Effect of sea bass derived hepcidins on ferroportin from mouse macrophages. Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were treated with sea bass Hamp1 or Hamp2 peptides for 1, 6 and 24 hours, after which (A) fpn1 mRNA expression and (B) Fpn1 protein levels were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. Values are expressed as the means ± SD of three independent experiments. The Western blot images were obtained from 3 different blots (for 1, 6 and 24 hours) and each is representative of 3 independent experiments. Uncropped blots are presented in Supplementary Figure 5.
