Delivery of drugs, proteins and genes into cells using transferrin as a ligand for receptor-mediated endocytosis [PDF]

, 1994
Transferrin, an iron-transporting serum glycoprotein, is efficiently taken up into cells by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Transferrin receptors are found on the surface of most proliferating cells, in elevated numbers on erythroblasts and

Gene transfer to respiratory epithelial cells via the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway [PDF]

, 1992
Gene-based therapies for a variety of inherited and acquired pulmonary diseases will require the development of vectors capable of safe and efficient transfer of DNA to the respiratory epithelium.

Novel genetic variants of transferrin receptor 2 exon 4 and cytokines profile of anemic and nonanemic pregnant women in Central Java, Indonesia

Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction, 2020
Objective: To assess the association between genetic variants of transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2) exon 4 and anemia status and to describe the expression levels of several cytokines, hepcidin, soluble transferrin receptor and erythropoietin.

TRANSFERRIN RECEPTOR EXPRESSION IN ORAL TUMORS [PDF]

, 1991
Transferrin receptor expression in oral tumors was examined by staining with monoclonal antibody against the human transferrin receptor. The cells with positive reaction were recognized in the basal and parabasal layers of the normal epithelium.

Iron metabolism and its association with dyslipidemia risk in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019
Background Information on the association between iron metabolism and dyslipidaemia in children is limited. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the iron metabolic status of children with different body mass index (BMI) and to examine the association ...

DNA-binding transferrin conjugates as functional gene-delivery agents: synthesis by linkage of polylysine or ethidium homodimer to the transferrin carbohydrate moiety [PDF]

, 1991
We have previously demonstrated that transferrin-polycation conjugates are efficient carrier molecules for the introduction of genes into eucariotic cells.

Serum hepcidin as a diagnostic test of iron deficiency in premenopausal female blood donors

Haematologica, 2011
Background Currently used indicators of iron status have limitations. Hepcidin, a key regulator of iron metabolism, is reduced in iron deficiency. We sought to determine the properties of hepcidin as a diagnostic test of iron deficiency.Design and ...

Association Between Iron Status and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease in Chinese Adults

Frontiers in Medicine, 2020
Background: Even though it is well-known that iron deficiency is the result of chronic kidney disease (CKD), whether iron will affect kidney function and disease in the general population is not clear. We thus conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study
