Regulación de la hepcidina y homeostasis del hierro: avances y perspectivas Regulation of hepcidin and iron homeostasis: progress and prospects

Abstract

El estudio de los desórdenes genéticos del metabolismo del hierro, la identificación de sus transportadores y el descubrimiento de la hepcidina, hormona reguladora de la homeostasia del hierro, han contribuido grandemente a aumentar los conocimientos sobre este metabolismo y han cambiado sustancialmente la visión sobre las enfermedades relacionadas con alteraciones del metabolismo férrico. En la última década, no solo se han esclarecido elementos de la patogénesis de estas enfermedades, sino que ya se vislumbran aplicaciones terapéuticas de estos avances. Así, ya se habla de una nueva era basada en el tratamiento de los desórdenes de la homeostasia del hierro a través de la modulación de la hepcidina.The study of genetic disorders of iron metabolism, identification of transporters and the discovery of hepcidin- a hormone regulating iron homeostasis- have contributed greatly to increase awareness of this metabolism. Substantially, the vision on diseases related to disorders of iron metabolism has been changed. In the last decade, elements of the pathogenesis of these diseases have not only been clarified, but therapeutic applications of these advances are looming. Thus, there are expectations of a new era based on the treatment of iron homeostasis disorders through hepcidin modulation.
