Abstract
The distribution of copper (Cu) in the biological system is regulated by Cu transporters and chaperones. It has been known for a long time that myocardial ischemia is accompanied by the loss of Cu from the heart, but the mechanism by which this occurs remains unknown. The present study was undertaken to understand the relationship between Cu loss and alterations in Cu transporters during the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia. Male mice (C57 BL/6J) were subjected to left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery ligation to induce myocardial ischemia. Changes in Cu concentrations in serum and hearts were determined from blood and tissue samples harvested at different time points for a total of 28 days after the operation. Cu concentrations in the ischemic myocardium were continuously decreased starting at the fourth day after LAD artery ligation, gradually depleted by more than 80% of the normal level at the 10th day, and remained at the lowest level (about 20% of normal levels) thereafter. Serum Cu concentrations were correspondingly increased starting at the fourth day, reached to the highest level between day 7 and 10, and gradually recovered to the normal level until 21st day after the operation. Along with the same time course, the intracellular Cu exporter copper metabolism MURR domain 1 (COMMD1) was significantly and sustainably increased, but ATP7A and ATP7B were not significantly changed in the ischemic myocardium. These results suggest that during the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia, COMMD1 would play a critical role in exporting Cu from the ischemic myocardium to the blood. Impact statement In this work, we found that copper efflux from the ischemic heart leads to the elevation of serum copper concentrations, addressing a long-term question related to serum copper elevation in myocardial ischemia patients. The efflux of copper from the ischemic heart results at least in part from the upregulation of copper metabolism MURR domain 1 (COMMD1) in the heart upon ischemic insult. This work provides a novel insight into copper homeostasis and alteration in cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The current paradigm in the field of mammalian iron biology states that body iron levels are determined by dietary iron absorption, not by iron excretion. Iron absorption is a highly regulated process influenced by iron levels and other factors. Iron excretion is believed to occur at a basal rate irrespective of iron levels and is associated with processes such as turnover of intestinal epithelium, blood loss, and exfoliation of dead skin. Here we explore iron excretion in a mouse model of iron excess due to inherited transferrin deficiency. Iron excess in this model is attributed to impaired regulation of iron absorption leading to excessive dietary iron uptake. Pharmacological correction of transferrin deficiency not only normalized iron absorption rates and halted progression of iron excess but also reversed body iron excess. Transferrin treatment did not alter the half-life of 59Fe in mutant mice. 59Fe-based studies indicated that most iron was excreted via the gastrointestinal tract and suggested that iron-loaded mutant mice had increased rates of iron excretion. Direct measurement of urinary iron levels agreed with 59Fe-based predictions that urinary iron levels were increased in untreated mutant mice. Fecal ferritin levels were also increased in mutant mice relative to wild-type mice. Overall, these data suggest that mice have a significant capacity for iron excretion. We propose that further investigation into iron excretion is warranted in this and other models of perturbed iron homeostasis, as pharmacological targeting of iron excretion may represent a novel means of treatment for diseases of iron excess.

Abstract
The most prominent ezrin-radixin-moesin protein in hepatocytes is radixin, which is localized primarily at the canalicular microvilli and appears to be important in regulation of cell polarity and in localizing the multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp-2) function. Our aim was to investigate how hypoxia affects radixin distribution and Mrp-2 function. We created wild-type and mutant constructs (in adenoviral vectors), which were expressed in WIF-B cells. The cellular distribution of Mrp-2 and radixin was visualized by fluorescence microscopy, and a 5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate (CMFDA) assay was used to measure Mrp-2 function. Under usual conditions, cells infected with wild-type radixin, nonphosphorylatable radixin-T564A, and radixin-T564D (active phospho-mimicking mutant) were found to be heavily expressed in canalicular membrane compartment vacuoles, typically colocalizing with Mrp-2. In contrast, after hypoxia for 24 h, both endogenous and overexpressed wild-type radixin and the radixin-T564A mutant were found to be translocated to the cytoplasmic space. However, distribution of the radixin-T564D mutant, which mimics constant phosphorylation, was remarkably different, being associated with canalicular membranes even in hypoxic conditions. This dominant-active construct also prevented dissociation of radixin from the plasma membrane. Hypoxia also led to Mrp-2 mislocalization and caused Mrp-2 to be dissociated from radixin; the radixin phospho-mimicking mutant (T564D) abrogated this effect of hypoxia. Finally, hypoxia diminished the secretory response (measured using the CMFDA assay) in WIF-B cells, and the dominant-active construct (radixin-T567D) rescued this phenotype. Taken collectively, these findings suggest that radixin regulates Mrp-2 localization and function in hepatocytes and is important in hypoxic liver injury.

Abstract
We report Cu, Fe, and Zn natural isotope compositions in organs, body fluids, diets and feces of mice and sheep. Large and systematic isotope variability is observed, notably in the δ(66)Zn in liver and δ(65)Cu in kidneys, but significant differences exist between mice, sheep and humans, especially in the δ(66)Zn value of blood. The results are interpreted with reference to current knowledge of metal trafficking and redox conditions in cells. In general, the light isotopes preferentially fractionate into 'softer' bonds involving sulfur such as cysteine and glutathione, whereas heavy isotopes fractionate into 'harder' bonds involving nitrogen (histidine) and even more oxygen, notably hydroxides, phosphates, and carbonates. Bonds involving the reduced forms Cu(+) and Fe(2+) are enriched in the light isotopes relative to bonds involving the oxidized Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) forms. Differences in blood Zn isotope abundances between mice, sheep and humans may reflect a different prevalence of Zn ZIP transporters. The isotopically heavy Cu in the kidneys may reflect isotope fractionation during redox processes and may be relevant to ascorbate degradation into oxalate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ATP7A, ATP7B and CTR1 are metal transporting proteins that control the cellular disposition of copper and platinum drugs, but their expression in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue and their role in platinum-induced neurotoxicity are unknown. To investigate the DRG expression of ATP7A, ATP7B and CTR1, lumbar DRG and reference tissues were collected for real time quantitative PCR, RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis from healthy control adult rats or from animals treated with intraperitoneal oxaliplatin (1.85 mg/kg) or drug vehicle twice weekly for 8 weeks. RESULTS In DRG tissue from healthy control animals, ATP7A mRNA was clearly detectable at levels similar to those found in the brain and spinal cord, and intense ATP7A immunoreactivity was localised to the cytoplasm of cell bodies of smaller DRG neurons without staining of satellite cells, nerve fibres or co-localisation with phosphorylated heavy neurofilament subunit (pNF-H). High levels of CTR1 mRNA were detected in all tissues from healthy control animals, and strong CTR1 immunoreactivity was associated with plasma membranes and vesicular cytoplasmic structures of the cell bodies of larger-sized DRG neurons without co-localization with ATP7A. DRG neurons with strong expression of ATP7A or CTR1 had distinct cell body size profiles with minimal overlap between them. Oxaliplatin treatment did not alter the size profile of strongly ATP7A-immunoreactive neurons but significantly reduced the size profile of strongly CTR1-immunoreactive neurons. ATP7B mRNA was barely detectable, and no specific immunoreactivity for ATP7B was found, in DRG tissue from healthy control animals. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, adult rat DRG tissue exhibits a specific pattern of expression of copper transporters with distinct subsets of peripheral sensory neurons intensely expressing either ATP7A or CTR1, but not both or ATP7B. The neuron subtype-specific and largely non-overlapping distribution of ATP7A and CTR1 within rat DRG tissue may be required to support the potentially differing cuproenzyme requirements of distinct subsets of sensory neurons, and could influence the transport and neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin.
