Objective To observe the effects of thapsigargin (TG) on ferroportin1 (FPN1) in MES23.5 dopaminergic cell. Methods MES23.5 cells were treated with TG (0.1 μM or 1 μM) for 24h. the mRNA levels of hepcidin were measured using real-time PCR; The protein levels of CHOP, XBP-1s and FPN1 were measured using western blots. Results CHOP and XBP-1s expression was significantly higher in the TG-treated group than that in the control group; hepcidin mRNA levels in TG-treated group were up-regulated, this increase was to a larger extent in the 1 μM TG group when compare with the 0.1 μM TG group; however, FPN1 expression was significantly lower in the TG-treated group, this decrease was to a larger extent in the 1 μM TG group when compare with the 0.1 μM TG group. Conclusion TG could modulate FPN1 in MES23.5 cells by hepcidin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
