| Abstract | Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis and autophagy. However, the regulatory mechanisms responsible for the signaling pathways initiated by Cd are incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the involvement of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3αβ and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Cd toxicity. Cd-exposed H460 cells exhibited activation of JNK, p38, PERK, and CHOP and induction of autophagy and apoptosis; in contrast, levels of these proteins were minimal in Cd-resistant H1299 cells. In H460 cells, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of JNK markedly enhanced CHOP, autophagy and apoptosis induced by Cd, which were reversed by overexpression of JNK1. Inhibition of p38 suppressed Cd-induced CHOP, and markedly inhibited autophagy via Atg5 downregulation. Cd-exposed H460 cells showed GSK3αβ phosphorylation at serine (Ser) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues, which was downregulated by a GSK3 inhibitor (SB216763) and by genetic silencing of GSK3β, subsequently suppressing JNK and p38 activation. However, H460 cells pretreated with lithium or overexpressing GSK3β exhibited enhanced JNK and p38 activation. Pretreatment of H460 cells with okadaic acid (a Ser/Thr phosphatase inhibitor) upregulated Cd-induced p-Ser GSK3αβ and enhanced CHOP, p-p38 and autophagy, whereas treatment with vanadate (a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor) downregulated Cd-induced p-Ser GSK3αβ, enhanced p-JNK and downregulated CHOP and autophagy. Furthermore, H460 cells overexpressing a constitutively active GSK3β mutant (S9A) exhibited enhanced p-JNK and inhibited CHOP, whereas overexpression of constitutively inactive GSK3β (K85A) enhanced p-p38 and autophagy in response to Cd. Pretreatment with N-acetyl cysteine suppressed Cd-induced p-Ser/p-Tyr GSK3αβ and downstream pathways. These findings show that Cd toxicity is regulated by autophagy, which can be countered by prosurvival JNK and prodeath p38 MAPK activation through site-specific phosphorylation of GSK3αβ. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
