We studied the effects of Ca2+ and K+ on non-transferrin iron uptake from ferric citrate complex by HeLa and K562 cells. Uptake experiments in Na-HEPES buffer (137 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCI) showed that extracellular Ca2+ stimulated the iron uptake. The rate of iron uptake in 4 mM Ca2+ was about 3-5 times higher than without Ca2+. The iron uptake in K-HEPES buffer (68 mM NaCl, 75 mM KCI) with a high K+ level was transiently stimulated during the first 10 min. The rate of iron uptake for 0.4 mM Ca2+ was approximately 3 times higher in K-HEPES buffer than in Na-HEPES buffer. The calcium channel blockers. verapamil (50 muM) and nifedipine (5 muM) had no effect on the uptake either in control Na-HEPES buffer or after K+ stimulation in K-HEPES buffer. The sodium channel blocker lidocaine (50 muM) also had no effect on the uptake of iron in Na-HEPES buffer as well as after K+ stimulation. Furthermore, the iron uptake was not significantly affected when Na in the Na-HEPES and K-HEPES buffers was replaced by isotonic saccharose. We conclude that extracellular calcium per se, and not intracellular calcium or Ca2+ transport, stimulates ferric iron uptake by both HeLa and K562 cells. A high level of extracellular K+ also stimulates the uptake, probably via cell membrane depolarization. Na+ is not involved in these stimulations of iron uptake. The transient K+ effect and continuous Ca2+ effect seem to be additive. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
