4-tert-butylphenol (4-tBP) is a monomer widely used in the synthesis of industrial chemicals, and posed a high risk to aquatic animals. Our study focused on toxic phenotype and mechanism of detoxification in grass carp hepatocytes (L8824) after 4-tBP-treatment. In this experiment, L8824 displayed hallmark phenotypes of apoptosis and necroptosis after 4-tBP exposure, as evidenced by changes in cell morphology, increased rates of apoptosis and necrosis, the loss of MMP, the accumulation of ROS, and changes in associated factors (PARP1, JNK, Bid, Bcl-2, Bax, AIFM1, CytC, Caspase 9, APAF1, Caspase 3, TNF-α, TNFR1, RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL)...
