Between July 1973 and July 1974 all adult patients with hypochromic anemia and a mean corpuscular volume of 75 mum3 or less were screened for hemoglobinopathies. Of the 490 patients 105 had beta-thalassemia trait, 11 had alpha1-thalassemia trait, 4 had hemoglobin Lepore trait and 1 had hemoglobin H disease. Of 48 inpatients whose charts were reviewed 19 had been on oral iron therapy and 7 of them had been given iron intramuscularly. Of 27 outpatients interviewed 10 had been on intermittent iron therapy for 18 months or more; 4 had been given at least 1 g of intramuscular iron. Iron deficiency was not documented in any of these patients. Iron deficiency should be diagnosed by means other than the presence of a hypochromic picture in the peripheral blood before iron therapy is instituted, particularly in communities with a large population of Mediterranean or South-East Asian origin. 相似文献

Hephaestin is a transmembrane copper-dependent ferroxidase necessary for effective iron transport from intestinal enterocytes into the circulation. Hephaestin is mutated in sex-linked anemia (sla) mice. The initial uptake of iron from the diet in these animals is normal, but the basolateral export of iron from enterocytes is defective, resulting in iron deficiency and microcytic hypochromic anemia. In addition to the small intestine, hephaestin is expressed to a lesser extent in colon, spleen, placenta and kidney but its role in these tissues remains unknown. So far, hephaestin has not been linked to a human disease. 相似文献

Defects in iron absorption and utilization lead to iron deficiency and anemia. While iron transport by transferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis is well understood, it is not completely clear how iron is transported from the endosome to the mitochondria where heme is synthesized. We undertook a positional cloning project to identify the causative mutation for the hemoglobin-deficit (hbd) mouse mutant, which suffers from a microcytic, hypochromic anemia apparently due to defective iron transport in the endocytosis cycle. As shown by previous studies, reticulocyte iron accumulation in homozygous hbd/hbd mice is deficient despite normal binding of transferrin to its receptor and normal transferrin uptake in the cell. We have identified a strong candidate gene for hbd, Sec15l1, a homologue to yeast SEC15, which encodes a key protein in vesicle docking. The hbd mice have an exon deletion in Sec15l1, which is the first known mutation of a SEC gene homologue in mammals. 相似文献

Previous reports revealed that mutation of mitochondrial inner-membrane located protein SFXN1 led to pleiotropic hematological and skeletal defects in mice, associated with the presence of hypochromic erythroid cell, iron overload in mitochondrion of erythroblast and the development of sideroblastic anemia (SA). However, the potential role of sfxn1 during erythrocyte differentiation and the development of anemia, especially the pathological molecular mechanism still remains elusive. In this study, the correlation between sfxn1 and erythroid cell development is explored through zebrafish in vivo coupled with human hematopoietic cells assay ex vivo. Both knockdown and knockout of sfxn1 result in hypochromic anemia phenotype in zebrafish. Further analyses demonstrate that the development of anemia attributes to the biosynthetic deficiency of hemoglobin, which is caused by the biosynthetic disorder of heme that associates with one?carbon (1C) metabolism process of mitochondrial branch in erythrocyte. Sfxn1 is also involved in the differentiation and maturation of erythrocyte in inducible human umbilical cord blood stem cells. In addition, we found that functional disruption of sfxn1 causes hypochromic anemia that is distinct from SA. These findings reveal that sfxn1 is genetically conserved and essential for the maturation of erythrocyte via facilitating the production of hemoglobin, which may provide a possible guidance for the future clinical treatment of sfxn1 mutation associated hematological disorders. 相似文献

Microcytic hypochromic anemia is a common condition in clinical practice and alpha-thalassemia has to be considered as a differential diagnosis. Molecular diagnosis of alpha-thalassemia is possible by polymerase chain reaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of alpha-gene numbers in subjects with microcytosis. In total, 276 subjects with microcytic hypochromic anemia [MCV<80fl; MCH<27pg] were studied. These include 125 with thalassemia trait, 48 with thalassemia major, 26 with sickle-cell thalassemia, 15 with E beta-thalassemia, 40 with iron-deficiency anemia, 8 with another hemolytic anemia, and 14 patients with no definite diagnosis. Genotyping for -alpha3.7 deletion, -alpha4.2 deletion, Hb Constant Spring, and a-triplications was done with polymerase chain reaction. The overall frequency of -alpha3.7 deletion in 276 individuals is 12.7%. The calculated allele frequency for a-thalassemia is 0.09. The subgroup analysis showed that co-inheritance of a-deletion is more frequent with the sickle-cell mutation than in other groups. We were able to diagnose 1/3 of unexplained cases of microcytosis as a-thalassemia carriers. The a-gene mutation is quite common in the Indian subcontinent. Molecular genotyping of a-thalassemia helps to diagnose unexplained microcytosis, and thus prevents unnecessary iron supplementation. 相似文献

