Caco-2 cells grown in bicameral chambers, a model of intestinal epithelial iron transport (Biochim. Biophys. Acta (1991) 1070, 205–208), were used to study the effect of apo-transferrin (apo-Tf) in the basal chamber on 59 Fe uptake from the apical surface, intracellular 59 Fe distribution, and 59 Fe transport into the basal chamber. Caco-2 cells were grown with varying amounts of iron to achieve cells that were either iron-deficient (FeD), of normal iron status (FeN), or iron-loaded (FeH). The effect of apo-Tf was most marked in FeD cells with the transport of 59 Fe from 1 μM 59 Fe-ascorbate on the apical side to the basal chamber measured as (22.2±3.0)· 10 4,(8.2±0.6)· 10 4, and (2.7±0.4)· 10 4 atoms 59 Fe/cell/min in the presence of apo-Tf, BSA, and no added protein, respectively. Unexpectedly in FeD cells total 59 Fe uptake (ie, both 59 Fe in the cells and that transported into the basal chamber) was decreased by basolateral apo-Tf with total uptake of (2.6±0.3)· 10 5,(4.8±0.6)· 10 5, and (4.8±0.7)· 10 5 atoms/cell/min with apo-Tf, BSA, and no additions, respectively. Analysis of intracellular 59 Fe by isoelectrofocusing in polyacrylamide gels demonstrated 59 Fe migrating both with a basic p I and with the p I values of ferritin (Ft) at a ratio of 200: 1 (basic p I moiety: ferritin) in FeD cells. The presence of Tf further decreased the small amount of 59 Fe in Ft. These studies demonstrate that basolateral Tf affects the apical uptake of 59 Fe, the intracellular distribution of 59 Fe, and the transport of 59 Fe across intestinal epithelium, the latter effect occurring even when cellular content of ferritin is high.
