Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), an iron overload disease associated with mutations in the HFE gene, is characterized by increased intestinal iron absorption and consequent deposition of excess iron, primarily in the liver. Patients with HH and Hfe-deficient (Hfe / ) mice manifest inappropriate expression of the iron absorption regulator hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by the liver in resp...
BACKGROUND Between 4% and 35% of hereditary hemochromatosis (HC) probands are C282Y or H63D heterozygotes or lack both of these two common HFE mutations, and 15 novel HFE mutations have been described recently. We evaluated denaturing HPLC (DHPLC) for screening of the whole HFE coding region and further defined whether HC probands with an incomplete HFE genotype carry uncommon mutations. METH...
CONTEXT Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is generally associated with iron overload, which may contribute to its pathogenesis, through increased oxidative stress and cellular damage. There are conflicting reports in literature about hemochromatosis (HFE) gene mutations and the severity of liver disease in alcoholic patients. OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence of mutations in the hemochromatosi...
Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is an mRNA surveillance pathway that selectively recognizes and degrades defective mRNAs carrying premature translation-termination codons. However, several studies have shown that NMD also targets physiological transcripts that encode full-length proteins, modulating their expression. Indeed, some features of physiological mRNAs can render them NMD-sensitive. Huma...
Hereditary hemochromatosis is most commonly caused by homozygosity for a point mutation (C282Y) in the human hemochromatosis gene (HFE). The mechanism by which HFE regulates iron absorption is not known, but the C282Y mutation results in loss of cell surface expression of the human hemachromatosis protein (HFE) and hyperabsorption of iron by the duodenal enterocyte. Mice homozygous for a deleti...
The nonclassical MHC class I-related (MHC-I) molecule HFE controls cellular iron homeostasis by a mechanism that has not been fully elucidated. We examined the regulation of HFE by K5, the E3 ubiquitin ligase encoded by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV8), that is known to down-regulate classical MHC-I. K5 down-regulated HFE efficiently, using polyubiquitination of the membrane ...
In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), lung accumulation of excessive extracellular iron and macrophage haemosiderin may suggest disordered iron homeostasis leading to recurring microscopic injury and fibrosing damage. The current study population comprised 89 consistent IPF patients and 107 controls. 54 patients and 11 controls underwent bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Haemosiderin was assessed...

UNLABELLED The past decade has seen an increase in the application of human factors and ergonomics (HFE) techniques to healthcare delivery in a broad range of contexts (domains, locations and environments). This paper provides a state of science commentary using four examples of HFE in healthcare to review and discuss analytical and implementation challenges and to identify future issues for HF...
HFE is a nonclassical class I molecule that associates with beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) and with the transferrin receptor. HFE accumulates in transferrin-containing endosomes, and its overexpression in human cell lines correlates with decreased transferrin receptor (TFR)-mediated iron uptake and decreased intracellular iron pools. A mutation that interferes with proper folding and assembly o...
