Non-metallothionein-bound cadmium in the pathogenesis of cadmium nephrotoxicity in the rat.

Abstract:

:Male rats were injected SC with 0.6 mg Cd/kg/day for 5 days per week for 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Liver and kidney were examined morphologically and analyzed for metallothionein, cadmium, zinc, and copper. Morphologic changes were found in kidney but not in liver. The earliest ultrastructural change consisted of myelin figures in vacuoles in cytoplasm of proximal tubular lining cells reflecting degeneration of membranes. This change occurred after 4 weeks with 801 +/- 25 nmol/g (89.9 micrograms/g) total kidney cadmium or 390 nmol/g (43.7 micrograms/g) of cadmium not bound to metallothionein. Similar changes were observed after 6 weeks but after 8 weeks pathological changes consisted of focal cellular necrosis and interstitial fibrosis. Other ultrastructural changes included altered mitochondria and increased numbers of microbodies. Renal cadmium after 8 weeks exposure was 1827 +/- 48 nmol/g (215.3 +/- 5.8 micrograms/g) or 628 nmol/g (70.2 micrograms/g) of cadmium not bound to metallothionein. Total cadmium was higher in liver than in kidney but partitioning between bound and nonbound cadmium differed in the two organs. The fraction not bound to metallothionein increased with time of exposure in both liver and kidney. However, total cadmium in the liver did not exceed potentially available binding sites of metallothionein, whereas total cadmium did exceed potentially available binding sites of metallothionein in the kidney where pathologic changes occurred. The results indicated that degeneration of cellular membranes is an early cellular effect of cadmium exposure followed later by toxicity to organelles, cellular necrosis, and interstitial fibrosis. Cadmium-induced cellular toxicity is more directly related to the fraction of cadmium in the kidney that is not bound to metallothionein than is total cadmium per se.
