Abstract excerpt
The transition metal cadmium (Cd) has been shown to induce apoptosis in a variety of cell lines and tissues. Caspase activation of the tumor suppressor gene p53 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades have been reported to be involved in Cd-induced apoptosis. However, the underlying pathways of Cd-induced apoptosis have not been clearly elucidated in the in vivo systems, primarily for the...
