Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is one of the main cellular processes in responses to arsenic, the well known environmental carcinogen. By using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model, we found that insulin-like growth factor-1 networks and their target protein DAF-16/FOXO, known as key regulators of energy metabolism and growth, played important roles in arsenite-induced apoptosis. Inactivation of DAF-2, AGE-1 and...
