H-ferritin-deficient macrophages retain less exogenously added iron. Iron was quantified in Fth1+/+ (black) and Fth1−/− (grey) BMDM treated with 10 μM of FAC or 100 μM of hemin. (a) Iron quantification by TEM-EDS at 30 minutes, 1 or 12 hours, post-treatments. The results represent the mean + SD of 6 to 24 cells and are expressed as the percentage of iron mass inside a single cell (two-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparisons test; *p < 0.05). (b) Iron quantification by atomic absorption at 24 h post-treatments. The results represent the mean + SD of 4 independent cultures per condition and are expressed as the ratio between the concentration of iron and the concentration of phosphorus in each sample (two-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparisons test; *p < 0.05).
