Pharmacological and clinical aspects of heme oxygenase.
This review is intended to stimulate interest in the effect of increased expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein and increased levels of HO activity on normal and pathological states. The HO system includes the heme catabolic pathway, comprising HO and biliverdin reductase, and the products of heme degradation, carbon monoxide (CO), iron, and biliverdin/bilirubin. The role of the HO syste...
متن کاملThe Status of Nitric Oxide and its Backup, Heme Oxygenase 1, in Thromboangiitis Obliterans
Background: Until recently, a gene polymorphism in the promoter region of endothelial nitric oxide synthase has been suggested as a risk factor for thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) development. The aim of this study was to compare the metabolites of nitric oxide (NO) and its backup, heme-oxygenase-1 (HMOX1), between TAO patients and those of a smoking control group matched by race, age, sex, an...
متن کاملThe Expression of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Human-Derived Cancer Cell Lines
Background: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a cytoprotective and antiapoptotic enzyme, which has been involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis, and plays an important protective role by modulating oxidative injury. Up-regulation of (HO-1) has contributed to tumorogenicity of some cancers. In this study we investigated the expression pattern of the HO-1, in five different human-derived cancer cel...
متن کاملHuman AKI and heme oxygenase-1.
Findings derived from animal models of AKI gain clinical credence and appeal when translational studies corroborate their occurrence in human AKI. In the current issue of JASN, Zager et al. take important steps in addressing the clinical applicability of the conclusion drawn from animal models that induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a protective response in AKI. The major heme-degrading me...
متن کاملHeme Proteins, Heme Oxygenase-1 and Oxidative Stress
Heme is ferrous protoporphyrin-IX that is the prosthetic group of hemoproteins, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochromes that are of vital importance. In contrast, “free heme”, a protein-unbound heme, that is either just synthesized but yet not incorporated into hemoproteins, or that is released from hemoprotein under oxidative conditions, is highly toxic, since it catalyzes the production...
