Cells were treated with 25 μM Cd for the indicated times, then washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), harvested using trypsin, suspended in PBS, and incubated with 4 μM fluo-4 at 37 °C for 1 h. The cells were centrifuged at 1000×g for 5 min, washed three times with PBS, resuspended in PBS, and incubated at 37 °C for 20 min. Intracellular Ca2+ was analyzed using flow cytometry (FACSCanto; BD Biosciences).
