title: [Effects of p,p'-DDE on intracellular MAPK pathway of rat Sertoli cells in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study effects of p,p'-DDE on intracellular p-ERK of rat Sertoli cells in vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  We cultured Sertoli cells separated from testicular tissue of rats and examined the changes of intracellular p-ERK, using immunohistochemical SABC method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It was showed that intracellular p-ERK increased with the dose of p,p'-DDE and had a dose-dependent trend.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results suggested that p,p'-DDE could result in the phosphorylation of ERK and induce the activation of the downstream road and the transcription and expression of genes.
