Summary: | Rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells show markedly high sensitivity to both CdCl
2
and MnCl
2
compared with other rat cell lines, due to efficient accumulation of cadmium and manganese. To clarify the roles of metal transporters in hyperaccumulation of cadmium and manganese in RBL-2H3 cells, Cd-resistant and Mn-resistant cells were developed from RBL-2H3 cells by continuous exposure to CdCl
2
and MnCl
2
, respectively. The established Cd-resistant (RBL-Cdr) and Mn-resistant (RBL-Mnr) cells exhibited about 20 times higher LC
50
values of CdCl
2
and MnCl
2
, respectively, than parental RBL-2H3 cells, and showed cross-resistance to each metal. The resistance to cadmium and manganese was primarily conferred by a marked decrease in the uptake of both metals. RBL-Cdr cells also showed cross-resistance to HgCl
2
and AgNO
3
probably due to enhanced expression of metallothionein. Among the possible transporters involved in the uptake of Cd
2+
and Mn
2+
, the expression of ZIP8 (Zrt-, Irt-related protein 8), encoded by
Slc39a8
, showed a marked suppression in both RBL-Cdr and RBL-Mnr cells. These results suggest that ZIP8 plays a pivotal role in the transport and toxicity of Cd
2+
and Mn
2+
in RBL-2H3 cells.
Cd-resistant and Mn-resistant cells established from RBL-2H3 cells showed the suppression of ZIP8 which is involved in the transport of both Cd and Mn. |
