We studied the effects of the tartrazine-metabolite Sulfanilic acid (cas 121-57-3) on the physiology of pancreatic AR42J cells. Sulfanilic acid (1 μM-1 mM) induced a slow and progressive increase in intracellular free-calcium concentration that reached a plateau. The effect of sulfanilic acid was not concentration-dependent. Stimulation of cells with thapsigargin (1 μM) after treatment with sulfanilic acid (1 mM) induced a smaller Ca2+ response compared with that obtained with thapsigargin alone. Sulfanilic acid induced a concentration-dependent production of reactive oxygen species; however, this effect was not Ca2+-dependent. Depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential was observed at the concentration of 1 mM sulfanilic acid. In the presence of the compound a decrease in the GSH/GSSG ratio was observed. A decrease in the expression of superoxide dismutase 2 was noted. Finally, stimulation of cells with CCK-8 led to a concentration-dependent increase of trypsin secretion that was impaired by pretreatment of cells with sulfanilic acid. Preincubation of cells with the antioxidant melatonin (100 μM) reduced the effect of sulfanilic acid on trypsin secretion. We conclude that sulfanilic acid might induce oxidative stress, which could alter Ca2+ signaling and enzyme secretion in pancreatic AR42J cells. This creates a situation potentially leading to damage of the exocrine pancreas.
