Ferroportin expression in haem oxygenase 1-deficient mice.
HO1 (haem oxygenase 1) and Fpn (ferroportin) are key proteins for iron recycling from senescent red blood cells and therefore play a major role in controlling the bioavailability of iron for erythropoiesis. Although important aspects of iron metabolism in HO1-deficient (Hmox1-/-) mice have already been revealed, little is known about the regulation of Fpn expression and its role in HO1 deficien...
متن کاملCopper-induced ferroportin-1 expression in J774 macrophages is associated with increased iron efflux.
Copper is known to play a role in iron recycling from macrophages. To examine whether cellular copper status affects expression of the iron exporter ferroportin-1 (FPN1), J774 macrophage cells were exposed to 10-100 microM CuSO(4) for up to 20 h. Copper treatment significantly increased FPN1 mRNA in a dose- and time-dependent manner. After 20 h, 100 microM CuSO(4) up-regulated FPN1 transcript l...
متن کاملCongestive heart failure in copper-deficient mice.
Copper Deficiency (CuD) leads to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in various experimental models. The morphological, electrophysiological, and molecular aspects of this hypertrophy have been under investigation for a long time. However the transition from compensated hypertrophy to decompensated heart failure has not been investigated in the study of CuD. We set out to investigate the contractile an...
متن کاملBrain and retinal ferroportin 1 dysregulation in polycythaemia mice.
Disruption of iron homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to profound abnormalities during both development and aging in mammals. The radiation-induced polycythaemia (Pcm) mutation, a 58-bp microdeletion in the promoter region of ferroportin 1 (Fpn1), disrupts transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of this pivotal iron transporter. This regulatory mutation ind...
متن کاملAlterations in lymphocyte subpopulations in copper-deficient mice.
Analyses of cell surface determinants of splenocytes from copper-deficient C58 mice indicate alterations in lymphocyte subpopulation characteristics. Both the absolute number and the relative percentage of surface immunoglobulin-bearing (B) cells from copper-deficient mice were significantly greater than those from copper-supplemented controls. The relative percentage of Thy 1.2-positive (T) ce...
