Advances in iron metabolism research….
Systemic iron regulation
(Hentze et al, Cell 2010)
Iron and hepcidin levels in Val Borbera individuals
(Traglia et al, J Med Genet, 2011)
Hepcidin inhibition in iron deficiency,
hypoxia and erythropoiesis expansion
Proposed inhibitors:

TMPRSS6/Matriptase 2
(Hentze et al, Cell 2010)
1. Defects of iron absorption
IRIDA - OMIM #206200
Iron refractory iron deficiency anemia:
Autosomal recessive disorder due to TMPRSS6
(matriptase-2) mutations
Moderate anemia since childhood, severe
microcytosis
Extremely low iron and transferrin saturation
Normal serum ferritin
Inappropriately high hepcidin levels
Refractory to oral and partially refractory to iv iron
(Finberg et al, Nat Genet 2008, Sem Hematol 2009)
TMPRSS6/Matriptase-2: the hepcidin
inhibitor
Matriptase-2 is encoded by TMPRSS6 gene on chr 22
RNA expression: liver (kidney, olfactory epithelium)
Protein: 811 amino acid type II transmembrane serine
protease synthesized as an inactive zymogen
(TTPS family: enteropeptidase, hepsin,corin, matriptase 1…)

How to diagnose IRIDA
 Evidence of microcytic anemia since the first months of life
 Moderate degree of anemia, more severe in children
(increased requests)
 Familial cases (autosomal recessive)
 Discrepancy between ferritin and Tf saturation levels
 Exclude celiac disease and other absorption disorders
 (Normal/high serum hepcidin in the presence of IDA and
normal CRP)
 Refractory to oral (control dose, type of iron and compliance)
and partially refractory to iv iron
 DNA sequence of TMPRSS6 gene (common SNP excluded)
How to treat IRIDA
 Oral iron ineffective (at least two cycles)
 I.V. iron: partial or slow response
 Epo: a single case reported with positive results
(Ramsey et al, Hum Mol Genet 2009). Iron must be added
 A recent report suggest some effect of ascorbic acid:
Cau M, Galanello R, Giagu N, Melis MA. Responsiveness
to oral iron and ascorbic acid in a patient with IRIDA.
(BCMD 2011)
2. Defects of TfRC cycle
1. Defects of transferrin (the ligand)
1. Defects of TfRC are not described!
2. Defects of TfRC components: DMT1, STEAP3
(Camaschella C, Br J Haematol, in press)
Atransferrinemia (OMIM #209300)
Autosomal recessive, extremely rare
Plasma transferrin nearly absent
Severe microcytic anemia and liver iron
overload
Low urinary hepcidin levels
Responds to plasma infusions
Hpx mice
Similar phenotype
Splicing mutations of transferrin
Hepcidin low/undetectable
Hypotransferrinemia: lesson from patients
hepcidin
transferrin
100% Tf saturation
Iron-deficient
erythropoiesis
NTBI
Liver, pancreas
iron overload
Microcytic
anemia
Transferrin (and TFR cycle) are indispensable for erythropoiesis
but not for liver iron uptake (NTBI)
Hepcidin suppression by the iron-deficient erythropoiesis increases
iron absorption
DMT1 deficiency (OMIM #206100)
mk mouse and Belgrade rat
severe iron-deficient anemia due to G185R homozygous
Dmt1 mutation
Dmt1 -/- mice even more severe
Patients with homozygous or compound
heterozygous DMT1 mutations
Microcytic hypochromic anemia and liver
iron overload (less severe than
atransferrinemia)
(Iolascon et al, J Pediatr. 2008;152:136-9)
Lesson from DMT1 human mutants
DMT1 is essential in erythropoiesis
DMT1 is not essential for liver iron uptake
DMT1 is not essential for duodenal iron
absorption (alternative pathways?heme absorption?)
Increased iron absorption occurs because of
low hepcidin levels
Partial response of anemia to erythropoietin treatment
A novel type of hypochromic anemia associated
with a nonsense mutation in the STEAP3 gene
(Grandchamps et al, Blood 2011)

3. Defects of iron utilization:
sideroblastic anemias
Perl’s staining
Anti-MT-ferritin

Mitochondrial iron metabolism
Heme
(modified from Blood 105;1867-1874, 2005)
Defects of heme synthesis
X-linked sideroblastic anemia (OMIM #300751)
The commonest form
Deficiency of ALAS2 reduced heme synthesis
Affects males (rarely females) - Variable severity
Piridoxin (Vitamin B6)-responsive (some cases)
Autosomal recessive sideroblastic anemia (OMIM 301310)
Phenotype more severe than XLSA
Mutations in SLC25A38, an erythroid mitochondrial aminoacid
transporter: involved in mitochondria glycine transport (?)
Piridoxin unresponsive
(Guernsey et al, Nat Genet. 2009;41:651-3)
Defects of Fe/S clusters biogenesis
X-Linked SA with Ataxia (OMIM 301310)
A syndrome described in 1985. Few families worldwide
Mild sideroblastic anemia - Late onset of ataxia
missense mutations of ABCB7, a transporter involved in Fe/S
export from mitochondria
GLRX5 deficiency
The human counterpart of zebrafish shiraz shows sideroblastic
anemia and iron overload due to an homozygous splicing
mutation of GLRX5 (a gene of Fe/S cluster)
(Camaschella et al Blood 2007)

AR (OMIM #604290) - Mutations of Ceruloplasmin (Cp)
Iron overload in liver, RE cells, pancreas, basal ganglia.
Clinical triad in midlle age:
1. Diabetes
2. Neurological disease (ataxia,dementia),
3. Retinal degeneration

How to recognize an atypical microcytosis
1. Refractory (or partially refractory) microcytic anemia
DMT1 deficiency: no response to i.v. iron
2. Iron parameters not congruous:
high transferrin saturation and high serum ferritin
high serum ferritin and low transferrin saturation
3. Ringed sideroblasts (any percentage)
4. Familial cases
5. (High hepcidin) TMPRSS6 mutations
