Hepcidin in neoplastic disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abnormalities in iron metabolism are frequent in the neoplastic disease. The relationship between hepcidin and iron homeostasis in cancerous pathology is incompletely known, although it has been studied during the last years. This paper aims to analyze the role of hepcidin in the neoplastic processes, its correlation with carcinogenesis and anemia, and with the disease activity. It must be mentioned that most of the aspects presented need to be verified in practice. Insufficient data are known for showing hepcidin involvement in carcinogenesis, metastasis or in appreciating the response to anemia treatment in neoplasia.

Background and Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease is a common inflammatory arthritis associated with joint destruction, motor disorder, and decreased life span. Hepcidin is an acute phase reactant protein which increases in inflammatory conditions mediated by IL-6 and its concentration elevates within the cell through regulating iron metabolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate ...
متن کاملA novel treatment of anemia of inflammation.
In this issue of Blood, van Eijk et al investigate a synthetic compound that inhibits the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin to fight anemia of inflammation in human endotoxemia. Anemia is one of the major public health burdens. TheWorldHealth Organization estimates the prevalence of anemia at 2 billion people worldwide. Prevalence of anemia in 2010 was estimated at 32.9% in a systemic analysis o...

Background and Objective: Hepcidin is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver, which inhibits the proliferation of pathogens by increasing iron sequestration in macrophages and decreasing iron absorption. Although several studies have been performed on the role of hepcidin, data on its role in brucellosis are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare the serum level of hepcidin in patie...
متن کاملInhibition of bone morphogenetic protein signaling attenuates anemia associated with inflammation.
Anemia of inflammation develops in settings of chronic inflammatory, infectious, or neoplastic disease. In this highly prevalent form of anemia, inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, stimulate hepatic expression of hepcidin, which negatively regulates iron bioavailability by inactivating ferroportin. Hepcidin is transcriptionally regulated by IL-6 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalin...

Hepcidin is an innate immune element which decreases the iron absorption from diet and iron releasing from macrophage cell. In contrast to the chemical iron chelators, there has been limited effort applied to the specific use of hepcidin as a new drug for decreasing the iron overload. Hepcidin is produced in different biological systems. For instance, E-coli is used for human hepcidin expressio...
