| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and iron metabolism in age-related disturbance of iron metabolism. It was shown that the 2,3-Dimethoxy-1,4-naphtoquinone (DMNQ), a superoxide generator, and ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TTMo), an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase, induced the phosphorylation of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) via protein kinase C (PKC) activation. In addition, treatment with 4-hydroxy-s-nonenal (4-HNE), an end products of lipid peroxidation, inhibited IRP1 activity and caused a decrease in expression of iron transporters. These results suggest that ROS control iron metabolism through IRP1 regulation.
