PI-3K/Akt Pathway-Dependent Cyclin D1 Expression Is Responsible for Arsenite-Induced Human Keratinocyte Transformation
5 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Long-term exposure of arsenite leads to human skin cancer. However, the exact mechanisms of arsenite-induced human skin carcinogenesis remain to be defined. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we investigated the potential role of PI-3K/Akt/cyclin D1in the transformation of human keratinocytic cells upon arsenite exposure. METHODS: We used the soft agar assay to evaluate the cell transformation activity of...
