Copper (Cu), a transition metal with essential cellular functions, exerts toxic effects when present in excess by inducing oxidative stress. However, the Cu-induced crosstalk between mitophagy and apoptosis and the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, the mechanism of Cu-induced hepatotoxicity mediated by mitophagy and apoptosis was explored in vivo and in vitro. In in vivo experiments, chickens were fed a diet with various levels of Cu (11, 110, 220, and 330 mg/kg) for 7 weeks, which led to ultrastructural damage, mitophagy, and apoptosis in liver tissue.In vitroexperiments on primary chicken hepatocytes showed that Cu treatment for 24 h increased the numbers of mitophagosomes and upregulated PINK1, parkin, and p62 mRNA levels and parkin and p62 protein levels, inducing mitophagy. Moreover, treatment with 3- methyladenine (3-MA) aggravated Cu-induced S-phase arrest in cell cycle; increased the apoptotic rate; increased p53, Bak1, Bax, Cyt C, and Caspase3/cleaved-caspase3 mRNA and protein levels; and decreased Bcl2 mRNA and protein levels. However, rapamycin (Rapa) had the opposite effects on the above factors. In general, the results reveal that Cu exposure can cause mitophagy through the PINK1/Parkin pathway in chicken livers, and that mitophagy might attenuate Cu-induced mitochondrial apoptosis.
