Iron overload

Medicina Universitaria, 2015
The normal iron content of the body is 3---4 g. It exists in hemoglobin, in iron-containing proteins different to hemoglobin, in iron bound to transferrin in plasma, and in the form of ferritin and hemosiderin. There is approximately 1 g of storage iron, mostly in liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

Organic AIE Nanoradiosensitizer Potentiates X‐Ray Triggered Continuous Reactive Oxygen Species Generation for Potent Cancer Radioimmunotherapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, a glutathione‐responsive system (named THN) is prepared for X‐ray‐triggered sustained ROS generation for efficient antitumor immunotherapy. The double‐promoting ROS generation of THN induced massive immunogenic cancer cell death and polarized M2 macrophages into the M1 phenotype for enhanced antitumor immunotherapy.

Nicotinamide N‐methyltransferase expression decreases in iron overload, exacerbating toxicity in mouse hepatocytes

Hepatology Communications, 2017
Iron overload causes the generation of reactive oxygen species that can lead to lasting damage to the liver and other organs. The goal of this study was to identify genes that modify the toxicity of iron overload.

Iron overload impairs normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells through reactive oxygen species and shortens survival in myelodysplastic syndrome mice

Haematologica, 2018
There is increasing clinical evidence to suggest a suppressive effect on hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndrome patients with iron overload. However, how iron overload influences hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) remains unknown.

Secondary Iron Overload

Hematology, 2001
Abstract Transfusion therapy for inherited anemias and acquired refractory anemias both improves the quality of life and prolongs survival. A consequence of chronic transfusion therapy is secondary iron overload, which adversely affects the function of the heart, the liver and other organs.

Elevated Histone Lactylation Mediates Ferroptosis Resistance in Endometriosis Through the METTL3‐Regulated HIF1A/HMOX1 Signaling Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that histone lactylation, a modification derived from lactate, plays a crucial role in ferroptosis resistance in ectopic endometrial stromal cells. This resistance is mediated via the HIF1A/HMOX1 pathway regulated by METTL3. In vivo, a combination of 2‐DG and erastin shows promise as an effective treatment for endometriosis ...

The impact of magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of iron overload in heart and liver in transfusion-dependent thalassemic children: Minia experience

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2021
Background Thalassemia is the most prevalent single-gene disorder. Myocardial and hepatic iron depositions lead to complications and eventually death. We aimed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging T2* (MRI T2*) in quantifying ...
