Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Uptake of iron by a mammalian epithelial cell line (CNCM I-221) was shown to be dependent on the nature of the iron complex. Iron uptake was demonstrated by cytochemical staining and determination of redox-reactive iron in cell lysates. Three classes of ligands were investigated: (i) low molecular weight hydrophilic compounds, represented by ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and other charged ligands such as adenosine phosphates (ATP, ADP, AMP) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), (2) low-molecular weight lipophilic ligands such as 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and (3) a high molecular mass ligand, dextran. Iron complexed to 8-HQ accumulated intracellularly, the uptake rate of iron being 4.16 fmoles cell-1 h-1 of exposure at 37 degrees C or 3.86 fmoles cell-1 h-1 at 4 degrees C. Iron-dextran was endocytosed and retained in phagosomes. The uptake rate of iron following exposure to iron dextrans was found to be 5.6 fmoles cell-1 h-1 of exposure at 37 degrees C. In contrast to iron/8-HQ, uptake of iron dextran by cells was inhibited at 4 degrees C. Iron complexed to low molecular weight hydrophilic ligands was not taken up by cells. Cytotoxicity was measured by reduction of plating efficiency or tritiated thymidine incorporation. These tests showed that toxic effects of added iron were demonstrable only in cells exposed to the complex with 8-HQ.
