The mechanism of nickel-induced autophagy and its role in nephrotoxicity

Nickel (Ni), an environmental health hazard, is nephrotoxic to humans, but the exact mechanism is unknown. This study aims to identify whether nephrotoxicity is associated with autophagy. Here, nickel chloride (NiCl2) increased autophagy in TCMK-1 cells. NiCl2 induces autophagy through Akt and AMPK/...
