    Abstract Anemia is common in cancer patients and impacts on quality of life and prognosis. It is typically multifactorial, often involving different pathophysiological mechanisms, making treatment a difficult task. In patients undergoing active anticancer treatments like chemotherapy, decreased red blood cell (RBC) production due to myelosuppression generally predominates, but absolute or functional iron deficiency frequently coexists. Current treatments for chemotherapy-related anemia include blood transfusions, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and iron supplementation. Each option has limitations, and there is an urgent need for novel approaches. After decades of relative immobilism, several promising anti-anemic drugs are now entering the clinical scenario. Emerging novel classes of anti-anemic drugs recently introduced or in development for other types of anemia include activin receptor ligand traps, hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors, and hepcidin antagonists. Here, we discuss their possible role in the treatment of anemia observed in patients receiving anticancer therapies.

    Abstract Iron deficiency (ID) with or without anemia is common worldwide. ID is a broad definition encompassing decreased total body iron (absolute deficiency) as well as reduced iron supply to erythropoietic and/or other organs with preserved stores (functional iron deficiency, FID), as it occurs in inflammation. Increased iron needs unbalanced by iron supply, low iron intake, reduced absorption and chronic blood loss, often in combination, are the main causes of absolute ID, easily diagnosed by low ferritin levels. In all these cases hepcidin synthesis is repressed, while in FID is augmented by inflammatory cytokines, causing iron sequestration in stores. Because of increased ferritin levels diagnosis of ID in the latter condition may be tricky: global clinical evaluation, accepted threshold of iron tests together with response to iron treatment may be of help. Search and removal of the responsible cause(s) is as important as diagnosing ID or FID. The response to oral iron treatment is suboptimal when hepcidin levels are high. Future research is needed to establish/validate markers for improved diagnosis of complex cases and to test the therapeutic value of drugs under development aimed at interfering with the altered iron trafficking.

    Abstract Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are highly prevalent worldwide. Oral iron salts, especially ferrous sulfate, are commonly used for the treatment of iron deficiency (ID). However, its use is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, thus compromising treatment compliance. Intravenous iron administration is a more costly and logistically complex alternative and is not risk-free, as infusion and hypersensitivity reactions may occur. Sucrosomial

    Abstract Iron is a micronutrient essential for a wide range of metabolic processes in virtually all living organisms. During infections, a battle for iron takes place between the human host and the invading pathogens. The liver peptide hepcidin, which is phylogenetically and structurally linked to defensins (antimicrobial peptides of the innate immunity), plays a pivotal role by subtracting iron to pathogens through its sequestration into host cells, mainly macrophages. While this phenomenon is well studied in certain bacterial infections, much less is known regarding viral infections. Iron metabolism also has implications on the functionality of cells of the immune system. Once primed by the contact with antigen presenting cells, lymphocytes need iron to sustain the metabolic burst required for mounting an effective cellular and humoral response. The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted an amount of clinical and translational research over the possible influences of nutrients on SARS-CoV-2 infection, in terms of either susceptibility or clinical course. Here we review the intersections between iron metabolism and COVID-19, belonging to the wider domain of the so-called "nutritional immunity". A better understanding of such connections has potential broad implications, either from a mechanistic standpoint, or for the development of more effective strategies for managing COVID-19 and possible future pandemics.
