✦ Synopsis

We investigated the regulation and expression of ferritin in human cells by exposing peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) to heat shock (HS), opsonized sheep red blood cells (RBC), and iron. Iron induced ferritin but had no effect on stress protein expression. HS did not induce ferritin, indicating that ferritin is not a heat shock protein (HSP), at least in human PBM. In contrast, erythrophagocytosis (EP), a model for oxidative stress and endogenous iron release, induced HSP, heme oxygenase (HO), and ferritin. During EP, the antioxidant flavonoid quercetin prevented the induction of ferritin and HO, while it had no effect on the induction of ferritin by iron. In contrast, the iron chelator o-phenanthroline prevented the induction of ferritin during both EP and iron exposure. Differential effects of the transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D on the various stress proteins revealed transcriptional regulation of HSP and HO during EP, whereas the induction of ferritin was posttranscriptionally regulated. We propose that while ferritin is not an HSP, its induction during EP is mediated through the action of ROS and is promoted by the iron released from RBC. Induction of ferritin and the subsequent iron sequestration may protect PBM from oxidative injury by limiting the ironcatalysed free radical reactions during EP.

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to induce a wide variety of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. An initial challenge with minute amounts of LPS causes tolerance to later LPS effects which is characterized by a much lower or abrogated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. To

Background. The expression of several genes is modulated during neuroblastoma differentiation. The retinoblastoma family proteins, pRb, p107 and pRb2/p130, act in the repression of proliferation genes, interacting mainly with the E2F transcription factors. Procedure and Results. In this study, we fo

Subtractive hybridization was used to isolate genes expressed uniquely in the immortalized human breast epithelial cell (HBEC) line MCF-10F and not in the mortal HBEC line S-130, from which MCF-10F cells were derived. We identified a 233-bp cDNA that was expressed in MCF-10F cells and not in their m
