Changes of parthanatos-related proteins caused by cadmium. Western blot analysis of the expression of parthanatos-related proteins in NRK-52E cells and primary rPT cells after treated with different concentrations of Cd for 12 h. (A and B) Cytoplasmic and nuclear PARP-1 and nuclear AIF increased as the Cd concentration and incubation time increased in NRK-52E cells and primary rPT cells. (C and D) Cd induced the cytoplasmic formation of PAR polymer, dependent on its concentration and exposure time in NRK-52E cells and primary rPT cells.
