Abstract
The antenatal role of the hepcidin-regulating protease Tmprss6 has never been elucidated as knockout dams are infertile. Utilising an in vivo knockdown approach, we confirm Tmprsss6 is critical for hepcidin suppression in pregnancy, and Tmprss6 inhibition drives deleterious fetal outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Blood, the official journal of the American Society of Hematology, published online and in print, provides an international forum for the publication of original articles describing basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations in hematology. Primary research articles will be published under the following scientific categories: Clinical Trials and Observations; Gene Therapy; Hematopoiesis and Stem Cells; Immunobiology and Immunotherapy scope; Myeloid Neoplasia; Lymphoid Neoplasia; Phagocytes, Granulocytes and Myelopoiesis; Platelets and Thrombopoiesis; Red Cells, Iron and Erythropoiesis; Thrombosis and Hemostasis; Transfusion Medicine; Transplantation; and Vascular Biology. Papers can be listed under more than one category as appropriate.