Belgrade rats inherit microcytic, hypochromic anemia as an autosomalrecessive trait (gene symbol b). Erythrocytes and tissue are iron deficientin the face of elevated TIBC (total iron binding capacity) and percent ironsaturation; iron injections increased the number of erythrocytes but theirappearance remained abnormal. We have investigated iron supplements toimprove husbandry of b/b rats and to learn more about the underlying defectand its tissue distribution. Weekly IM (intramuscular) injections ofiron–dextran (Imferon at 30 mg kg) improved the anemia but did not alter thered cell morphology. Certain diets also improved the health of b/b rats whencompared to standard rat chows by the criteria of weight, survival toadulthood, hematology and reproduction. The critical nutritional factorturned out to be iron bioavailability, with ferrous iron added to the dietimproving the health of Belgrade rats without affecting the underlyingerythroid defect. Tissue iron measurements after dietary or parenteralsupplementation confirmed the iron deficient status of untreated b/b rats andestablished that dietary ferrous iron partially relieved this deficiency,with injections leading to greater amounts of tissue iron. Serum iron andTIBC were also found to be elevated in untreated b/b rats, with dietarysupplementation decreasing but not eliminating the elevation in TIBC. Thesestudies indicate that iron supplements can improve the health of b/b ratswithout altering the underlying defect and also suggest that the mutationcould alter iron uptake in the GI (gastrointestinal) tract. 相似文献

A new red cell discriminant incorporating volume dispersion for differentiating iron deficiency anemia from thalassemia minor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel red cell discriminant function [MCV2 x RDW/(Hgb x 100)] was compared to six other discriminants in 102 patients with established mild iron deficiency anemia and 33 patients with beta-thalassemia minor. The discriminant incorporates the two key measurements of erythrocyte cell volume distribution, namely the mean (MCV) and standard deviation (RDW), which are known to be helpful for distinguishing between these two frequent causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia. Data used for the learning set to develop the new discriminant were obtained using an electrical impedance automated whole blood analyzer (Coulter S + IV) and were applied as a validation set for six other discriminants. The discriminant was also tested on smaller subsets of the patients groups using data obtained on either an alternate electrical impedance instrument (Sysmex E-5000) or a laser light scattering based system (Technicon H*1). From the comparison it was concluded that use of a discriminant function that incorporates a measurement of red cell volume dispersion results in enhanced accuracy for distinguishing iron deficiency anemia from thalassemia minor. 相似文献

X-linked sideroblastic anemia is a genetic disorder characterized by a hypochromic microcytic anemia of variable intensity with the presence of ring sideroblasts in the bone marrow of the patients. Two different mutations have been reported in the ALAS2 gene in patients with this diseae. We have studied a large kindred with a pyridoxine-sensitive form of X-linked sideroblastic anemia. Sequencing amplified cDNA of the proband revealed a guanine-to-adenine change at nucleotide 871 of the coding sequence (exon 7 of the gene). This results in a glycine to serine substitution that is responsible for a marked decrease in the enzymatic activity of the mutated protein. A polymerase chain reaction assay demonstrated the presence of the same mutation in three affected males and two female carriers in the kindred. The carrier status was excluded in eight females at risk. Early detection of the mutant allele in family members may thus be important for the prevention of anemia in males and of iron overload both in affected males and carrier females. 相似文献

The Belgrade rat has a hypochromic, microcytic anemia inherited as an autosomal recessive mutation. Although transferrin binds normally to reticulocytes and internalizes normally, iron accumulation into cells and heme is much slower than normal. We have investigated the role of the transferrin cycle in this mutant by bypassing transferrin iron delivery with the iron chelate ferric salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (Fe-SIH). Fe-SIH increases iron uptake into heme by Belgrade reticulocytes, restoring it almost to normal levels. This increase indicates that Fe-SIH delivers iron to a step in iron utilization that is after the Belgrade defect. Depleting reticulocytes of transferrin did not alter these observations. Failure to achieve above normal rates of iron incorporation could indicate damage due to chronic intracellular iron deficiency. Also, iron delivery by Fe-SIH restored globin synthesis to near-normal levels in Belgrade reticulocytes. The rates of glycine incorporation into porphyrin and heme in Belgrade reticulocytes incubated with Fe2-transferrin or Fe-SIH paralleled the rates of iron incorporation into heme. These data are consistent with the concept that iron availability limits protoporphyrin formation in rat reticulocytes. The protoporphyrin used for heme synthesis is provided by de novo synthesis and not by a pool of pre-existing protoporphyrin. The Belgrade defect occurs in the movement of iron from transferrin to a step prior to the ferrous state and insertion into heme. This defect diminishes the synthesis of heme and, consequently, that of protoporphyrin and globin. 相似文献

