These dual properties are beneficial as therapeutic options to reduce iron accumulation and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resultant from excess free iron. The effect of rutin on iron metabolism has been limited to studies performed in wildtype mice either injected or fed high-iron diets. The effect of rutin on iron overload caused by genetic dysregulation of iron homoeostasis has not yet been investigated. In the present study we examined the effect of rutin treatment on tissue iron loading in a genetic mouse model of iron overload, which mirrors the iron loading associated with Type 3 hereditary haemochromatosis patients who have a defect in Transferrin Receptor 2 (TFR2). Male TFR2 knockout (KO) mice were administered rutin via oral gavage for 21 continuous days. Following treatment, iron levels in serum, liver, duodenum and spleen were assessed. In addition, hepatic ferritin protein levels were determined by Western blotting, and expression of iron homoeostasis genes by quantitative real-time PCR. Rutin treatment resulted in a significant reduction in hepatic ferritin protein expression and serum transferrin saturation. In addition, trends towards decreased iron levels in the liver and serum, and increased serum unsaturated iron binding capacity were observed. This is the first study to explore the utility of rutin as a potential iron chelator and therapeutic in an animal model of genetic iron overload.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20210720","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,22]],"date-time":"2021-06-22T05:37:32Z","timestamp":1624340252000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The effect of the flavonol rutin on serum and liver iron content in a genetic mouse model of iron overload"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Zachary\u00a0J.","family":"Hawula","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Genomics, School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Queensland 4059, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eriza\u00a0S.","family":"Secondes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Genomics, School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Queensland 4059, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel\u00a0F.","family":"Wallace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Genomics, School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Queensland 4059, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gautam","family":"Rishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Genomics, School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Queensland 4059, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4583-7790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V.\u00a0Nathan","family":"Subramaniam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Genomics, School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Queensland 4059, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111620491338100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"399","DOI":"10.1002\/iub.1629","article-title":"Systemic iron homeostasis and erythropoiesis","volume":"69","author":"Papanikolaou","year":"2017","journal-title":"IUBMB Life"},{"key":"2021111620491338100_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1225","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccr.2007.12.014","article-title":"Iron chelating agents for the treatment of iron overload","volume":"252","author":"Crisponi","year":"2008","journal-title":"Coord.
