Mercury‐induced necrosis of murine renal cell carcinoma

Abstract: Administration of the nephrotoxic agent, bichloride of mercury (HgCl2), to BALB/c mice bearing subcapsular renal tumor transplants induced early preferential necrosis of the tumor cells compared with mercury‐treated normal kidney tubular cells and untreated control tumors. The principle is established that a selective proximal tubular poison is also toxic for a tumor of the same cellular origin.

“…For mercury (II) chloride experiments, the right panel of Figure 2 shows that mercury (II) chloride caused a sharp initial decrease in the CI, which occurred at the fi rst hour of the treatment and was strictly dose-dependent. Mercury-induced cytotoxicity is due to apoptosis and necrosis mediated by reactive oxygen species with increasing membrane permeability (Kim and Sharma, 2003;Herr et al, 1981). The quick drop of the CI values in cultured cells treated with mercury (II) chloride appears to refl ect the cell necrosis and quick apoptosis, which is consistent with the previous reports (Kim and Sharma, 2003;Herr et al, 1981).…”

“…Unlike As(III), Figure B shows that mercury caused a quick decrease in the CI, which occurred at the first hour of the treatment and was strictly dose-dependent. Mercury-induced cytotoxicity is due to apoptosis and necrosis mediated by reactive oxygen species with increasing membrane permeability ( , ), requiring no de novo protein synthesis (). The quick drop of the CI values in cultured cells treated with mercury appears to reflect the cell necrosis and quick apoptosis, which is consistent with the previous reports ( , ).…”

Afterward, the CI values at the concentration around the IC 50 value ranging from 10.43 to 32.8 μM were either flat or increased steadily.…”
