Distinct Iron Deposition Profiles of Liver Zones in Various Models with Iron Homeostasis Disorders
Determination of iron accumulation is crucial in diagnosing the occurrence and progression of many liver‐ and iron‐related diseases. Thus far, little is known about the profiles of iron deposition in different liver zones, particularly under conditions with disordered iron homeostasis. Here, uneven iron distribution in livers of patients with hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is uncovered, showing the region with the highest iron concentration near the entrance site of the portal vein and hepatic artery in contrast to the sites with the lowest iron concentration close to the distal edge. Distinct iron distribution profiles are also found throughout liver zones in wild‐type mice and various mouse models with iron metabolism disorders, including hemochromatosis (Hfe−/−), iron deficiency, and inflammation. Of note, similar findings observed in HH patients are further demonstrated in Hfe−/− mice. Moreover, the zones with greater iron accumulation appear to be more sensitive to iron changes, e.g., there is iron increase upon iron overload and iron loss in response to iron deficiency. Mechanistic investigation manifests that these differential iron changes in liver zones are subjected to the regulation by the hepcidin–ferroportin axis. Additionally, the data corroborate the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in recognizing the differential iron deposition profiles among liver zones.
