Neurological development and functioning of dopamine (DA) neurotransmission is adversely affected by iron deficiency in early life. Iron‐deficient rats demonstrate significant elevations in extracellular DA and a reduction in dopamine transporter (DAT) densities in the caudate putamen and nucleus accumbens. To explore possible mechanisms by which cellular iron concentrations control DAT functioning, endogenous DAT‐expressing PC12 cells were used to determine the effect of iron chelation on DAT protein and mRNA expression patterns. In addition, we used human DAT (hDAT)‐transfected Neuro2a (N2A) cells to examine DAT degradation and trafficking patterns. A 50 µmtreatment for 24 h with the iron chelator, desferrioxamine (DFO), significantly decreased dopamine uptake in a dose‐dependent manner, with no apparent change inKm, in both PC12 and N2A cells. Reduced DA uptake was accompanied by concentration‐ and time‐dependent reductions in total DAT protein levels in both cell lines. Exposure to increasing concentrations of DFO did not significantly alter DAT mRNA in either PC12 or N2A cells. However, DAT degradation rates increased three–fivefold in both cell types exposed to 50 µmDFO for 24 h. Biotinylation studies in N2A cells indicate a more dramatic loss of DAT in the membrane fraction, while OptiPrep fractionation experiments revealed an increase in lysosomal DAT with iron chelation. Inhibition of protein kinase C activation with staurosporin prevented the effect of iron chelation on DAT function, suggesting thatin vitroiron chelation affects DAT primarily through the effects on trafficking rather than on synthesis.
