1 The inability of cells to grow in low iron correlates with increasing activity of their iron regulatory protein (IRP). Iron Wnt family member 2 Homo sapiens
2 We demonstrated that the activity (ratio activated/total) of the iron regulatory protein (IRP) in HID cells Jiyoye and K562 increased more than twofold (from 0.32 to 0.79 and from 0.47 to 1.12, respectively) within 48 h after their transfer into low-iron medium. Iron Wnt family member 2 Homo sapiens
3 Addition of iron chelator deferoxamine (50 microM, i.e., about half-maximal growth-inhibitory dose) resulted in significantly increased activity of IRP also in HeLa and THP-1 cells. Iron Wnt family member 2 Homo sapiens
