H-Ferritin Subunit Overexpression in Erythroid Cells Reduces the Oxidative Stress Response and Induces Multidrug Resistance Properties

From the Department of Biological Chemistry, Institute of Life Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Isreal; Nephrology Unit, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel; Génétique et Pathologie Moleculaire de l'Hématopoiese, Faculté Xavier Bichat, Paris, France.

The labile iron pool (LIP) of animal cells has been implicated in cell iron regulation and as a key component of the oxidative-stress response. A major mechanism commonly implied in the downregulation of LIP has been the induced expression of ferritin (FT), particularly the heavy subunits (H-FT) that display ferroxidase activity. The effects of H-FT on LIP and other physiological parameters were studied in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells stably transfected with H-FT subunits. Clones expressing different levels of H-FT displayed similar concentrations of total cell iron (0.3 ± 0.1 mmol/L) and of reduced/total glutathione. However, with increasing H-FT levels the cells expressed lower levels of LIP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ensuing cell death after iron loads and oxidative challenges. These results provide direct experimental support for the alleged roles of H-FT as a regulator of labile cell iron and as a possible attenuator of the oxidative cell response. H-FT overexpression was of no apparent consequence to the cellular proliferative capacity. However, concomitant with the acquisition of iron and redox regulatory capacities, the H-FT-transfectant cells commensurately acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) properties. These properties were identified as increased expression of MDR1 mRNA (by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]), P-glycoprotein (Western immunoblotting), drug transport activity (verapamil-sensitive drug efflux), and drug cytotoxicity associated with increased MDR1 or PgP. Although enhanced MDR expression per se evoked no significant changes in either LIP levels or ROS production, it might be essential for the survival of H-FT transfectants, possibly by expediting the export of cell-generated metabolites.
