Hepatic peptide hormone hepcidin is the key regulator of iron metabolism and the mediator of anemia of inflammation. Previous studies indicated that IL-6 mediates hepcidin increase and consequent hypoferremia during inflammation. Here we used an in vivo human endotoxemia model to analyze the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a more upstream inflammation activator. The temporal associations between plasma cytokines, hepcidin levels and serum iron parameters were studied in 10 healthy subjects after LPS injection. IL-6 was dramatically induced within 3 h after injection and urinary hepcidin peaked within 6 h, followed by a significant decrease in serum iron. Serum pro-hepcidin showed no significant change within a 22 h time frame.
These in vivo human results confirm the importance of IL-6-hepcidin axis in development of hypoferremia in inflammation and highlight the rapid responsiveness of this iron regulatory system.