Evidence for and consequences of chronic heme deficiency in Belgrade rat reticulocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The Belgrade rat has a microcytic, hypochromic anemia inherited as an autosomal recessive trait (gene symbol b). Transferrin-dependent iron uptake is defective because of a mutation in Nramp2 (now DMT1, also called DCT1), the protein responsible for endosomal iron efflux. Hence, Belgrade reticulocytes are iron deficient. We show that a chromatographic method is able to measure the amount of 'free' heme in reticulocytes. Most of the 'free' heme is the result of biosynthesis. Succinylacetone, an inhibitor of heme synthesis, decreases the level of 'free' heme and cycloheximide, an inhibitor of globin synthesis, increases the 'free' heme level. In a pulse-chase experiment with 59Fe-transferrin, the 'free' heme pool behaves as an intermediate, with a half-life of just over 2 h. Belgrade reticulocytes contain about 40% as much 'free' heme as do heterozygous or homozygous reticulocytes. This deficiency of 'free' heme slows initiation of translation in Belgrade reticulocytes by increasing the level of an inhibitor of initiation. Thus the Belgrade rat makes a whole animal model available with chronic heme deficiency. 相似文献

Copper deficiency is known to result in a microcytic, hypochromic anemia. Red cells of copper-deficient animals have less hemoglobin than their copper-adequate counterparts. The objective of this work was to determine what role copper plays in maintaining hemoglobin levels. It was hypothesized that the primary defect lies in intracellular iron metabolism. The influence of copper supplementation on iron uptake and storage was examined in a cell line capable of hemoglobin synthesis. The results demonstrated that copper supplementation of human K562 cells was associated with higher cytosolic iron levels and ferritin levels. Copper supplementation of the cell culture altered the initial rate of iron uptake from transferrin and enhanced iron uptake in noninduced cells; however, in hemin-induced K562 cells, which express fewer transferrin receptors on the cell surface, copper appeared to reduce iron uptake. Subsequent studies showed that the cells were able to take up the same amount of iron from transferrin when incubated over a longer period of time (24 hr). In the noninduced (non-hemoglobin synthesizing) cells, proportionally more iron was associated with the ferritin. We concluded from these studies that copper affects both uptake and storage of iron and that copper supplementation reduces cellular iron turnover. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori-related iron deficiency anemia: a review 总被引:10,自引:1,他引:9
Barabino A 《Helicobacter》2002,7(2):71-75
Several clinical reports have demonstrated that Helicobacter pylori gastric infection has emerged as a new cause of refractory iron deficiency anemia, unresponsive to iron therapy, and not attributable to usual causes such as intestinal losses or poor intake, malabsorption or diversion of iron in the reticulo-endothelial system. Although the interaction between infection and iron metabolism is now well consolidated, our understanding of the pathogenetic mechanism underlying the anemia is still wanting. Microbiological and ferrokinetic studies seem to suggest that Helicobacter pylori infected antrum could act as a sequestering focus for serum iron by means of outer membrane receptors of the bacterium, that in vitro are able to capture and utilize for growth iron from human lactoferrin. The proposed hypothesis does not answer why this complication is such a rare disease outcome in a common human infection but it may be used as a template for further controlled studies to determine the mechanisms of this atypical, medically important putative sequelae of H. pylori infection. 相似文献

The erythrocyte deformability of 28 patients with anemia was evaluated with the laser-assisted optical rotational cell analyzer (LORCA), an image analyzer that converts into numerical form the degree of refraction of a laser beam induced by red cells subjected to a range of torsional stresses. The patients were 10 thalassemics, including three with intermediate forms (1 HbC/beta degree, 1 homozygote beta for Orkin's haplotype VI, 1 beta degree/beta delta Sicilian type) and seven heteroygotes for beta Th; six with hereditary spherocytosis (including 2 with structural alteration of the spectrin beta chain); three with type II congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (HEMPAS), two hemizygotes and one heterozygote for G-6PD deficiency, and six with severe hypochromic hyposideremic anemia. Red cell deformability was reduced in intermediate thalassemia, hereditary spherocytosis and HEMPAS, normal in heterozygous beta thalassemia and G-6PD deficiency, and increased in hypochromic hyposideremic anemia. These results show that erythrocyte deformability can be impaired by an Hb chain imbalance, membrane and cyto skeleton structure anomalies and changes in the red cell area/volume ratio. 相似文献

Hereditary sideroblastic anemia (HSA) is a heterogeneous group of inherited anemic disorders which is characterized by the presence of ringed sideroblasts in the bone marrow, microcytic hypochromic anemia and typically its X-linked inheritance in patients. It has been shown that a deficiency of the erythroid-specific delta-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS-E) activity is responsible for pyridoxine-responsive HSA in many patients, however, the pathogenesis of other types of HSA remains still unknown. In this article, recent evidence suggesting multiple causes for HSA is summarized and discussed. 相似文献

