Increased hepcidin expression - A novel oncogenic signalling mechanism
Omschrijving
A team led by Dr. Chris Tselepis at the University of Birmingham has investigated for the first time the relationship between hepcidin; a known regulator of iron metabolism and colorectal cancer. Results of the study suggest that circulating hepcidin levels are indicative of stage of colorectal cancer and also that a subset of colorectal tumours express this protein. This adds weight to the growing body of evidence pointing to the importance of iron metabolism in cancer.
