Popis: Fluoride (F) at micromolar (µM) concentrations induces apoptosis in several cell lines. Moreover, proteomic studies have shown major changes in the profile of proteins involved in signal transduction. These effects may negatively affect ion transport in the kidneys. The activity of epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) is a limiting factor for sodium and water resorption in the kidneys, which is essential for the maintenance of the electrolyte balance and homeostasis of the body. Here we investigated the effects of F, at different concentrations (10, 40, 100, 200, and 400 μM), on the viability of renal epithelial cells (M-1), and ENaC expression. We showed that sodium fluoride (NaF) reduces cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner (
