| 1 | Hepcidin levels in hereditary hyperferritinemia:Insights into the iron-sensing mechanism in hepatocytes显示文摘AIM:To study the role of hepcidin in hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome(HHCS). METHODS:Six patients from two families with HHCS, confirmed by genetic analysis showing A to G mutation at position+40 in the L-ferritin gene,were recruited to undergo serum hepcidin and prohepcidin measurements using radioimmunoassay and enzyme linked immunoassay,respectively,and measurements were compared with levels in serum from 25 healthy volunteers(14 females),mean age 36±11.9 years.RESULTS:The serum hepcidin and prohepcidin levels in patients with HHCS were 19.1±18.6 and 187± 120.9 ng/mL,respectively.Serum ferritin was 1716.3± 376μg/L.Liver biopsy in one patient did not show any evidence of iron overload.Serum hepcidin and prohepcidin values in healthy controls(HCs)were 15.30±15.71 and 236.88±83.68 ng/mL,respectively,while serum ferritin was 110±128.08μg/L.There was no statistical difference in serum hepcidin level between the two cohorts(19.1±18.6 ng/mL vs 15.30±15.71 ng/mL,P= 0.612)using two-tailed t-test. CONCLUSION:Serum hepcidin levels in HHCS patients is similar to that in HCs.Our study suggests that circulating ferritin is not a factor influencing hepcidin synthesis and does not have a role in the iron-sensing mechanism in hepatocytes. | Jayantha Arnold Arvind Sangwaiya Vijay Manglam Mark Thursz Caroline Beaumont Caroline Kannengiesser Mark Busbridge | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，28： | 1 |
| 2 | Presence of hepcidin-25 in biological fluids: Bile,ascitic and pleural fluids显示文摘AIM: To examine body fluids such as ascitic fluid (AF),saliva,bile and pleural effusions for the presence of hepcidin using a novel radioimmunoassay (RIA).METHODS: Serum samples were collected from 25 healthy volunteers (mean age: 36 ± 11.9 years,11 males,14 females).In addition bile was obtained from 12 patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (mean age: 66.9 ± 16.7 years,M:F = 5:7).Saliva was collected from 17 healthy volunteers (mean age: 35 ± 9.9 years,M:F = 8:9).Pleural and AF were collected from 11 and 16 patients [(mean age: 72 ± 20.5 years,M:F = 7:4) and (mean age: 67.32 ± 15.2 years,M:F = 12:4)],respectively.All biological fluid samples (serum,exudative and transudative fluids) were tested for the presence of hepcidin-25 molecule using RIA.RESULTS: Hepcidin-25 was detected in all biological fluids tested.The mean ± SD hepcidin-25 in serum was 15.68 ± 15.7 ng/mL,bile 7.37 ± 7.4 ng/mL,saliva 3.4 ± 2.8 ng/mL,exudative fluid 65.64 ± 96.82 ng/mL and transudative fluid 14.1 ± 17.8 ng/mL.CONCLUSION: We provide clear evidence that hepcidin-25 is present in bile,saliva,pleural and ascitic fluids.Hepcidin is likely to play a role here in innate immunity. | Jayantha Arnold Arvind Sangwaiya Vijay Manglam Frank Geoghegan Mark Thursz Mark Busbridge | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，17： | 0 |
