Abstract

The toxicity of tetrasodium-ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Na-EDTA) was investigated in normal rat kidney cells (NRK-52E, American Type Culture Collection) in culture. Cell death and reduced colony-forming ability were observed at Na-EDTA concentrations < 100 microM, that is at concentrations lower than that required to chelate all the Ca2+ in the growth medium. No toxicity was observed when cells were exposed to 100 microM Zn- or Fe-EDTA, but the same concentration of Cu-EDTA was as toxic as Na-EDTA. Continuous exposure of the cell cultures to 5 microM Na- or Zn-EDTA for up to 7 weeks yielded no indications of toxicity.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
