Project description:Matriptase-2 (Tmprss6), a recently described member of the TTSP family, is an essential regulator of iron homeostasis. Tmprss6-/- mice display an overt phenotype of alopecia and a severe iron deficiency anemia. These hematological alterations found in Tmprss6-/- mice are accompanied by a marked up-regulation of hepcidin, a negative regulator of iron export into plasma. Experiment Overall Design: Tmprss6-deficient mice were generated by gene targeting. Total RNA was extracted from liver samples from control and Tmprss6-deficient male mice after o/n fasting. Transcriptional profiling was analyzed using GeneChip Mouse 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:Tmprss6 is the master inhibitor of hepcidin and its inactivation causes iron refractory iron deficiency anemia both in human and in mice. Mice with iron deficiency anemia (IDA)-low hepcidin show a pro-inflammatory response that is blunted in iron deficienct-high hepcidin Tmprss6 null mice. We investigated the transcriptional response associated with chronic hepcidin overexpression by comparing whole genome transcription profiling of the liver of Tmprss6 KO mice and IDA animals, irrespective of iron deficiency.

Project description:TMPRSS6 is a type II transmembrane serine protease and is revealed by our work to be part of a low-iron sensing pathway. When animal gets iron deficient, TMPRSS6 is required to shut off hepcidin gene, so as to allow iron to be uptaken from GI tract. The mutant mouse, which was generated by ENU mutagenesis, has developed microcytic anemia. The phenotype is caused by a splicing error in Tmprss6 gene. However, the mechanism of TMPRSS6 effect remains elusive. To gain further insight into the molecular components of the TMPRSS6 signaling pathway, we overexpressed either TMPRSS6 or its mutant version of protein in human liver carcinoma cell line HepG2 cells, and compared the transcription status betweem these two treatments.

Project description:The mechanism underlying thrombocytosis in patients with iron deficiency anemia remains unknown. We present findings that support the hypothesis that low iron biases the commitment of Megakaryocytic-Erythroid Progenitors (MEP) toward the megakaryocytic (Mk) lineage in mice. In MEP of Transmembrane serine protease 6 knockout (Tmprss6-/-) mice, which exhibit iron deficiency microcytic anemia concomitant with thrombocytosis, we observed a megakaryocytic (Mk) bias, decreased labile iron, and decreased proliferation relative to wild-type (WT) MEP. Bone marrow transplantation assays suggest that the systemic iron deficiency of the Tmprss6-/- recipients contributes to the MEP lineage commitment bias. Genes involved in metabolic, VEGF, and ERK pathways were enriched among those differentially expressed between WT and Tmprss6-/- MEP. Corroborating our findings from the murine model of chronic iron deficiency anemia, primary human MEP also exhibited decreased proliferation and Mk-biased commitment when their iron sensing pathways were disrupted by knockdown of Transferrin Receptor 2. These data are consistent with a model in which low iron in the marrow environment affects MEP metabolism, attenuates ERK signaling, slows proliferation, and biases MEP toward Mk lineage commitment.

Project description:High levels of hepcidin, the main regulator of systemic iron metabolism leads to various diseases. Targeting hepcidin and lowering its concentration is a possible form of intervention in order to treat these diseases. High turnover rate of hepcidin is a major drawback of therapies directly targeting this peptide. We developed two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) ABT-207 and h5F9-AM8 which inhibit hemojuvelin also known as repulsive guidance molecule c (RGMc) and downregulate hepcidin. After a single application of these antibodies hepcidin expression in liver and its concentration in serum were reduced. Serum iron increased for several weeks. The RGMc antibodies show a pronounced dose response relationship in rats with h5F9-AM8 having an IC50 (UIBC) of ~80 fold higher than ABT-207. When hepcidin levels were downregulated iron deposition in the liver was visible histologically one week post application. The anitbody-mediated iron deposition was not associated with any toxicologically relevant effect at the doses and timepoints evaluate. Iron depositions seen after 14 weekly treatments with ABT-207 were partially reversible in rats and in cynomolgus monkeys. Due to their long-lasting effects and excellent safety profile, both RGMc-blocking antibodies ABT-207 and h5F9-AM8 are favorable clinical candidates for diseases characterized by high serum hepcidin levels like anemia of chronic disease.

Project description:Inflammation influences iron balance in the whole organism. A common clinical manifestation of these changes is the anemia of chronic disease (ACD; also called anemia of inflammation). Inflammation reduces duodenal iron absorption and increases macrophage iron storage, resulting in low serum iron concentrations (hyposideremia). Despite the protection hyposideremia provides against proliferating microorganisms, this iron withholding reduces the iron available to developing red blood cells and eventually contributes to the development of anemia. Hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (Hamp) is a hepatic defensin-like peptide hormone that inhibits duodenal iron absorption and macrophage iron release. Hamp has antimicrobial activity and is part of the type II acute phase response. It is also thought to play a critical regulatory role in the sequestration of iron in the context of ACD. We report that mice with deficiencies in the hemochromatosis gene product, Hfe, mount a general inflammatory response, but lack appropriate Hamp expression and fail to develop hyposideremia. These data suggest a previously unidentified role for Hfe in innate immunity and ACD.

Project description:Background & Aims: Although hepcidin expression was shown to be induced by the BMP signaling pathway, it is not yet known how iron regulates hepcidin and which of the BMP molecules is the endogenous regulator of iron homeostasis in vivo. We therefore assessed liver transcription profiles of mice fed an iron-deficient or an iron-enriched diet and looked for genes that were regulated similarly to hepcidin in that context. Methods: Genome-wide liver expression profiles of mice of the B6 and D2 genetic backgrounds subjected to iron-deficient, -balanced, or -enriched diets were obtained using Agilent Whole Genome microarrays. Real-time quantitative-PCR and western-blots were used to confirm microarray results and compare gene expression variations induced by secondary iron deficiency or iron overload with those consecutive to Smad4 or Hamp1-deficiency. Results: Among 1419 transcripts significantly modulated by the dietary iron content, four were regulated similarly to the hepcidin genes Hamp1 and Hamp2. They are coding for Bmp6, the regulator of Bmp/Smad signal transduction Smad7, the negative regulator of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins Id1, and a protein with a bHLH domain, Atoh8. The iron overload developed by Smad4 and Hamp1-deficient mice also increased Bmp6 transcription. Body iron stores influence Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation and, as shown by analysis of mice with liver-specific disruption of Smad4, the binding partner for the receptor-activated Smads is necessary for activation of Smad7, Id1, and Atoh8 transcription by iron. Conclusions: Liver expression of Bmp6, Smad7, Id1, and Atoh8 is regulated by body iron stores and may participate in hepcidin regulation through the Bmp/Smad pathway.

Project description:Bleeding and altered iron distribution occur in multiple gastrointestinal diseases, but the significance or regulation of these changes remains unclear. Here we report that hepcidin, the master regulator of systemic iron homeostasis, is required for tissue repair in the intestine following experimental damage. This effect was independent of hepatocyte-derived hepcidin or systemic iron levels. Rather, we identified that conventional dendritic cells (DCs) are a source of hepcidin that is induced by microbial stimulation, prominent in the inflamed intestine of humans, and essential for tissue repair. Mechanistically, DC-derived hepcidin acted on ferroportin-expressing phagocytes to promote local iron sequestration, which regulated the microbiota and subsequently facilitated intestinal repair. Collectively, these results identify a novel pathway whereby DC-derived hepcidin promotes mucosal healing in the intestine via nutritional immunity.
