Iron homeostasis and oxidative stress: An intimate relationship

TL;DR: This review focuses on the intimate relationship between iron metabolism and oxidative stress in health and disease, and discusses aspects of redox- and iron-mediated signaling, toxicity, ferroptotic cell death, homeostatic pathways and pathophysiological implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The multifaceted role of iron in renal health and disease.

TL;DR: Targeting mechanisms of local and systemic iron homeostasis may provide novel therapies for kidney disease and its complications, including anaemia; however, such approaches will require close monitoring of iron balance and potential adverse effects.

First phenotypic description of transferrin receptor 2 knockout mouse, and the role of hepcidin

TL;DR: In this paper, the expression of iron related molecules in the liver, duodenum, and spleen of homozygous TfR2-KO, heterozygous, and wild-type mice were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferritin drug carrier (FDC) for tumor targeting therapy.

TL;DR: Compared with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), ferritin exhibits superiority in a range of attributes, including drug loading ability, thermostability, and ease of production, and the emergence of FDCs may be the next step in targeted cancer therapy.

Hepcidin Regulates Cellular Iron Efflux by Binding to Ferroportin and Inducing Its Internalization

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.

A novel MHC class-I-like gene is mutated in patients with hereditary haemochromatosis

John N. Feder
- 01 Jan 1996 - 
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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Mouse Liver-specific Gene, Encoding a Protein Homologous to Human Antimicrobial Peptide Hepcidin, Is Overexpressed during Iron Overload

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that the product of the new liver-specific gene HEPC might play a specific role during iron overload and exhibit additional functions distinct from its antimicrobial activity.
