Tissue‐Specific Regulation of Ferroportin in Wild‐Type and Hjv‐/‐ Mice Following Dietary Iron Manipulations

Hepcidin is a liver‐derived peptide hormone that limits iron egress from tissues to the bloodstream. It operates by binding to the iron exporter ferroportin, which blocks iron transport and tags ferroportin for degradation. Genetic hepcidin inactivation leads to hereditary hemochromatosis, a disease...

Genetic hepcidin inactivation leads to hereditary hemochromatosis, a disease of iron overload. We used wild‐type and Hjv‐/‐ mice, a model of hemochromatosis, to examine the expression of ferroportin and other proteins of iron metabolism in hepcidin target tissues. The animals were previously subjected to dietary iron manipulations.

Duodenal ferroportin and divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), as well as splenic and hepatic ferroportin, were overexpressed in these animals. A high‐iron diet (2% carbonyl iron) suppressed duodenal DMT1 levels in both wild‐type and Hjv‐/‐ mice; however, it did not affect duodenal ferroportin expression in Hjv‐/‐ mice, and only reduced it in wild‐type mice.
