Macrophages from SJL and DBA mice incubated with mercuric chloride (HgCl2) in vitro for 24-72 h secreted an increased amount of interleukin 1 (IL-1) to the supernatant compared with control-incubated macrophages, as determined by a sensitive thymocyte proliferation assay.

Mercury also inhibited the ability of these cells to synthesize and secrete IL-1.

BMC Nephrol. 2007 Jan 24;8:3.

At-RA markedly reduced proteinuria as well as the number of cellular infiltrates in the renal interstitium, the levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta cytokines and VCAM-1 expression in renal tissue.
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.

The nature of an L-arginine-derived relaxing factor released from vascular smooth muscle cells cultured on microcarrier beads and stimulated for 20 h with interleukin 1 beta was investigated.

PBMCs were cultured with lipopolysaccharide and concentrations of mercuric chloride (HgCl (2)) up to 200 nM.
RESULTS: We found a consistent increase in the release of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and concurrent decrease in release of the antiinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1-receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and IL-10 in human PBMCs treated with subcytotoxic concentrations of HgCl (2).
