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.
However, an induction of heme-oxygenase-1 (Hsp32) was seen following a 2-h challenge to Hg (II).

Western blotting confirmed that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and activating transcription factor-3 (ATF3) proteins were upregulated; however, unexpectedly, their localization changed within the kidney.
We compared rat kidney transcriptomes at 2 and 8 h after ischemia/reperfusion and after mercuric chloride.

Concurrent with these changes, mercuric chloride treatment activates transcription of the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene in a dose dependent manner, further indicating an oxidative stress response.
