초록

The contamination of the environment with pollutants is one of the main problems of modern life, and the levels pollution in industrialized regions are giving raise to increased public concern. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) are playa pivotal role in the regulation of important cellular functions by activation of specific signal transduction pathways from cell the surface to the nuclei. Three major subgroups of MAP kinases have been identified, and these comprise the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK), and the p38 MAP kinases [1-3]. Herein, we investigated the effect of regulation of phospho-JNK (p-JNK), phospho-p38 (p-p38) and phospho-ERK (p-ERK) by TCDD. (omitted)
