Cas No.:14875-96-8
Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Ferroprotoporphyrin is the ferrous form of heme in hemoglobin[1]. Ferroprotoporphyrin is involved in several biological processes such as the transport or storage of oxygen by hemoglobin or myoglobin, respectively, electron transfer by cytochrome b5, and oxidation of xenobiotics or endogenous substrates by cytochrome P450s (CYPs)[2]. Ferroprotoporphyrin used in experiments is typically prepared by dissolving Hemin in an alkaline solution (such as NaOH) and reducing it to functional Heme[3]. Ferroprotoporphyrin is usually used in studies of iron-overload disorders and ferroptosis-related pathologies[4][5].
In vitro, treatment of THP-1 cells and BMDMs with Ferroprotoporphyrin (10μM; 6-24h) induces PANoptosis, triggers mitochondrial dysfunction, upregulates senescence markers (p21, p16, acetylated p53), and causes cell death when combined with heat-killed E. coli[6].
In vivo, Ferroprotoporphyrin (50μmoles/kg body weight; intravenous injection) significantly increased cardiac IL-6 mRNA expression and induced cardiac hypertrophy in the Townes sickle cell disease (SS) mice model[7].

Ferroprotoporphyrin是血红蛋白中血红素的亚铁形式[1]。Ferroprotoporphyrin参与多种生物过程,例如通过血红蛋白或肌红蛋白分别进行氧的运输或储存、细胞色素b5的电子转移,以及细胞色素 P450(CYPs)对外源物或内源性底物的氧化[2]。实验中使用的Ferroprotoporphyrin通常是通过将Hemin溶解在碱性溶液(如NaOH)中并还原为功能性Heme来制备的[3]。Ferroprotoporphyrin常用于铁过载疾病和铁死亡相关病理学的研究[4][5]。
体外实验中,Ferroprotoporphyrin(10μM;处理 6-24小时)在与热灭活的大肠杆菌联合使用时可诱导THP-1细胞和骨髓来源巨噬细胞(BMDMs)发生PANoptosis,触发线粒体功能障碍,上调衰老标志物(p21、p16、乙酰化p53),并且会导致细胞死亡[6]。
体内实验中,Ferroprotoporphyrin(50μmol/kg体重;静脉注射)显著增加了Townes型镰状细胞病(SS)小鼠模型中心脏组织IL-6 mRNA的表达,并诱导了心肌肥大[7]。

Cell lines | THP-1 cells and BMDMs |
Preparation Method | Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from the femurs and tibias of C57BL/6 mice aged 3-5 months. For macrophage differentiation, bone marrow cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 20ng/mL recombinant mouse macrophage colony-stimulating factor at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂. On day 3, half the medium was replaced with fresh M-CSF-containing medium, and cultures were maintained for a total of 7 days to generate macrophages for downstream applications. THP-1 human monocyte-derived macrophages were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 2mM L-glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 10% FBS. Differentiation into macrophages was induced by treating cells with 100nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for three days. Cells were washed twice with pre-warmed PBS to remove residual PMA and rested for 24 hours before experimental use. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and THP-1 macrophages were treated with the following stimuli for 6-24h, alone or in combination, as indicated: Ferroprotoporphyrin (10μM), heat-killed E. coli (MOI: 20). Cells were treated for the indicated times to assess mitochondrial ROS production using MitoSOX Red, and mitochondrial membrane potential using JC-1 staining. Cell death was evaluated using propidium iodide (PI) staining. Mitochondrial ROS and membrane potential assessments, along with PI staining, were analyzed by flow cytometry, confocal imaging, and a fluorescence plate reader. Cell senescence was determined via β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity using the Senescence β-Galactosidase Staining Kit. Additionally, the expression of senescence markers was analyzed by Western blot and immunostaining. |

| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male and female Townes’ knocked-in transgenic sickle mice |
Preparation Method | Male and female Townes’ knocked-in transgenic sickle mice (SS) and strain controls expressing normal human Hb (AA mice) were used. Mouse genotypes were confirmed by PCR. Freshly prepared Ferroprotoporphyrin solution was protected from light and injected into 12-16 week old mice. A range of doses and times were tested and 3h after injection produced consistent survival with no adverse effects on all strains of mice in this study. The mice were injected in the tail vein with a Ferroprotoporphyrin dose of 50µmoles/kg body weight for SS and AA mice. Control mice received sterile vehicle containing 0.25M NaOH adjusted to pH 7.5 with HCl used in preparation of Ferroprotoporphyrin. Whole organs were harvested from mice 3h after Ferroprotoporphyrin injection. Freshly isolated organs (300mg) were snap-frozen and kept at -80℃ for further RT-PCR analysis. Heart IL-6 concentration was measured using the mouse IL-6 ELISA kit. |
Dosage form | 50μmoles/kg body weight; intravenous injection |
Applications | Ferroprotoporphyrin significantly increased cardiac IL-6 mRNA expression and induced cardiac hypertrophy in the Townes sickle cell disease (SS) mice model. |
