Heme Degradation by Heme Oxygenase Protects Mitochondria but Induces ER Stress via Formed Bilirubin
Heme oxygenase (HO), in conjunction with biliverdin reductase, degrades heme to carbon monoxide, ferrous iron and bilirubin (BR); the latter is a potent antioxidant. The induced isoform HO-1 has evoked intense research interest, especially because it manifests anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects relieving acute cell stress. The mechanisms by which HO mediates the described effects are ...
متن کاملFeatures of the reaction of heme degradation catalyzed by the reconstituted microsomal heme oxygenase system.
The heme oxygenase system was reconstituted from a heme oxygenase preparation highly purified from pig spleen microsomes and a partially purified NADPHcytochrome c reductase from pig liver microsomes. In the reconstituted heme oxygenase reaction, the relationship between the rate of heme degradation and the heme concentration was sigmoidal, and the heme concentration which gave the half-maximum...
متن کاملHeme degradation as catalyzed by a recombinant bacterial heme oxygenase (Hmu O) from Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Hmu O, a heme degradation enzyme in the pathogen Corynebacterium diphtheriae, catalyzes the oxygen-dependent conversion of hemin to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron. A bacterial expression system using a synthetic gene coding for the 215-amino acid, full-length Hmu O has been constructed. Expressed at very high levels in Escherichia coli BL21, the enzyme binds hemin stoichiometrically...
متن کاملInduction of Heme Oxygenase -1 By Lipocalin 2 Mediated By Nf-Kb Transcription Factor
Purpose: Effect of lipocalin 2 on the expression of heme oxygenase I , II and NF-kB transcription factor was the purpose of this survey. Materials and Methods: Lcn2 was cloned to pcDNA3.1 plasmid by using genetic engineering method. The recombinant vector was transfected to CHO and HEK293T to establish stable cell expressing lipocalin 2. The presence of lipocalin 2 gene in these cells was confi...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase and atherosclerosis.
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species under pathophysiological conditions, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, is integral in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The reactive oxygen species released from all types of vascular cells regulate various signaling pathways that mediate not only vascular inflammation in atherogenesis but also antioxidative an...
