Disruption of AMPK function blocked the PINK1/Parkin pathway in Cd‐treated PC12 cells. A and B, Disruption of AMPK function in PC12 cells was achieved by a genetic mutation or chemical inhibition. After Cd treatment, mitochondrial and cytoplasmic PINK1 and Parkin levels were analysed by Western blot. The results were quantified and analysed by Image J software. (*P < .05, **P < .01)
