Suppression of hepcidin during anemia requires erythropoietic activity Running Title: Hepcidin suppression by erythropoiesis

چکیده
Hepcidin, the principal iron regulatory hormone, regulates the absorption of iron from the diet and the mobilization of iron from stores. Previous studies indicated that hepcidin is suppressed during anemia, a response that would appropriately increase the absorption of iron and its release from stores. Indeed, in the mouse model, hepcidin-1 was suppressed after phlebotomy or erythropoietin administration but the suppression was reversed by inhibitors of erythropoiesis. The suppression of hepcidin necessary to match iron supply to erythropoietic demand thus requires increased erythropoiesis and is not directly mediated by anemia, tissue hypoxia or erythropoietin.

متن کاملHepcidin mRNA levels in mouse liver respond to inhibition of erythropoiesis.
Hepcidin, a key regulator of iron metabolism, decreases intestinal absorption of iron and its release from macrophages. Iron, anemia, hypoxia, and inflammation were reported to influence hepcidin expression. To investigate regulation of the expression of hepcidin and other iron-related genes, we manipulated erythropoietic activity in mice. Erythropoiesis was inhibited by irradiation or posttran...
متن کاملSuppression of plasma hepcidin by venesection during steady-state hypoxia.
Hepcidin inhibits iron uptake from the gut and release of iron from macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system. Suppression of plasma hepcidin occurs in lowlanders after ascent to high altitude, reflecting the increased iron demand for erythropoiesis, but the mechanism and primary stimulus for hepcidin suppression in this setting remains unclear. It has been suggested that hypoxia per se, po...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible factor regulates hepcidin via erythropoietin-induced erythropoiesis.
Iron demand in bone marrow increases when erythropoiesis is stimulated by hypoxia via increased erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis in kidney and liver. Hepcidin, a small polypeptide produced by hepatocytes, plays a central role in regulating iron uptake by promoting internalization and degradation of ferroportin, the only known cellular iron exporter. Hypoxia suppresses hepcidin, thereby enhancing ...
متن کاملComment on "Intestinal inflammation modulates expression of the iron-regulating hormone hepcidin depending on erythropoietic activity and the commensal microbiota".
States of chronic inflammation such as inflammatory bowel disease are often associated with dysregulated iron metabolism and the consequent development of an anemia that is caused by maldistribution of iron. Abnormally elevated expression of the hormone hepcidin, the central regulator of systemic iron homeostasis, has been implicated in these abnormalities. However, the mechanisms that regulate...
