The role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) modulation in heavy metal toxicity
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is an oxygen-sensing transcriptional regulator orchestrating a complex of adaptive cellular responses to hypoxia. Several studies have demonstrated that toxic metal exposure ...

Ferroptosis as a mechanism of non-ferrous metal toxicity
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of regulated cell death, implicated in multiple pathologies. Given that the toxicity elicited by some metals is linked to alterations in iron metabolism and induction ...

The Role of Human LRRK2 in Methylmercury-Induced Inhibition of Microvesicle Formation of Cephalic Neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans
In a previous study, we have shown that methylmercury (MeHg) exposure causes focal aggregation of intracellular transgenic mCherry protein in dendrites of cephalic (CEP) neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. eleg...

Activation of autophagic flux and the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway by hydrogen sulfide protects against acrylonitrile-induced neurotoxicity in primary rat astrocytes
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter, has been shown to act as a neuroprotective factor in numerous pathological processes; however, its underlying mechanism(s) of action remain unclear. It is widely...
