Experimental data show that mercury (Hg) salts are able to induce systemic autoimmunity in rodents. This Hg-induced autoimmune process (HgIA) is characterized by T cell-dependent polyclonal activation of B lymphocytes, increased level of serum immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and immunoglobulin E (IgE), production of antinucleolar autoantibodies (ANoA), and immune complex deposition in multiple organs. HgIA in mice is used as a model of human systemic autoimmune disorders. However, the dose of mercuric chloride (HgCl\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) usually used in laboratory mice to induce HgIA is above the allowable limit for everyday levels of Hg exposure in humans. So, we decided to determine the lowest dose of HgCl\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    that is able to trigger autoimmunity in outbred Carworth Farms Swiss Webster (CFW) mice not genetically prone to HgIA development. The lowest dose (50 \u00b5g\/kg body weight (b.w.)\/week) was chosen to match the World Health Organization provisional weekly tolerable intake of total Hg for humans. We also tested HgCl\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    at 500 and 1500 \u00b5g\/kg b.w.\/week (6.5- and 2-fold less than usually used for induction of HgIA in mice). We found that even the lowest dose of Hg resulted in a statistically significant increase in serum level of IgG1 after 8 weeks of treatment. HgCl\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    in doses 500 and 1500 \u00b5g\/kg b.w.\/week resulted in a significant increase in serum level of IgG1 after 4 weeks of treatment, followed by ANoA production. Sera of HgCl\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    -treated mice stained the regions in which the major autoantigen in HgIA, fibrillarin, was revealed. These results suggest that low doses of Hg are able to induce the main features of HgIA in genetically heterozygous mice, and that humans chronically exposed to low doses of Hg may be at risk of autoimmunity induction regardless of their genetic background.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0748233715573691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,12]],"date-time":"2015-03-12T21:23:11Z","timestamp":1426195391000},"page":"1663-1674","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Low doses of mercuric chloride cause the main features of anti-nucleolar autoimmunity in female outbred CFW mice"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Alla S","family":"Arefieva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Structural Biochemistry, M.M.
