During acute-phase-response (APR), serum iron concentration rapidly decreases. The current study aimed to compare expression and localization of iron transport protein ferroportin-1 (Fpn-1) and of other iron import proteins after experimental tissue damage induced by injecting turpentine oil in the hind limbs of rats and mice. Serum and spleen iron concentration decreased with an increase in total liver, cytoplasmic and nuclear iron concentration. In liver, mRNA amount of Fpn-1, Fpn-1a, Fpn-1b, HFE, hemojuvelin (HJV) and hephaestin (heph) genes showed a rapid decrease. Hepcidin, divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT-1), transferrin (Tf) and Tf-receptor-1 (TfR1), TfR-2 (TfR2) gene expression was increased. Western blot analysis of liver tissue lysate confirmed the changes observed at mRNA level. In spleen, a rapid decrease in gene expression of Fpn-1, Fpn-1a, Fpn-1b, DMT-1, Tf, TfR1 and TfR2, and an increase in hepcidin was observed. Immunohistochemistry of DMT-1 and TfR2 were mainly detected in the nucleus of rat liver and spleen, whereas TfR1 was clearly localized in the plasma membrane. Fpn-1 was mostly found in the nuclei of liver cells, whereas in spleen, the protein was mainly detected in the cell membrane. Western blot analysis of liver fractions confirmed immunohistochemical results. In livers of wild-type mice, gene expression of Fpn-1, Fpn-1a and Fpn-1b was downregulated, whereas hepcidin gene expression was increased. In contrast, these changes were less pronounced in IL-6ko-mice. Cytokine (IL-6, IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha) treatment of rat hepatocytes showed a downregulation of Fpn-1, Fpn-1a and Fpn-1b, and upregulation of hepcidin gene expression. Moreover, western blot analysis of cell lysate of IL-6-treated hepatocytes detected, as expected, an increase of alpha 2-macroglobulin (positive acute-phase protein), whereas albumin (negative acute-phase protein) and Fpn-1 were downregulated. Our results demonstrate that liver behaves as a 'sponge' for iron under acute-phase conditions, and Fpn-1 behaves as a negative acute-phase protein in rat hepatocytes mainly, but not exclusively, because of the effect of IL-6. These changes could explain iron retention in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus of hepatocytes during APR.

Within the liver, Kupffer cells (KCs) are mainly responsible for this task, as such KCs have a pivotal role in iron metabolism. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes of hepatic gene expression in two models of KC phagocytosis. Gadolinium chloride (GD) or zymosan was injected intraperitoneally into rats and to endotoxin-resistant mice (C3H/HeJ). The animals were killed at different time points and their livers were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA isolation and immunohistological studies. RNA was analyzed by real-time PCR and northern blot. Sera were used to measure transaminases, hepcidin and iron levels. The expression of iron metabolism genes, hepcidin, hemojuvelin (Hjv), ferroportin-1 (Fpn-1) and of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma was determined. Although phagocytosed material was detected in ED-1- and C1q-positive cells, no inflammatory cells were identified within the liver parenchyma. Serum levels of hepcidin, iron and transaminases did not differ from those of control animals. Both GD and zymosan induced an upregulation of hepcidin-gene expression in rat liver as early as 3 h, reaching a maximum 6 h after treatment. Hjv- and Fpn-1-gene expression was downregulated at the same time. IL-6 was by far the most induced acute-phase-cytokine in GD- and zymosan-treated livers, although IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha were also strongly upregulated by zymosan and to a lesser extent by GD. Similar results were obtained in the C3H/HeJ mouse strain excluding the possible role of contaminating endotoxin. This study shows that phagocytosis upregulates hepcidin-gene expression and downregulates Hjv- and Fpn-1-gene expression within the liver. These changes in iron-regulating-gene expression may be mediated by the locally produced acute-phase-cytokines.
