D , serum iron assay. E – G , quantification of Neo1, Hjv, and Tfr2 bands in B . The relative amounts to β-actin are presented. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data relative to PBS-injected WT controls. ns, no statistical difference. ∗, p < 0.05; ∗∗, p < 0.01; ∗∗∗∗, p < 0.0001. NEO1, neogenin.

    Ablation of both Tmprss6 and hepatic Neo1 does not affect iron induction of hepcidin expression . Five-week-old Neo1 fl/fl ; Alb-Cre + ; Tmprss6 −/− mice of both genders were fed an IDD, ICD, or HID for 4 weeks before euthanasia for analysis. These animal models were generated in the same setting of studies as described in the legend to for Neo1 fl/fl ; Alb-Cre - and Neo1 fl/fl ; Alb-Cre + mice. All presented data in this figure are generated from male mice. A , serum iron assay. One-way ANOVA was used for analysis. B , liver nonheme iron assay. Green asterisks represent one-way ANOVA analysis of the data from mice fed the same iron diet relative to the corresponding WT ( Neo1 fl/fl ; Alb-Cre - ; Tmprss6 +/+ ) controls. Red asterisks represent Two-tailed student-T test between Neo1 fl/fl ; Alb-Cre + ; Tmprss6 +/+ and Neo1 fl/fl ; Alb-Cre + ; Tmprss6 −/− mice fed the same iron diet. C , qRT-PCR analysis of Hamp mRNA levels in the liver. All qRT-PCR results are expressed as the amount relative to that of β-actin for each sample. D , serum hepcidin assay. E , qRT-PCR analysis of Id1 mRNA levels in the liver. F or G , normalized hepatic Hamp and Id1 mRNA levels to those of liver nonheme iron (C/B and E/B). Each group consists of at least four animals. The means ± SD are presented. ns, no statistical difference. ∗, p < 0.05; ∗∗, p < 0.01; ∗∗∗, p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗, p < 0.0001. H , a model for Mt2 suppression of hepcidin expression in hepatocytes. IDD, iron deficient diet; NEO1, neogenin.
