Heme Oxygenase-1 mRNA Expression in Egyptian Patients With Chronic Liver Disease
BACKGROUND Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a global medical problem. This disease is associated with increased hepatic oxidative stress. One of the antioxidant enzymes that protect cells against this stress is heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the mRNA expression of HO-1 in Egyptian patients with CLD and its relation to oxidative stress biomarkers. PATIENTS ...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase-1 expression in disease states.
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an enzyme which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme degradation resulting in the formation of iron, carbon monoxide and biliverdin, which is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. The biological effects exerted by the products of this enzymatic reaction have gained much attention. The anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective functi...
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 کاملHomocysteine Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression via Transcription Factor Nrf2 Activation in HepG2 Cells
Background: Elevated level of plasma homocysteine has been related to various diseases. Patients with hyperhomocysteinemia can develop hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. We hypothesized that oxidative stress induced by homocysteine might play an important role in pathogenesis of liver injury. Also, the cellular response designed to combat oxidative stress is primarily controlled by the transcripti...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) gene expression in hemodialysed uremic patients+
The oxidative stress and the released heme molecule of degrading red blood cells during hemodialysis induce the expression of heme oxygenase 1 gene (HMOX1). The goal of our study was to measure the expression of HMOX1 during dialysis and compare it with the common oxidative markers. We established a cRT-PCR (competitive reverse transcriptase PCR) method to measure the mRNA levels. The mRNA leve...
متن کاملInduction of heme oxygenase-1 inhibits monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA expression in U937 cells.
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a stress-inducible isoform of HO with potential cytoprotective effects. Monocyte activation/migration mediated by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is one of the earliest and important events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We examined the effect of HO-1 on the production of lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC)-induced MCP-1 in the human promonocytic cel...