Background. A few cases relating H. pylori infection to iron-deficiency anemia have been described recently. We investigated the role of H. pylori infection in iron-deficiency anemia in preadolescent children and adolescents.
Patients and Methods. We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled therapeutic trial in 43 subjects (mean age, 15.4 years) with iron-deficiency anemia. Endoscopy was performed, and biopsy specimens were examined by urease test and histological analysis. Twenty-two of 25 H. pylori –positive patients were assigned randomly to three groups. Group A patients were given oral ferrous sulfate and a 2-week course of bismuth subcitrate, amoxicillin, and metronidazole. Group B patients were given placebo for iron and a 2-week course of triple therapy. Group C patients were given oral ferrous sulfate and a 2-week course of placebo. Iron status was reassessed 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the 2-week regimen ended.
Results. Of the 43 subjects with iron-deficiency anemia, 25 (58.1%) had H. pylori in the antrum. Group A and B subjects, who received eradication therapy, showed a significant increase in hemoglobin level as compared with group C subjects at 8 weeks after therapy ( p = .0086).
Conclusions. Treatment of H. pylori infection was associated with more rapid response to oral iron therapy as compared with the use of iron therapy alone. Such treatment also led to enhanced iron absorption even in those subjects who did not receive oral iron therapy. 相似文献

A genetic screen for mutations affecting embryogenesis in the medaka, Oryzias latipes, identified a mutant, whiteout (who), that exhibited hypochromic anemia. The who mutant initially had the normal number of blood cells, but it then gradually decreased during the embryonic and larval stages. The blood cells in the who mutants show an elongated morphology and little hemoglobin activity. Genetic mapping localized who to the vicinity of a LG12 marker, olgc1. By utilizing the highly conserved synteny between medaka and pufferfish, we identified a gene for delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), which is the second enzyme in the heme synthetic pathway, as a candidate for who. We found a missense mutation in the alad gene that was tightly linked to the who phenotype, strongly suggesting that the hypochromic anemia phenotype in the who mutant is caused by a loss of the alad function. Thus, who mutants represent a model for the human disease ALAD-deficiency porphyria. 相似文献

As a result of investigations into the diagnostic validity of selected haematologic-morphological and clinical-chemical test factors of iron metabolism in the diagnosis of hypochromic anaemia, the examined test faktora are differently evaluated as individual parameters and in their combination. 1. Haematocrit (PCV) is equal to the determination of haemoglobin concentration as a search parameter. 2. The number of reticulocytes, copper and zinc as well as caeruloplasmin have a separating effect as individual parameters on the examined classes of iron deficiency and tumour and infect anaemia. 3. Iron has no value as a individual parameter. It is only in combination with TEBK and the haematologic test factors that is has a diagnostic value. 4. In contrast, ferritin as an individual parameter is of primary importance and should be used extensively in the laboratory diagnosis of hypochromic anaemia. 5. TEBK and transferrin may be supposed to be equal in their diagnostic value. 6. When used in combination, haemoglobin, MCV, TEBK, Transferrin, and ferritin have effective separating function. They permit hypochromic anaemia to be widely assigned to one or another kind of the examined classes. 相似文献

Mouse models of red blood cell abnormalities are important for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of human erythrocytic diseases. DBA.B6-Mha (Microcytic hypochromic anemia) congenic mice were generated from the cross between N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-mutagenized male C57BL/6J and female DBA/2J mice as part of the RIKEN large-scale ENU mutagenesis project. The mice were established by backcrossing with DBA/2J mice for more than 20 generations. These mice showed autosomal-dominant microcytic hypochromic anemia with decreased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) levels and increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and plasma ferritin levels. Linkage analysis indicated that the Mha locus was located within an interval of approximately 1.95-Mb between D16Nut1 (58.35 Mb) and D16Mit185 (60.30 Mb) on mouse chromosome 16. Mutation analysis revealed that DBA.B6-Mha mice had a point mutation (c.921-2A>G) at the acceptor site of intron 4 in the coproporphyrinogen oxidase (Cpox) gene, a heme-synthesizing gene. RT-PCR revealed that the Cpox mRNA in DBA.B6-Mha mice caused splicing errors. Our results suggest that microcytic hypochromic anemia in DBA.B6-Mha mice is owing to impaired heme synthesis caused by splice mutations in Cpox. Therefore, the DBA.B6-Mha mice may be used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying microcytic hypochromic anemia caused by mutations in Cpox. Although low MCV levels are known to confer malarial resistance to the host, there were no marked changes in the susceptibility of DBA.B6-Mha mice to rodent malarial (Plasmodium yoelii 17XL) infection. 相似文献
