We investigated the influence of the macrophage iron exporter ferroportin and its ligand hepcidin on intracellular Salmonella growth. Elevated ferroportin expression inhibited bacterial multiplication; hepcidin-induced ferroportin down-regulation enhanced it. Expression analysis of iron-responsive Salmonella genes indicated ferroportin-mediated iron deprivation. These results demonstrate a role for ferroportin in antimicrobial resistance.
我们研究了巨噬细胞铁输出蛋白铁转运蛋白及其配体铁调素对细胞内沙门氏菌生长的影响。铁转运蛋白表达升高会抑制细菌繁殖;铁调素诱导的铁转运蛋白下调则会增强细菌繁殖。对铁反应性沙门氏菌基因的表达分析表明铁转运蛋白介导了铁剥夺。这些结果证明了铁转运蛋白在抗菌抗性中的作用。
