Dietary NiCl₂ causes G₂/M cell cycle arrest in the broiler's kidney

Oncotarget. 2015 Nov 3;6(34):35964-77. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.5934.

Abstract

Here we showed that dietary NiCl2 in excess of 300 mg/kg caused the G2/M cell cycle arrest and the reduction of cell proportion at S phase. The G2/M cell cycle arrest was accompanied by up-regulation of phosphorylated ataxia telangiectasia mutated (p-ATM), p53, p-Chk1, p-Chk2, p21 protein expression and ATM, p53, p21, Chk1, Chk2 mRNA expression, and down-regulation of p-cdc25C, cdc2, cyclinB and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein expression and the cdc25, cdc2, cyclinB, PCNA mRNA expression.

Keywords: G2/M cell cycle arrest; NiCl2; kidney; mRNA expression; protein expression.
