DEPRENYL INHIBITS POTENTIATED ARSENIC-INDUCED CYTOTOXICITY VIA THE INHIBITION OF C-JUN N- TERMINAL KINASE ACTIVATION

  • Published : 2001.10.01

Abstract

A previous study showed that sulfur amino acid deprivation (SAAD) potentiated cytotoxicity induced by arsenic (As) and that activation of ERKl/2, p38 kinase and JNK1 was responsible for the potentiation of As toxicity. In the present study, we found for the first time that deprenyl a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor prevented potentiation of As toxicity by SAAD in a dose-dependent manner.(omitted)
