The iron metabolism of neoplastic cells: alterations that facilitate proliferation?

Kwok, Juliana C, Richardson, Des R.·2002·Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology

Abstract

For many years it has been known that neoplastic cells express high levels of the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and internalize iron (Fe) from transferrin (Tf) at a tremendous rate. Considering the high requirement of neoplastic cells for Fe, understanding its metabolism is vital in terms of devising potential new therapies. Apart from TfR1, a number of molecules have been identified that may have roles in Fe metabolism and cellular proliferation. These molecules include transferrin (Tf), the oestrogen-inducible transferrin receptor-like protein, transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2), melanotransferrin (MTf), ceruloplasmin, and ferritin. In the present review these latter molecules are discussed in terms of their potential functions in tumour cell Fe metabolism and proliferation. Further studies are essential to determine the specific roles of these proteins in the pathogenesis of cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
