Apoptosis induced by cadmium has been shown in many tissues in vivo and in cultured cells
in vitro. However, its molecular mechanism is not fully understood. When the human …

Apoptosis is a process of active cell death and is characterized by activation of caspases,
DNA fragmentation, and biochemical and morphological changes. To better understand …

Previous reports have demonstrated that cadmium (Cd) may induce cell death via apoptosis,
but the mechanism responsible for cellular death is not clear. In this study, we investigated …

Cadmium (Cd), a potent immunotoxic metal, induces apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.
However, the mode of action remains unclear. We previously reported that Cd-induced …

The induction of apoptotic cell death by cadmium was investigated in eight mammalian cell
lines. Great differences in the cytotoxicity of cadmium were found with different cell lines: Rat …

Cadmium, a well‐known environmental hazard, has caused serious health problems in
humans and animals. Accumulating evidence suggests the cadmium toxicity is mediated by …

This study investigates the mechanism of cell death induced by cadmium (Cd) in Chinese
hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Cells exposed to 4 μM Cd for 24 h did not show signs of …

Cadmium-induced cellular toxicity has been related to necrosis and/or caspase-dependent
apoptosis. In the present study, we show that, on cadmium exposure, the human …

Cadmium is the major component of polluted environment which can be fatal by
mechanisms that are not fully clear. Our study indicates immunosupression may be one of …

Cadmium is a well-known toxic compound for the liver. It has been demonstrated to induce
hepatotoxicity partly via apoptosis, but no uniform mechanism of apoptosis has so far been …
