Proteomic analysis of chromium cytotoxicity in cultured rat lung epithelial cells

Abstract: Chromium (Cr) has been widely used in industry for more than one century. Exposure to hexavalent Cr compounds is strongly associated with increasing risk of lung cancer. Extensive researches at DNA level indicated that generation of ROS from the reduction of Cr(VI) leading to DNA damage is the major cause of the toxicity and carcinogenicity of Cr(VI). The present study in cellular and protein levels confirmed that Cr(VI) induced apoptosis of lung epithelial cells (LEC) via ROS generation. To view the different… Show more

“…This in turn is responsible for defective hematopoiesis [12]. It was established that Cr (VI) is a strong oxidant which causes cellular dysfunction and cell death [4,6,[13][14][15]. The routes of excretion of chromium are via the kidney/urine and bile/faeces [17].…”
