摘要: Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a cytotoxic effector molecule produced by macrophages that results in Fe mobilization from tumour target cells which inhibits DNA synthesis and mitochondrial respiration. It well known NO has high affinity for Fe, we showed NO-mediated markedly potentiated glutathione (GSH) generated the hexose monophosphate shunt [Watts, R.N. & Richardson, D.R. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 4724–4732]. We hypothesized GSH completes coordination shell of an NO–Fe complex released cell. In this report have extended our studies to further characterize mechanism mobilization. Native PAGE 59Fe-autoradiography shows decreased ferritin-59Fe levels prelabelled with [59Fe]transferrin. cells, increased 3.5−fold when were reincubated control media between 30 240 min. contrast, NO, 10-fold compared after 240-min reincubation. However, could not remove ferritin cell lysates. Our data suggest intercepts 59Fe on route ferritin, indirectly facilitates removal protein. Studies using GSH-depleting agent, l-buthionine-(S,R)-sulphoximine, indicated reduction via was GSH-dependent. Competition experiments permeable chelators demonstrated both bind similar pool. requires cellular metabolism order effect does occur passive diffusion down concentration gradient.
