Role of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 and downstream heme oxygenase-1 induction in alternative macrophage activation induced by apoptotic cells [PDF]
Macrophages show a remarkable functional plasticity, which enables them to change their phenotype in response to environmental signals. They are key players during infection by initiating inflammation through the release of proinflammatory mediators ...

Creation of novel pharmacological tools in heme oxygenase research [PDF]
Aims: While great strides have been made in the elucidation of the physiological and pharmacological roles of heme oxygenases (HO) in experimental animals and humans, there is still an enormous potential for further research discoveries and their ...

Ferritin heavy chain mediates the protective effect of heme oxygenase-1 against oxidative stress
The phenomenon that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protects cell from injury yet its enzymatic product, iron, may facilitate generation of free radical has been long puzzling. Here we establish a functional connection between ferritin heavy chain (FHC) and HO-1.

Heme catabolism by heme oxygenase-1 confers host resistance to Mycobacterium infection [PDF]
Heme oxygenases (HO) catalyze the rate-limiting step of heme degradation. The cytoprotective action of the inducible HO-1 isoform, encoded by the Hmox1 gene, is required for host protection against systemic infections. Here we report that upregulation of

Objective To investigate the relationship among the expressions of heme⁃oxygenase⁃1 (HO ⁃ 1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and cyclinD1 in the perihematomal tissues in human intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and brain renovation following ICH ...

Malaria and susceptibility to other infections [PDF]
Malaria is widely perceived as immunosuppressive. Despite extensive phenomenological description, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly described. The aim of this thesis was to identify possible mechanisms by which malaria modifies host defence, and

Heme Oxygenase Protects against Placental Vascular Inflammation and Abortion by the Alarmin Heme in Mice. [PDF]
Both infectious as non-infectious inflammation can cause placental dysfunction and pregnancy complications. During the first trimester of human gestation, when palatogenesis takes place, intrauterine hematoma and hemorrhage are common phenomena, causing ...

Heme oxygenase, steering dioxygen activation toward heme hydroxylation
The activation of dioxygen by heme oxygenase proceeds via formation of an obligatory ferric hydroperoxide intermediate (FeIII-OOH), as is the case in the activation of dioxygen by monooxygenase enzymes. This review summarizes current understanding of the

Prevention of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in the Rat Liver by Atrial Natriuretic Peptide [PDF]
This work characterizes the protective effects of ANP preconditioning in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the isolated perfused rat liver. It was of particular interest to evaluate the influence of ANP on the mode of cell death occurring during cold ...
