Abstract：
:Chelating agents commonly used in therapy of heavy metal intoxication alter the levels of essential metals in liver, kidneys, and serum. Induction of metallothionein synthesis in liver occurs following exposure to a variety of chemical and environmental insults and, in some cases, has been attributed to enhanced hepatic uptake of zinc. Therefore, the effect of acute exposure to seven common metal chelators on the concentration of metallothionein in liver was investigated. Adult male Swiss Webster mice were injected intraperitoneally with the chelators and hepatic metallothionein was quantified by the cadmium radioassay. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) produced a 5- to 6-fold increase in hepatic metallothionein 24 hr after injection of 0.75 to 3.0 g/kg. No significant increase in hepatic MT was observed until 12 hr following injection of EDTA (1.5 g/kg, ip). Maximal levels were reached between 12 and 48 hr following EDTA injection. Cadmium, a known inducer of hepatic metallothionein, produced a 15-fold increase in the concentration of MT in liver 24 hr following injection. By comparison, 2,3-dimercaptopropanol and diethyldithiocarbamate produced a 9-fold and 13-fold increase in hepatic metallothionein levels, respectively, 24 hr following injection. A 4- to 6-fold increase in metallothionein was observed 24 hr following injection of 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid, D,L-penicillamine, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, and EDTA, while nitrilotriacetic acid elevated hepatic metallothionein levels by 2-fold. Alterations in the concentration of hepatic metallothionein by chelators may have implications for their efficacy in the treatment of cadmium intoxication.
