Abstract:

The understanding of the in vitro mechanisms of ferritin iron incorporation has greatly increased in recent years with the studies of recombinant and mutant ferritins. However, little is known about how this protein functions in vivo, mainly because of the lack of cellular models in which ferritin expression can be modulated independently from iron. To this aim, primate fibroblastoid COS-7 cells were transiently transfected with cDNAs for human ferritin H- and L-chains under simian virus 40 promoter and analysed within 66 h. Ferritin accumulation reached levels 300-500-fold higher than backgro

Abstract:

Iron that has been oxidized by H-chain ferritin can be transferred into other ferritin molecules before it is incorporated into mature ferrihydrite iron cores. Iron(III) dimers are formed at the ferroxidase centres of ferritin H chains at an early stage of Fe(II) oxidation. Mössbauer spectroscopic data now show that the iron is transferred as monomeric species arising from dimer dissociation and that it binds to the iron core of the acceptor ferritin. Human H-chain ferritin variants containing altered threefold channels can act as acceptors, as can the ferritin of Escherichia coli (Ec-FTN). A

Cytosolic ferritins are composed of heavy (H) and light (L) subunits that co-assemble into a hollow spherical shell with an internal cavity where iron is stored. The ferroxidase activity of the ferritin H chain is critical to store iron in its Fe3+ oxidation state, while the L chain shows iron nucleation properties.

Abstract:

Traditionally, transferrin has been considered the primary mechanism for cellular iron delivery, despite suggestive evidence for additional iron delivery mechanisms. In this study we examined ferritin, considered an iron storage protein, as a possible delivery protein. Ferritin consists of H- and L-subunits, and we demonstrated iron uptake by ferritin into multiple organs and that the uptake of iron is greater when the iron is delivered via H-ferritin compared with L-ferritin. The delivery of iron via H-ferritin but not L-ferritin was significantly decreased in mice with compromised iron stora

Ferritin is an iron-storage protein that exists in both intracellular and extracellular compartments.

H-Kininogen is a precursor of the potent pro-inflammatory peptide bradykinin, which is released from H-kininogen following cleavage of H-kininogen by the serine protease kallikrein. In this report, we demonstrate that binding of ferritin to H-kininogen occurs via the modified light chain of H-kininogen, and that ferritin binds prefe

Iron is required for normal cell growth and proliferation. However, excess iron is potentially harmful, as it can catalyse the formation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) via Fenton chemistry. For this reason, cells have evolved highly regulated mechanisms for controlling intracellular iron levels. Chief among these is the sequestration of iron in ferritin. Ferritin is a 24 subunit protein composed of two subunit types, termed H and L. The ferritin H subunit has a potent ferroxidase activity that catalyses the oxidation of ferrous iron, whereas ferritin L plays a role in iron nucleation a

Abstract:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediates cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in tumor cells. However, when cisplatin-induced ROS do not reach cytotoxic levels, cancer cells may develop chemoresistance. This phenomenon can be attributed to the inherited high expression of antioxidant protein network. H-Ferritin is an important member of the antioxidant system due to its ability to store iron in a nontoxic form. Altered expression of H-Ferritin has been described in ovarian cancers; however, its functional role in cisplatin-based chemoresistance of this cancer type has never been explored. Here, we inv

Abstract:

Ferritins are highly conserved supramolecular protein nanostructures composed of two different subunit types, H (heavy) and L (light). The two subunits co-assemble into a 24-subunit heteropolymer, with tissue specific distributions, to form shell-like protein structures within which thousands of iron atoms are stored as a soluble inorganic ferric iron core. In-vitro (or in cell free systems), the mechanisms of iron(II) oxidation and formation of the mineral core have been extensively investigated, although it is still unclear how iron is loaded into the protein in-vivo. In contrast, there is a

Abstract:

Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) elevates H- and L-ferritin subunit synthesis in both human hepatoma cells (HepG2) and primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Ferritin induction is greater than the increase in total HepG2 protein synthesis in response to IL-1. IL-6 causes a moderate increase in L-subunit synthesis. The levels of the mRNAs for the ferritin H-subunits (H-mRNA) and light subunits (L-mRNA) remain unchanged, indicating that expression of the iron storage protein, ferritin, is regulated by translational mechanisms during inflammation. We have found a translational enhancer regio

Ferritin consists of 24 heavy (H) and light (L) subunits in varying proportions in different tissues and plays a significant role in iron metabolism. We studied rat ferritin subunit expression in the duodenum and liver during early life, when a cycle of iron depletion and repletion occurs. In both tissues, ferritin contents decreased to low levels from day 3 to day 12. The ferritin on day 3 had an H/L mRNA ration of 0.9 and an H/L subunit ratio of 0.6. The decrease of tissue ferritin levels, but not mRNA, on day 12 suggests translational repression consistent with iron depletion. In the duoden

Ferritin is a spherical protein complex that is formed by 24 subunits of H- and L-ferritin. Ferritin stores iron atoms intracellularly, but it also circulates.

Iron incorporation was examined by gel electrophoresis of the reaction products by staining for iron and protein. It was found that inactivation of the ferroxidase centre combined with the substitution of four carboxy groups on the cavity abolished the ability of H-chain ferritin to incorporate iron. Com

After the demonstration that this ferritin is located specifically in the mitochondrion, it was called mitochondrial ferritin. Studies on the properties of this new type of ferritin have been limited by its very high homology with the cytosolic H-ferritin, which is expressed at higher levels in cells. This great similarity made it difficult to obtain specific antibodies against the mitochondrial ferritin devoid of cross-reactivity with cytosolic ferritin. Thus, the know

Abstract Heavy chain ferritin (H-ferritin) is a component of the iron-binding protein, ferritin. We have previously shown that H-ferritin inhibits anti-CD3–stimulated lymphocyte proliferation and that this was due to increased production of interleukin-10 (IL-10). In the present study we have shown that induction of IL-10 production was due to effects of H-ferritin on adherent antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in blood and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). IL-10 was produced by a subpopulation of CD4 T cells, which expressed the CD25 component of the IL-2 receptor and the CTLA-4 receptor
