EDTA is a well known enhancer of iron absorption; however, the precise way of absorption of iron ingested in presence of EDTA is not known; some data suggest it could use a passive, non regulated paracellular way. Iron (sulphate or gluconate) absorption by Caco-2 cells was assessed in presence of EDTA. EDTA did not change the apical uptake of iron; transport in the basal chamber increased by 98% for FeSO4 and 95% for Fe gluconate. By contrast, intracellular storage decreased by 31% for FeSO4 and 64% for Fe gluconate. In addition EDTA induced a significant increase of permeability of the cell monolayer assessed by a decrease of transepithelial electrical resistance: 314+/-34 Omegacm(-2) to 235+/-57 Omegacm(-2) for sulphate, 414+/-33 Omegacm(-2) to 223+/-36 Omegacm(-2) for gluconate; iron free control: 410+/-10 Omegacm(-2).
These results suggest that in presence of EDTA iron absorption occurs mainly by the paracellular instead of the regulated cellular way, that could potentially enhance its toxicity.
乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)是一种众所周知的铁吸收增强剂;然而,在EDTA存在的情况下摄入的铁的确切吸收方式尚不清楚;一些数据表明它可能通过被动的、非调节性的细胞旁途径吸收。在EDTA存在的情况下评估了Caco-2细胞对铁(硫酸盐或葡萄糖酸盐)的吸收。EDTA并未改变铁的顶端摄取;对于硫酸亚铁,基底室中的转运增加了98%,对于葡萄糖酸亚铁则增加了95%。相比之下,硫酸亚铁的细胞内储存减少了31%,葡萄糖酸亚铁减少了64%。此外,通过跨上皮电阻的降低评估,EDTA诱导细胞单层的通透性显著增加:对于硫酸盐,从314±34Ωcm⁻²降至235±57Ωcm⁻²,对于葡萄糖酸盐,从414±33Ωcm⁻²降至223±36Ωcm⁻²;无铁对照:410±10Ωcm⁻²。
这些结果表明,在EDTA存在的情况下,铁的吸收主要通过细胞旁途径而非调节性细胞途径发生,这可能会增强其毒性。
