Iron metabolism and innate immunity

Table of Contents: “…Contents: Iron is an essential element for nearly all infectious microorganisms as well as for their plant and animal hosts -- Within hours of infection, animals sequester iron within macrophages as well as in specialized extracellular proteins -- The cellular component of this response causes a marked decrease in extracellular iron concentration -- Hepcidin is a recently characterized peptide that functions as the homeostatic iron-regulatory hormone and as the mediator of inflammatory iron sequestration -- It acts by binding to the sole known cellular iron exporter, ferroportin, and inducing its internalization and degradation -- Pathological regulation or dysregulation of the hepcidin-ferroportin axis is responsible for a number of common iron-related disorders including anemia of inflammation, hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-loading anemias.…”
