Metabolism of orally administered cadmium-metallothionein in mice.

Abstract:

:The main source of cadmium in the diet is cereal or meat, especially in liver and kidney. Since the cadmium in both liver and kidney is bound to metallothionein, a heat-stable protein, the gastrointestinal absorption and metabolism of cadmium metallothionein (CdMt) was studied in detail. The selective renal cadmium deposition after oral CdMt was analogous to the studies on injected CdMt. Metallothionein with 109Cd or 35S-cysteine radioactive label was isolated from rat liver and administered orally (60 microgram Cd) through a gastric tube to mice (C57 BL/6J). After 4 hr, a major portion of the ingested CdMt was isolated intact from intestinal mucosal cells. However, only a small amount of cadmium bound metallothionein was present in the kidney supernatant. The protein moeity was also degraded completely in kidney. The absorption and tissue distribution of cadmium from oral-cysteine and cadmium-glutathione complexes were similar to that after oral CdCl2 in mice. These results that oral CdMt may be absorbed intact from the gastrointestinal tract and the protein is degraded during renal deposition.
