BMC Nephrol. 2007 Jan 24;8:3.

BACKGROUND: Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) induces an autoimmune nephritis in the Brown Norway (BN) rats characterized by anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies (anti-GBM Ab) deposition, proteinuria and a severe interstitial nephritis, all evident at day 13 of the disease.

We recently reported that the NAD (P) H oscillation frequency is affected by cell migration and activation, which can in turn be regulated by integrin-mediated signalling.

Our laboratory has previously characterized the inflammatory response developed in the experimental model of mercuric chloride (HgCl (2))-induced nephritis in Brown Norway rats as an acute inflammatory response dependent on very late antigen (VLA)-4.
In fact, at-RA inhibits the actin polymerization required for cell morphology changes, and it alters the distribution of F-actin and VLA-4 integrin in focal contacts, essential for cell adhesion.
