The zebrafish mutant gene chardonnay encodes Divalent Metal Transporter1 (DMT1)
Iron is an essential nutrient required for the function of all cells, most notably for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Defects in the mechanisms of iron absorption, storage and/or utilization can lead to disorders of iron-limited erythropoiesis or iron overload. In an effort to further understand these processes we have employed the zebrafish as a genetic system to study verteb...
متن کاملDivalent metal transporter, DMT1: a novel MRI reporter protein.
Manganese (Mn)-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) has found a growing number of applications in anatomical and functional imaging in small animals, based on the cellular uptake of Mn ions in the brain, heart, and other organs. Previous studies have relied on endogenous mechanisms of paramagnetic Mn ion uptake and enhancement. To genetically control MEMRI signals, we reverse engineered a major component of th...
متن کامل[Structural elements of critical thinking of nurses in emergency care].
The objective of this study was to analyze the structural elements of critical thinking (CT) of nurses in the clinical decision-making process. This exploratory, qualitative study was conducted with 20 emergency care nurses in three hospitals in southern Brazil. Data were collected from April to June 2009, and a validated clinical case was applied from which nurses listed health problems, presc...
متن کاملDivalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) contributes to neurodegeneration in animal models of Parkinson's disease.
Dopaminergic cell death in the substantia nigra (SN) is central to Parkinson's disease (PD), but the neurodegenerative mechanisms have not been completely elucidated. Iron accumulation in dopaminergic and glial cells in the SN of PD patients may contribute to the generation of oxidative stress, protein aggregation, and neuronal death. The mechanisms involved in iron accumulation also remain unc...
متن کاملDivalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) regulation by Ndfip1 prevents metal toxicity in human neurons.
The regulation of metal ion transport within neurons is critical for normal brain function. Of particular importance is the regulation of redox metals such as iron (Fe), where excess levels can contribute to oxidative stress and protein aggregation, leading to neuronal death. The divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) plays a central role in the regulation of Fe as well as other metals; hence, fai...
