Serum Bilirubin and Ferritin Levels Link Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene Promoter Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients
OBJECTIVE Heme oxygenase (HO) leads to the generation of free iron, carbon monoxide, and bilirubin. A length polymorphism of GT repeats in the promoter of human HO-1 gene has been shown to modulate gene transcription. The aim of this study was to assess the association of the length of (GT)(n) repeats in the HO-1 gene promoter with serum bilirubin, markers of iron status, and the development of...
متن کاملHeme Oxygenase-2 Gene Mutations and Blood Bilirubin Level in Iranian Patients with Premature Atherosclerosis
Heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2) is a critical antioxidative stress enzyme found in endothelial cells and adventitialnerves. This enzyme in conjunction with other HOs (1 and 3) metabolize heme molecule into ferrous iron,carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin which is further converted to bilirubin. Both biliverdin and bilirubin arepotent antioxidants, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis...
متن کاملP-70: Study of GTn-Repeat Expansion in Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene Promoter As Genetic Cause of Male Infertility
Background: The length of GT-repeats polymorphic region in the promoter of human Heme oxygenase-1 gene (HO-1) alters the level of its transcriptional activity in response to oxidative stresses. Decreased level of HO-1 protein in the seminal plasma has been reported to be associated with oligospermia and azoospermia in male infertility. This is the first study to investigate the association betw...
متن کاملIntracranial heme metabolism and cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this prospective study was to clarify the potential role of an inducible heme-metabolizing enzyme, heme oxygenase (HO)-1, and an inducible iron-detoxifying protein, ferritin, in cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS The authors measured the levels of bilirubin and iron, which are by-products of HO-1, and the ferritin leve...
متن کاملThe Association between Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene Promoter Polymorphism and the Outcomes of Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
A length polymorphism of GT repeats in the promoter region of the human heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene modulates its gene transcription to protect against myocardial injury. The present study investigated the association between HO-1 promoter polymorphisms and the outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The allelic frequencies of GT repeats in the HO-1 gene promoter were screen...
