Abstract

In order to understand better the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of anaemia of inflammation, we carried out a time-course study on the effects of turpentine-induced acute and chronic inflammation on duodenal proteins involved in Fe absorption in mice. Expression levels of these proteins and hepatic hepcidin and serum Fe levels were determined in inflamed mice. In acutely inflamed mice, significantly increased expression of ferritin was the earliest change observed, followed by decreased divalent metal transporter 1 expression in the duodenum and increased hepcidin expression in the liver. Ferroportin expression increased subsequently, despite high levels of hepcidin. Hypoferraemia, which developed at early time periods studied, was followed by increased serum Fe levels at later points. The present results thus show that acute inflammation induced several changes in the expression of proteins involved in duodenal Fe absorption, contributing to the development of hypoferraemia. Resolution of inflammation caused attenuation of many of these effects. Effects in chronically inflamed mice were less consistent. The present results also suggest that inflammation-induced increases in ferritin appeared to override the ...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
