摘要
Liver iron overload can induce hepatic expression of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) 6 and activate the BMP/SMAD pathway. However, serum iron overload can also activate SMAD but does not induce BMP6 expression. Therefore, the mechanisms through which serum iron overload activates the BMP/SMAD pathway remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the role of SMURF1 in serum iron overload and the BMP/SMAD pathway.A cell model of serum iron overload was established by treating hepatocytes with 2 mg/mL of holo-transferrin (Holo-Tf). A serum iron overload mouse model and a liver iron overload mouse model were established by intraperitoneally injecting 10 mg of Holo-Tf into C57BL/6 mice and administering a high-iron diet for 1 week followed by a low-iron diet for 2 days. Western blotting and real-time PCR were performed to evaluate the activation of the BMP/SMAD pathway and the expression of hepcidin.Holo-Tf augmented the sensitivity and responsiveness of hepatocytes to BMP6. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase SMURF1 mediated Holo-Tf-induced SMAD1/5 activation and hepcidin expression; specifically, SMURF1 expression dramatically decreased when the serum iron concentration was increased. Additionally, the expression of SMURF1 substrates, which are important molecules involved in the transduction of BMP/SMAD signaling, was significantly upregulated. Furthermore, in vivo analyses confirmed that SMURF1 specifically regulated the BMP/SMAD pathway during serum iron overload.SMURF1 can specifically regulate the BMP/SMAD pathway by augmenting the responsiveness of hepatocytes to BMPs during serum iron overload.
