| Abstract | Zinc status is difficult to evaluate in humans. Metallothionein gene expression is transcriptionally regulated by dietary zinc and thus could serve as an assessment parameter based on zinc-dependent function. We used semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to establish that MT mRNA is increased in a human monocytic cell line by addition of zinc to the medium. To examine this response in human subjects, a dietary supplement of 50 mg zinc gluconate/d was given for 15 d. Monocytes were purified from venous blood using NycoPrep 1.068. Monocyte purity was determined by flow cytometry using fluorescent anti-human monocyte CD14 antibodies. Total monocyte RNA was extracted and converted to cDNA by reverse transcription. Competitive RT-PCR was used to analyze differences between cDNA levels that are proportional to MT mRNA levels in monocytes from zinc-supplemented and control subjects. RT-PCR oligonucleotide primers were designed to amplify both a 201 bp segment of the human MT cDNA and a 180 bp competitor cDNA template. The 180 bp competitor cDNA template was used for MT cDNA quantitation. The RT-PCR data show that there was a significant increase in monocyte MT mRNA in subjects within 6 d of zinc supplementation, which remained elevated at d 15 of supplementation. In contrast, plasma zinc was greater at d 6 of zinc supplementation, but by d 15 of supplementation, while still elevated, was close to control levels. These data suggest that monocyte MT mRNA levels respond to zinc supplementation and that the response could serve as a more useful assessment variable than plasma zinc for the measurement of zinc status in humans. |
