In HepG2 cells, co-exposure of CPF with a specific inhibitor of either P-gp or BCRP enhanced the cytotoxicity of CPF while co-exposure of CPFO with VRP enhanced the cytotoxicity of CPFO, suggesting the role of these transporters in the elimination CPF and CPFO. Inhibition of efflux transporters did not affect the cytotoxicity of CPF and CPFO in HK-2 cells.

Results showed that CPO exposure induced dose-dependent apoptosis and expression of ER stress-related proteins in SH-SY5Y cells.

In addition, CPO exposure significantly evoked the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which could be eliminated by pretreatment of 4-PBA. Of note, buffering the ROS generation with antioxidant NAC had little impact on the expression of p-IRE1α, and only partially attenuated CPO-induced apoptosis. In contrast, co-pretreatment with NAC and STF-083010 effectively inhibited CPO-induced apoptotic events. Collectively, our results indicate that CPO exposure exerts neuronal cytotoxicity via ER stress downstream-regulated IRE1α/XBP1 signaling pathway and ROS generation-triggered apoptosis.
