Summary, etc. Glutathione has been implicated to function in cytoprotection against cadmium toxicity. The mechanism by which glutathione plays this role has not been well understood. Because glutathione is an important antioxidant and several studies have shown that cadmium induces oxidative stress, this study was undertaken to determine whether development of cadmium resistance is linked to enhanced antioxidant activities. A cadmium-resistant subpopulation of human lung carcinoma A549 cells, which was developed by repeatedly exposing the cells to step-wise increased cadmium concentrations, was compared to a cadmium-sensitive one. The acquired cadmium resistance resulted from neither decreased cadmium uptake nor enhanced cellular metallothionein synthesis. Glutathione content, however, was markedly elevated in the cadmium-resistant cells. In contrast, the activities of the glutathione redox cycle related enzymes, glutathione peroxidase and reductase, were unchanged. Two other antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and catalase, were also not altered. The results suggest that the development of cadmium resistance in A549 cells unlikely results from enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities, although it is associated with elevated cellular glutathione levels. In addition, measurement of the mRNA and DNA levels for gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, the rate-limiting enzyme for glutathione biosynthesis, revealed that enhanced expression of the enzyme but not gene amplification is likely responsible for the elevation of cellular glutathione levels.
