Viability was assessed in H4IIE cells treated with sodium arsenite, mercuric chloride, sodium selenite, lead acetate, chromium trioxide or manganese chloride.

The cytotoxic EC (50) of mercury ranged from 62.7 to 81.1 microM by various assays in J774A.1 cultures; accordingly, we employed 70 microM of mercuric chloride in most experiments.

Phosphorylation of p38 kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) were examined as possible mediators of mercury induced GLUT 1 levels.

This study was designed to investigate the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione on the resistance of AML-2/DX100 cells to mercuric chloride.
The specific inhibitor for p38 MAPK and ERK, and antioxidant decreased the production of MRP1 and therefore resistance of AML-2/DX100 cells against mercury exposure.

Exposure of HgCl2 to CCRF-CEM human lymphoblastoid cells induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs); extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38.

Cortical slices (275 microm) were obtained from 1.0 kg NZW rabbits and exposed to mercuric chloride [Hg (II)] at concentrations of 0.01-10 microM for 2-8 h.

We have now determined the ability of DDM-PGE (2) to protect against other renal toxicants and report that DDM-PGE (2) only protects against oncotic cell death, induced by H (2) O (2), iodoacetamide, and TGHQ, but not against apoptotic cell death induced by cisplatin, mercuric chloride, or tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
Moreover, TGHQ-induced p38 MAPK activation is disrupted under conditions of a compromised ER stress response in pkASgrp78 cells, which likely contributes to the loss of cytoprotection.
