Abstract excerpt
5-Methylchrysene has been found to be a complete carcinogen in laboratory animals. However, the tumor promotion effects of (+/-)-anti-5-methylchrysene-1,2-diol-3,4-epoxide (5-MCDE) remain unclear. In the present work, we found that 5-MCDE induced marked activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation in Cl41 cells. 5-MCDE also induced a marked activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K). Inhibition of PI-3K...
