High concentrations of nickel (Ni) are harmful to humans and animals. Ni targets a number of organs and produces multiple toxic effects. Apoptosis is important in Ni-induced toxicity of the kidneys, liver, nerves, and immune system. Apoptotic pathways mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Fas, and c-Myc participate in Ni-induced cell apoptosis. However, the exact mechanism of apoptosis caused by Ni is still unclear. Understanding the mechanism of Ni-induced apoptosis may help in designing measures to prevent Ni toxicity.
高浓度镍(Ni)对人类和动物有害。镍会靶向多个器官并产生多种毒性作用。细胞凋亡在镍诱导的肾脏、肝脏、神经和免疫系统毒性中起重要作用。由活性氧(ROS)、线粒体、内质网(ER)、Fas和c-Myc介导的凋亡途径参与镍诱导的细胞凋亡。然而,镍引起细胞凋亡的确切机制仍不清楚。了解镍诱导细胞凋亡的机制可能有助于设计预防镍毒性的措施。
