Expression of the duodenal iron transporters divalent-metal transporter 1 and ferroportin 1 in iron deficiency and iron overload

Abstract

Imbalances of iron homeostasis are accompanied by alterations of intestinal iron absorption. The identification of divalent-metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and ferroportin 1 (FP1) has improved our understanding of transmembrane iron trafficking. To gain insight into the regulatory properties of these transporters in the duodenum, we studied their expression in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE-associated and non-HFE-associated), secondary iron overload, and iron deficiency. DMT1, FP1 messenger RNA (mRNA), and protein expression were analyzed in duodenal biopsy specimens from patients by means of TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting technique, and immunohistochemistry. DMT1 and FP1 mRNA levels are positively correlated with each other in all patient groups (P < 0.001). Moreover, DMT1 and FP1 mRNA levels were significantly increased in patients with iron deficiency, HFE and non-HFE hemochromatosis, whereas they were unchanged in patients with secondary iron overload. Alterations in DMT1 and FP1 mRNA levels were paralleled by comparable changes in the duodenal expression of these proteins. In patients with normal iron status or iron deficiency, significant negative correlations between DMT1, FP1 mRNA...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.
