Regulatory effects of gallium on transferrin-independent iron uptake by human leukemic HL60 cells.

چکیده
Gallium, a pharmacologically important metal, resembles iron with respect to transferrin (Tf) binding and Tf receptor-mediated cellular uptake. In the present study, we examined the effect of gallium on Tf-independent iron uptake by HL60 cells. In contrast to the inhibitory effect of Tf-gallium on Tf-iron uptake, gallium nitrate, in a time-, temperature-, and concentration-dependent manner, stimulated Tf-independent uptake of iron-nitrilotriacetic acid (Fe-NTA). Preexposure of cells to gallium followed by removal of gallium also resulted in sustained stimulation of iron uptake. The anti-Tf receptor monoclonal antibody 42/6 blocked Tf-iron uptake, but had no effect on gallium-induced stimulation of Tf-independent iron uptake. Gallium increased the number of cell membrane iron-binding sites, without a change in their affinity for iron. Ferric chloride stimulated Tf-independent gallium uptake. Although gallium nitrate inhibited cell growth in Tf-free medium, cellular proliferation was restored by Fe-NTA. Gallium and iron appear to share the same Tf-independent cellular uptake system in HL60 cells. Exposure of cells to gallium results in the activation of cell membrane non-Tf iron carriers that may play a role in overcoming the Tf-independent growth-inhibitory effects of gallium.

Uptake of gallium-67 by human leukemic cells: demonstration of transferrin receptor-dependent and transferrin-independent mechanisms.
We have studied the role of transferrin and the transferrin receptor in the uptake of 67Ga by the human leukemic cell line HL60. In the absence of transferrin, HL60 cells incorporated about 1% of the 67Ga dose over 6 h. The presence of transferrin increased cellular 67Ga uptake approximately 10-fold. Transferrin-mediated uptake of 67Ga was blocked by an anti-transferrin receptor monoclonal anti...

متن کاملTransferrin receptor-dependent and -independent iron transport in gallium-resistant human lymphoid leukemic cells.
Recent studies showed that gallium and iron uptake are decreased in gallium-resistant (R) CCRF-CEM cells; however, the mechanisms involved were not fully elucidated. In the present study, we compared the cellular uptake of 59Fe-transferrin (Tf) and 59Fe-pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) to determine whether the decrease in iron uptake by R cells is caused by changes in Tf receptor (TfR)-d...
متن کاملRegulation of transferrin receptor expression on human leukemic cells during proliferation and induction of differentiation. Effects of gallium and dimethylsulfoxide.
The association of transferrin receptor expression with cellular proliferation has been studied extensively, but a number of events have not been defined. We therefore assayed receptor on promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells at early times after exposure to a stimulus for proliferation (subculture), as well as agents that either induce differentiation (dimethylsulfoxide [DMSO] ) or inhibit iron...
متن کاملDevelopment of drug resistance to gallium nitrate through modulation of cellular iron uptake.
We have shown that transferrin-gallium (Tf-Ga) blocks DNA synthesis through inhibition of cellular iron incorporation and a diminution in the activity of the iron-dependent M2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase. To examine the mechanisms of drug resistance to gallium, we developed a subline of HL60 cells (R cells) which is 29-fold more resistant to growth inhibition by gallium nitrate than the...
