The dynamics of hepcidin‐ferroportin internalization and consequences of a novel ferroportin disease mutation [PDF]
AbstractThe hepcidin‐ferroportin axis underlies the pathophysiology of many iron‐associated disorders and is a key target for the development of therapeutics for treating iron‐associated disorders. The aims of this study were to investigate the dynamics of hepcidin‐mediated ferroportin internalization and the consequences of a novel disease‐causing ...

Background Expression of the iron exporter ferroportin at the plasma membrane of macrophages is enhanced by iron loading and is decreased by hepcidin. We previously showed that ferroportin is present in specific cell surface domains suggestive of lipid ...

Deubiquitinase USP35 modulates ferroptosis in lung cancer via targeting ferroportin
Background Ferroptosis is essential to regulate tumor growth and serves as a promising therapeutic target to lung cancer. Ubiquitin‐specific protease 35 (USP35) belongs to the deubiquitinases family that is associated with cell proliferation and mitosis.

Background and Aims: Hepatic iron overload always leads to oxidative stress, which has been found to be involved in the progression of liver disease. However, whether iron disorder is involved in acute liver disease and the further molecular mechanisms ...

Hepcidin-Ferroportin Interaction Controls Systemic Iron Homeostasis [PDF]
Despite its abundance in the environment, iron is poorly bioavailable and subject to strict conservation and internal recycling by most organisms. In vertebrates, the stability of iron concentration in plasma and extracellular fluid, and the total body iron content are maintained by the interaction of the iron-regulatory peptide hormone hepcidin with ...

Identification of Antibody and Small Molecule Antagonists of Ferroportin-Hepcidin Interaction
The iron exporter ferroportin and its ligand, the hormone hepcidin, control fluxes of stored and recycled iron for use in a variety of essential biochemical processes. Inflammatory disorders and malignancies are often associated with high hepcidin levels,

Hepcidin and iron homeostasis during pregnancy. [PDF]
Hepcidin is the master regulator of systemic iron bioavailability in humans. This review examines primary research articles that assessed hepcidin during pregnancy and postpartum and report its relationship to maternal and infant iron status and birth ...

Background Macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system play a key role in recycling iron from hemoglobin of senescent or damaged erythrocytes. Heme oxygenase 1 degrades the heme moiety and releases inorganic iron that is stored in ferritin or exported ...

The Role of Copper in the Regulation of Ferroportin Expression in Macrophages
The critical function of ferroportin (Fpn) in maintaining iron homeostasis requires complex and multilevel control of its expression. Besides iron-dependent cellular and systemic control of Fpn expression, other metals also seem to be involved in ...

Transition metal ions at the crossroads of mucosal immunity and microbial pathogenesis. [PDF]
Transition metal ions are essential micronutrients for all living organisms. In mammals, these ions are often protein-bound and sequestered within cells, limiting their availability to microbes. Moreover, in response to infection, mammalian hosts further
