Abstract:
:The effect of mucosal metallothionein (MT) preinduced by zinc (Zn) on tissue distribution of cadmium (Cd) after administration of Cd with several chelating agents was studied in rats. After Cd-cysteine (Cd-Cys) was incubated with intestinal Zn-MT in vitro, all the Cd dissociated from Cys and exchanged the Zn bound to MT. However, dissociation of Cd bound to EDTA (Cd-EDTA) was not observed in the incubation mixture containing intestinal Zn-MT. The concentration of Cd in intestinal mucosa reached a maximum 16 hr after oral administration of Cd-Cys. The Cd level in the intestine was higher than that in the liver and kidney and was similar to that occurring after oral administration of CdCl2. The amount of Cd distributed to the liver and kidney after Cd-EDTA administration was about 30% of the level after CdCl2 administration. Even at 15 mg Cd/kg Cd-EDTA, the Cd level in the intestinal mucosa reached a plateau after 2-4 hr, as it did in the liver and kidney. When Cd-Cys was administered po to control or to Zn-pretreated rats, it was found that Zn pretreatment increased the concentration of Cd in the kidney, as was the case after oral administration of CdCl2. This effect of Zn pretreatment was not observed after oral administration of Cd-EDTA. When Cd-MT was injected into the duodenum, the intestinal absorption of Cd was 60% of that after CdCl2 administration. After the duodenal administration of Cd-MT, at all doses, the concentration of Cd in the kidney was higher than that in the liver. These results suggest that mucosal MT in the small intestine might trap Cd absorbed from the intestinal lumen and transport it to the kidney.
