Artemisinin and Heme [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2003
A recent Letter to the Editor (R. K. Haynes, D. Monti, D. Taramelli, N. Basilico, S. Parapini, and P. Olliaro, Letter, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 47:1175, 2003) presented cogent evidence that artemisinin and its derivatives do not inhibit hemozoin formation in vitro.

Mitochondrial Impairment by MitoBloCK-6 Inhibits Liver Cancer Cell Proliferation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is a critical multi-isoform protein with its longer isoform, located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space, being part of the mitochondrial disulfide relay system (DRS).

Heme Sensor Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Heme is a prosthetic group best known for roles in oxygen transport, oxidative catalysis, and respiratory electron transport. Recent years have seen the roles of heme extended to sensors of gases such as O2 and NO and cell redox state, and as mediators of cellular responses to changes in intracellular levels of these gases.

Pro-inflammatory Actions of Heme and Other Hemoglobin-Derived DAMPs

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are endogenous molecules originate from damaged cells and tissues with the ability to trigger and/or modify innate immune responses.

Involvement of Small Colony Variant-Related Heme Biosynthesis Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Persister Formation in vitro

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Background: Persisters are important reasons for persistent infections, and they can lead to antibiotic treatment failure in patients and consequently chronic infection.

Gut microbiota facilitates dietary heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation by opening the mucus barrier in colon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia.

Peroxidase activity of erythrocytes hemoglobin under action of low-frequency vibration

open access: yesБіологічні студії, 2021
Background. Hemoglobin is a hemoprotein which in the presence of oxidative equivalents, such as H2O2, can act as peroxidase with a very high oxidative potential.

New Marker of Colon Cancer Risk Associated with Heme Intake: 1,4-Dihydroxynonane Mercapturic Acid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: Red meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. Animal studies show that heme, found in red meat, promotes preneoplastic lesions in the colon, probably due to the oxidative properties of this compound.
