Apoptosis induced by mercuric chloride is associated with upregulation of PERK-ATF4-CHOP pathway in chicken embryonic kidney cells
Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) is a serious environmental toxicant. So far, the toxicity mechanism of HgCl2 in chicken embryonic kidney (CEK) cells is not still fully understood. In this study, the possible molecular mechanisms of HgCl2 on apoptosis of CEK cells were investigated. Results showed that the...
