Abstract

Systemic iron balance is regulated by hepcidin, a peptide hormone secreted by the liver.By decreasing cell surface expression of the iron exporter ferroportin, hepcidin decreases iron absorption from the intestine and iron release from reticuloendothelial stores.Hepcidin excess has been implicated in the pathogenesis of anemia of chronic disease, while hepcidin deficiency has a key role in the pathogenesis of the iron overload disorder hemochromatosis.We have recently shown that hemojuvelin is a coreceptor for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling and that BMP signaling positively regulates hepcidin expression in liver cells in vitro.Here we show that BMP-2 administration increases hepcidin expression and decreases serum iron levels in vivo.We also show that soluble hemojuvelin (HJV.Fc) selectively inhibits BMP induction of hepcidin expression in vitro and that administration of HJV.Fc decreases hepcidin expression, increases ferroportin expression, mobilizes splenic iron stores, and increases serum iron levels in vivo.These data support a role for modulators of the BMP signaling pathway in treating diseases of iron overload and anemia of chronic disease.Nonstandard abbreviations used: BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; GDF, growth and differentiation factor; HJV.Fc, soluble hemojuvelin comprised of the extracellular domain of hemojuvelin fused to the Fc portion of human IgG; pRL-TK, Renilla luciferase vector.

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.
