Beclin-1-mediated Autophagy Protects Against Cadmium-activated Apoptosis via the Fas/FasL Pathway in Primary Rat Proximal Tubular Cell Culture

Abstract The Fas/FasL signaling pathway is one of the primary apoptosis pathways, but the involvement and regulatory mechanism of this pathway by autophagy remain unclear. Here we demonstrated that cadmium (Cd) activated the Fas/FasL apoptosis pathway in rat proximal tubular (rPT) cells; this was ac...
