Heme oxygenase-1 deficiency alters erythroblastic island formation, steady-state erythropoiesis and red blood cell lifespan in mice.
Heme oxygenase-1 is critical for iron recycling during red blood cell turnover, whereas its impact on steady-state erythropoiesis and red blood cell lifespan is not known. We show here that in 8- to 14-week old mice, heme oxygenase-1 deficiency adversely affects steady-state erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. This is manifested by a decrease in Ter-119(+)-erythroid cells, abnormal adhesion mole...
متن کاملMacrophages and iron trafficking at the birth and death of red cells.
Macrophages play a critical role in iron homeostasis via their intimate association with developing and dying red cells. Central nurse macrophages promote erythropoiesis in the erythroblastic island niche. These macrophages make physical contact with erythroblasts, enabling signaling and the transfer of growth factors and possibly nutrients to the cells in their care. Human mature red cells hav...
متن کاملA heme export protein is required for red blood cell differentiation and iron homeostasis.
Hemoproteins are critical for the function and integrity of aerobic cells. However, free heme is toxic. Therefore, cells must balance heme synthesis with its use. We previously demonstrated that the feline leukemia virus, subgroup C, receptor (FLVCR) exports cytoplasmic heme. Here, we show that FLVCR-null mice lack definitive erythropoiesis, have craniofacial and limb deformities resembling tho...
متن کاملHaemolytic anaemia and alterations in hepatic iron metabolism in aged mice lacking Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase.
The continuous recycling of haem iron following phagocytosis and catabolism of senescent and damaged red blood cells by macrophages is a crucial process in the maintenance of systemic iron homoeostasis. However, little is known about macrophage iron handling in haemolytic states resulting from a deficiency in antioxidant defences. Our observations indicate that the recently described chronic, b...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Model of Erythropoiesis in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Kidneys are the main site of production of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) that is the major regulator of erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. EPO level is normally controlled by a negative feedback mechanism in the kidneys, but patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) do not produce sufficient levels of EPO to maintain blood hemoglobin concentration. In order to prevent anemia, pat...
