Induced disruption of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin inhibits acute inflammatory hypoferremia

Abstract:

Withdrawal of iron from serum (hypoferremia) is a conserved innate immune antimicrobial strategy that can withhold this critical nutrient from invading pathogens, impairing their growth. Hepcidin (Hamp1) is the master regulator of iron and its expression is induced by inflammation. Mice lacking Hamp1 from birth rapidly accumulate iron and are susceptible to infection by blooddwelling siderophilic bacteria such as Vibrio vulnificus. In order to study the innate immune role of hep...
