Global quantification of mammalian gene expression control
Björn Schwanhäusser,Dorothea Busse,Na Li,Gunnar Dittmar,Johannes Schuchhardt,Jana Wolf,Wei Chen,Matthias Selbach +7 more
TL;DR: Using a quantitative model, the first genome-scale prediction of synthesis rates of mRNAs and proteins is obtained and it is found that the cellular abundance of proteins is predominantly controlled at the level of translation.

Hepcidin Regulates Cellular Iron Efflux by Binding to Ferroportin and Inducing Its Internalization
Elizabeta Nemeth,Marie S. Tuttle,Julie Powelson,Michael B. Vaughn,Adriana Donovan,Diane M. Ward,Tomas Ganz,Jerry Kaplan +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that hepcidin bound to ferroportin in tissue culture cells, leading to decreased export of cellular iron and the posttranslational regulation of ferroports by hePCidin may complete a homeostatic loop.

TL;DR: A population genomic survey has revealed a functionally important locus in genetic adaptation to high altitude, and the strongest signal of natural selection came from endothelial Per-Arnt-Sim domain protein 1 (EPAS1), a transcription factor involved in response to hypoxia.

TL;DR: Intestine-specific inactivation of ferroportin confirmed that it is critical for intestinal iron absorption and gave insight into hemochromatosis.

TL;DR: Using linkage-disequilibrium and full haplotype analysis, this paper identified a 250-kilobase region more than 3 megabases telomeric of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that is identical-by-descent in 85% of patient chromosomes.

A novel MHC class-I-like gene is mutated in patients with hereditary haemochromatosis
TL;DR: Using linkage–disequilibrium and full haplotype analysis, a region more than 3 megabases telomeric of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that is identical–by–descent in 85% of patient chromosomes is identified, containing a gene related to the MHC class I family, termed HLA–H, containing two missense alterations.

TL;DR: A new metal-ion transporter in the rat, DCT1, which has an unusually broad substrate range that includes Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+.

IL-6 mediates hypoferremia of inflammation by inducing the synthesis of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin
Elizabeta Nemeth,Seth Rivera,Victoria Gabayan,Charlotte Keller,Sarah Taudorf,Bente Klarlund Pedersen,Tomas Ganz +6 more
TL;DR: These studies in human liver cell cultures, mice, and human volunteers indicate that IL-6 is the necessary and sufficient cytokine for the induction of hepcidin during inflammation and that the IL- 6-hepcid in axis is responsible for the hypoferremia of inflammation.

Hepcidin, a Urinary Antimicrobial Peptide Synthesized in the Liver *
TL;DR: Hepcidin may be a vertebrate counterpart of cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides produced in the fat body of insects and exhibited antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and As pergillus nigerand antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli.
