Sustained Hydrogen Peroxide Induces Iron Uptake by Transferrin Receptor-1 Independent of the Iron Regulatory Protein/Iron-responsive Element Network
Bill Andriopoulos,Stephan Hegedüsch,Julia Mangin,Hans Dieter Riedel,Ulrike Hebling,Jian Wang,Kostas Pantopoulos,Kostas Pantopoulos,Sebastian Mueller,Sebastian Mueller +9 more
TL;DR: Exposure of cultured cells to sustained low levels of H2O2 that mimic its release by inflammatory cells leads to up-regulation of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), the major iron uptake protein, which results in increased transferrin-mediated iron uptake and cellular accumulation of the metal.
