Cadmium, an environmental and occupational health hazard, can substitute for calcium in the activation of calmodulin in several in vitro assays. It was shown that Cd(2+) can substitute for Ca(2+) in the induction of actin-based gelation in cytoplasmic extracts from rat liver; gelation induced by either Ca(2+) or Cd(2+) is inhibited by trifluoperazine, a well known calmodulin inhibitor; and in MDCK cells there is a Cd(2+)-induced redistribution of actin filaments with the loss of stress fibres and the appearance of actin bundles at the periphery of these cells.
镉是一种环境和职业健康危害物,在多项体外试验中,它能够在钙调蛋白的激活过程中替代钙。研究表明,在大鼠肝脏细胞质提取物中,Cd(2+) 可以替代Ca(2+) 诱导基于肌动蛋白的凝胶化;三氟拉嗪(一种著名的钙调蛋白抑制剂)可抑制由Ca(2+) 或Cd(2+) 诱导的凝胶化;在MDCK细胞中,Cd(2+) 会诱导肌动蛋白丝重新分布,应力纤维消失,且在这些细胞周边出现肌动蛋白束。
