Professional Summary:

The current focus of my lab is on iron metabolism in animals and humans. From the practical viewpoint, iron is an important nutrient, but its ability to act in the ferrous and ferric state also makes it toxic. Thus, iron deficiency is the most frequent disorder in the world and hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is the most common Mendelian disorder in the United States.

Our research is related to erythroid differentiation on the fundamental level and to genetic and acquired diseases on the applied level, with four long-term themes: 1.) analysis of the molecular basis of differential gene expression among tissues and during development, with hemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell (RBC) development as models; 2.) application of molecular and genetic advances to inherited diseases; 3.) iron metabolism; 4.) study of gene variation in populations and divergence of gene loci during evolution.

New vistas have opened recently for the anemia of chronic diseases, leading us to re-exam how microbes and their human hosts fight for iron. We approach these issues by working on rodent models like the Belgrade rat, plus a series of genetically engineered mice.

The rat has a hypochromic, microcytic anemia inherited as an autosomal recessive. The defect is in an iron transporter called DMT1 (or slc11a2, previously called Nramp2 or DCT1) that is responsible for iron uptake by enterocytes and is also responsible for iron exiting endosomes in the transferrin cycle. The rats appear to have a severe iron deficiency, and although dietary iron and iron injection increase the number of RBCs, they do not restore the RBCs nor the rat itself to a normal phenotype.

Recent discoveries show that DMT1 is ubiquitous and responsible for transport of other metals such as Mn and Ni. It occurs in the kidney, brain and lung at even higher levels than in the GI tract or in erythroid cells. It also has multiple isoforms, and we have cloned them and developed cell lines that express high levels of particular isoforms. We have specific antibodies to the isoforms and assays for each of the mRNAs too.

Future projects in my lab will continue to address whether DMT1 is dysregulated in HH. We will also tackle how DMT1 functions in neurons, pneumocytes and other tissues, look at isoforms of DMT1 under circumstances where we suspect that they must have different functions from one another, and examine DMT1’s relevance to iron metabolism and human disease. Because we cloned the gene and identified the mutation, a number of molecular and cellular approaches can now be used. As evidence indicates that metal ion homeostasis fails in Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease, research on DMT1 has opened new vistas for these disorders.

  • "Where Prem Ponka's life and thought intersected mine" I was invited as a speaker to memorialize Prem Ponka at a symposium to be held in May 2020 after he passed away late in 2019. As he was a dear friend who later disrupted our relationship, I gave a lot of thought on what to say. In early March 2020, however, the symposium was postponed due to COVID-19 and after additional postponements, its date is now indefinite. I have a file where I have a record of some of his recollections including his father's role in WW II. I still hope to discuss these as well as his huge contribution to the understanding of iron metabolism. Until recently, entry into and return from Canada has been problematic due to Covid. Dr Amel Hamdi, the main organizer and Prem's final postdoc, may now be leaving the Lady Davis Institute so I regard this festschrift and as uncertain to occur.

Service Activities:

  • Science Translational Medicine received a submission where I am an acknowledged expert. I found the submission very much appropriate for the journal and of high importance. One control was missing so I recommended acceptance after provision of the control. The editor, however, rejected it based largely on that omission.; Review of Ms submission (2022)
  • Advised Blood Advances on a submission in my area of expertise. The paper was eventually accepted and is very relevant to COVID and Black communities. That relevance is why I was asked to review it.; Reviewed Ms submitted to Blood Advances (2021)
  • Advised Biological Trace Element Research on a submission in my area of expertise; Reviewed a Ms submitted to Biological Trace Element Research (2021)
  • Advised Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology on a submission in my area of expertise; Reviewed a Ms submitted to Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology (2021)
  • Advised Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports on a submission in my area of expertise; Reviewed Ms submitted to Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (2020)
  • Advised FASEB J on a submission in my area of expertise; Reviewed a Ms submitted to FASEB J (2020)
  • When ASH requests that I do so, I write a letter to my reps on an issue for them. Most important has been funding for Sickle Cell Disease Research; American Society of Hematology, Grassroots Network (2020–present)
  • Expert Witness, Forensic Analysis of DNA Evidence - Courts have been relatively inactive due to COVID-19. The Erie County Society for Indigent Prisoners has contacted me 2x to be sure that I can still act in this capacity when activity comes back. Rich's departure will be a serious issue for them because he was their main other resource. I would like advice on whether to try to get Norma Novak or Michael Buck involved. The assigned counsel office specifically asked me to find additional experts other than myself so I asked both Norma and Michael. Each of them did not feel that they could take on the occasional job. Your advice would be welcome - are you willing yourself to learn the needed background or can you recommend another person?; Expert Witness, Forensic Analysis of DNA Evidence (2020–present)
  • Occasional solicited advice for Ioav Cabantchik then Ella Nemeth who were / are officers; Member & informal advisor- International BioIron Society (2019–present)
  • Occasionally review submitted Mss and take responsibility for selecting reviewers for submissions in my area; Member International Advisory Board for Jordan Journal of Biological Sciences (2006–present)
