RESUMO
Treatment of K562 cells, a human erythroleukemia cell line, with desferrioxamine raised the levels of the receptor for transferrin (Tf) two- to threefold over that of the control cells. The levels of receptor were reduced by at least 50 and 35% of that of the control in cells treated with diferric Tf and ferric ammonium citrate, respectively. These changes were of total cellular receptors with no alteration in the proportion of receptors found on the cell surface. The half-lives of the receptor were identical in cells treated with desferrioxamine, diferric Tf, or ferric ammonium citrate. Cells metabolically labeled with [35S]methionine showed a 2.5-fold increase in the rate of receptor synthesis when treated with desferrioxamine and a 35 and 65% decrease when treated with ferric ammonium citrate and diferric Tf, respectively. In vitro translations of polyadenylated mRNA isolated from cells incubated with desferrioxamine showed a 2.5-fold increase in translatable mRNA for the receptor, whereas treatment of cells with ferric ammonium citrate and diferric Tf resulted in a 25 and 50% reduction, respectively, in translatable mRNA for this receptor.
