Characterization of Zn2+ transport in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells

Abstract: The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanism implicated in Zn(2+) transport in MDCK cells. Trace elements such as Zn(2+), Cd(2+) or Cu(2+) induced MDCK cell depolarization at the micromolar level as demonstrated by bis-oxonol fluorescence and whole-cell patch experiments. This depolarization was inhibited by La(3+) and Gd(3+) and was not related to the activation of Na(+) or Cl(-) channels. Uptake of 65Zn was assessed under initial rate conditions. The kinetic parameters obtained at 37 degrees C wer… Show more

“…Other transporters have been suggested to drive the distal reabsorption of heavy metals. Thus, Ducoudret et al [4] showed that Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, which share some properties of distal nephron cells, expressed a transporter, sensitive to pH, which transports Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ but not Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ or Co 2+ . Nagao et al [14] described in this cell line a metal transporter involved in the uptake of Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Pb 2+ and Zn 2+ but not in the uptake of Fe 2+ or Mn 2+ .…”
