Cytotoxic effects of hexavalent chromium in cultured murine macrophages.

M M Christensen1, E Ernst, S Ellermann-Eriksen.   

Abstract

The in vitro effect of hexavalent chromium (CrVI) on mouse peritoneal macrophages was investigated. Our results demonstrate the existence of a threshold concentration of 2.5 microM of CrVI above which chromium affects the viability of macrophages in a concentration dependent manner. Morphological changes were seen with increasing concentrations of chromium. Evidence is presented that protein production (virus-induced interferon) in murine peritoneal macrophages was impaired by hexavalent chromium at low concentrations, while random migration and phagocytic activity were only affected at high concentrations of CrVI.
