Copper is an essential dietary trace metal, however the mechanisms involved in intestinal copper uptake are unclear. Two putative copper transporters are expressed in Caco-2 cells, the divalent metal transporter (DMT1) and copper transporter (Ctr1). Our data demonstrate that copper could compete with iron for uptake via DMT1 and that DMT1 protein and mRNA expression were decreased following exposure (24 h) to high copper. Expression of Ctr1, which acts as a copper transporter in transfected cell lines, was unaffected by copper treatment. Interestingly, exposure to copper increased iron efflux from Caco-2 cells and up regulated IREG1 (iron-regulated mRNA) expression.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D018938 Caco-2 Cells Human colonic ADENOCARCINOMA cells that are able to express differentiation features characteristic of mature intestinal cells, such as ENTEROCYTES. These cells are valuable in vitro tools for studies related to intestinal cell function and differentiation. Caco 2 Cells,Caco-2 Cell,Cell, Caco-2,Cells, Caco-2
D020218 Response Elements Nucleotide sequences, usually upstream, which are recognized by specific regulatory transcription factors, thereby causing gene response to various regulatory agents. These elements may be found in both promoter and enhancer regions. Element, Response,Elements, Response,Response Element
