Iron LXRa NRF2 ABCA1 ABCG1 Hepcidin Ferroportin Cholesterol efflux Iron release Online figure X. LXRa regulates iron export in M2 macrophages. Iron-induced expression of the cholesterol transporters ABCA1/ABCG1 is mediated, at least partially, by LXRa. In addition, LXRa activation reduces the expression of hepcidin and increases the expression of NRF2, resulting in an increased ferroportin expression thus leading to an enhanced iron release. These data indicate that some of the physiological effects of iron can occur through the activation of the LXRa pathways.
