Immune-Related Functions of Heme Oxygenase-1
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is a well-known cytoprotective enzyme due to its enzymatic action, which involves the catalysis of heme into anti-apoptotic and antioxidant molecules such as bilirubin, biliverdin and CO [...]

Heme oxygenase 1 overexpression increases iron fluxes in Caco-2 cells [PDF]
Heme oxygenase-1 is a microsomal enzyme that, when induced by stress, protects the cells from oxidative injury. Heme oxygenase-1 participates in the cleavage of the heme ring producing biliverdin, CO and ferrous Fe.

Pathological significance of heme oxygenase-1 as a potential tumor promoter in heme-induced colorectal carcinogenesis [PDF]
The significance of the heme-metabolizing enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been fully explored. HMOX1 cytoprotection is imperative to limit oxidative stress.

HMOX1 gene promoter alleles and high HO-1 levels are associated with severe malaria in Gambian children. [PDF]
Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an essential enzyme induced by heme and multiple stimuli associated with critical illness. In humans, polymorphisms in the HMOX1 gene promoter may influence the magnitude of HO-1 expression.

Nuclear Factor-κB-Independent Anti-Inflammatory Action of Salicylate in Human Endothelial Cells [PDF]
In contrast to aspirin, salicylate, its active metabolite, possesses profound anti-inflammatory properties without blocking cyclooxygenase. Inhibition of the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) has been discussed to play a role in the anti ...
