Cellular cadmium uptake mediated by the transport system for manganese.
The mechanism of cellular cadmium (Cd) uptake has been poorly understood. Recently, we developed Cd-resistant cell lines from metallothionein null mouse cells and showed that the Cd resistance of these cells was conferred primarily by a reduced Cd accumulation. Surprisingly, the uptake rate of manganese (Mn) was also markedly reduced in Cd-resistant cells. Subsequent studies on the kinetics of ...
متن کاملNanolipoparticles-mediated MDR1 siRNA delivery: preparation, characterization and cellular uptake
Objective(s): Lipid-based nanoparticles (NLP) are PEGylated carriers composed of lipids and encapsulated nucleic acids with a diameter less than 100 nm. The presence of PEG in the NLP formulation improves the particle pharmacokinetic behavior. The purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize NLPs containing MDR1 siRNA and evaluate their cytotoxicity and cellular uptake. MDR1 siRNA coul...
متن کاملSuppression of a high-affinity transport system for manganese in cadmium-resistant metallothionein-null cells.
Cadmium is a hazardous heavy metal existing ubiquitously in the environment, but the mechanism of cadmium transport into mammalian cells has been poorly understood. Recently, we have established a cadmium-resistant cell line (Cd-rB5) from immortalized metallothionein-null mouse cells, and found that Cd-rB5 cells exhibited a marked decrease in cadmium uptake. To investigate the mechanism of alte...
متن کاملCadmium uptake by plants.
Food chain contamination by cadmium (Cd) is the most important pathway of Cd exposure to the general population, excluding smokers. Factors affecting transfer of Cd from soil and air to plants are reviewed. The direct deposition of airborne Cd in the plants has only a marginal influence on the crop Cd concentrations in rural areas with low atmospheric Cd deposition, i.e. < 2 g Cd ha(-1) y(-1). ...
متن کاملCellular uptake of lithium via amino acid transport system A.
We now add to the agencies by which cells take up lithium the process of cotransport with neutral amino acids via System A. In the Ehrlich cell various natural and synthetic amino acids, depending on their structure, can cause substantial accelerations of Li+ uptake over a considerable range of levels of Na+, Li+ and H+. Half the maximal augmentation of uptake, namely 1.2 mequiv. Li/kg cell wat...
