Effects of selenium on toxicity and ultrastructural localization of mercury in cultured murine macrophages.

Abstract:

:The effects of selenium on cellular toxicity and histochemical distribution of mercury were examined in a cell culture system of mouse peritoneal macrophages. Selenium protected against the toxicity of mercury in cultures exposed to 4 microM of mercuric chloride. Selenomethionine caused a significant increase in cell survival throughout the experiments, while sodium selenite delayed the toxicity of mercury for a while, after which selenite itself had a toxic effect. The amount of mercury visualized by autometallography was increased in macrophage cultures pre-exposed to sodium selenite or selenomethionine. The additional mercury made visible by this histochemical demonstration was located in the cytoplasm as well as in the lysosomes.
