Molybdenum and cadmium co-induce hypothalamus toxicity in ducks via disturbing Nrf2-mediated defense response and triggering mitophagy

Growing evidences reveal that Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense response and mitophagy are involved in the toxic mechanism of heavy metals, but the effects of molybdenum (Mo) and cadmium (Cd) co-exposure on Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense response and mitophagy in duck hypothalamus have yet to be...

Moreover, Mo or/and Cd not only restrained Nrf2 pathway by decreasing Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1, GST, CAT, SOD1, GCLM mRNA expression levels and Nrf2 protein expression level, but also disturbed mitochondrial dynamics and triggered PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy by enhancing MFF, PINK1, Parkin, Bnip3, LC3A, LC3B mRNA expression levels and PINK1, Parkin, LC3B-II/LC3B-I protein expression levels, inhibiting Mfn1, Mfn2, OPA1, P62 mRNA expression levels and P62 protein expression level, and facilitating the colocalization between LC3 and HSP60.
