Transferrin receptor 1: Keeper of HFE

Nermi L. Parrow, Robert E. Fleming

Summary: In this study, the researchers found that the hemochromatosis protein HFE is necessary for the involvement of hepatocellular transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) in the regulation of iron metabolism and erythropoiesis. This regulation is crucial for maintaining iron balance and normal red blood cell production. The disruption of this regulation contributes to iron-loading anemias and erythropoietin resistance. The identification of the sensors responsible for these processes provides potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Primary Non-HFE Hemochromatosis: A Review

Alla Turshudzhyan, David C. Wu, George Y. Wu

Summary: Iron homeostasis is a complex process involving tightly balanced iron uptake and use. HFE gene mutations are the major cause of primary Type 1 hemochromatosis, while non-HFE hemochromatosis involves other genes such as HJV, HAMP, TFR2, and SLC40A1. Non-HFE hemochromatosis is rare but can cause severe iron overload. Diagnosis is made by ruling out HFE mutations and assessing history, physical examination, laboratory values, imaging, and liver biopsy if necessary. Early treatment with phlebotomy is important to prevent irreversible damage and chronic liver disease.

Iron Promotes Cardiac Doxorubicin Retention and Toxicity Through Downregulation of the Mitochondrial Exporter ABCB8

Archita Venugopal Menon, Jonghan Kim

Summary: This study investigates the impact of iron on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and finds that ABCB8 mediates the efflux of doxorubicin. High iron increases the retention and toxicity of doxorubicin, while iron deficiency improves this effect. The results are further validated in a mouse model of hereditary hemochromatosis.

Hepcidin-Ferroportin Interaction Controls Systemic Iron Homeostasis

Elizabeta Nemeth, Tomas Ganz

Summary: Iron regulation in organisms is primarily controlled by the interaction of the iron-regulatory peptide hormone hepcidin and its receptor ferroportin, which plays a crucial role in maintaining iron homeostasis. Dysregulation of hepcidin can lead to iron overload disorders or iron deficiency, affecting iron delivery and compensatory erythropoiesis.

Effects of Excess Iron on the Retina: Insights From Clinical Cases and Animal Models of Iron Disorders

Ali Shahandeh, Bang V. Bui, David I. Finkelstein, Christine T. O. Nguyen

Summary: Iron plays a crucial role in neuronal health, but excessive levels can be toxic and lead to cell death. Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes iron overload and injury in multiple organs. Recent findings have shown that genes associated with hemochromatosis can disrupt retinal iron metabolism. Therefore, studying the effects of iron overload on the retina is important for understanding its implications in various retinal disorders.

Summary: Hyperferritinaemia is often associated with metabolic dysfunction and fatty liver and is linked to an increased risk of cardiometabolic and liver diseases. The main determinants of ferritin levels in individuals with metabolic dysfunction are genetic variants that affect iron metabolism. However, there is currently a lack of validated criteria for the diagnosis and staging of metabolic hyperferritinaemia, and the benefits of iron depletion therapy remain unclear. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the relationship between hyperferritinaemia and iron accumulation in individuals with metabolic dysfunction and propose updated definitions and staging systems, highlighting research gaps and suggesting future study designs and outcome measures.
