Phenolic metabolites of anthocyanins modulate mechanisms of endothelial function [PDF]
Anthocyanins are reported to have vascular bioactivity, however their mechanisms of action are largely unknown. Evidence suggests that anthocyanins modulate endothelial function, potentially by increasing nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, or enhancing NO ...

HO‐1 expression in primary cultured astroglial cells [PDF]
Heme oxygenase (HO)‐1 catalyzes the rate‐limiting step in heme degradation. The aim of the study was to determine HO‐1 expression and distribution pattern in glial cells during differentiation and after exposure to glutamate (GLU) (100 μm). In untreated cells at 7 days in vitro (DIV) HO‐1 expression was undetectable whereas increased at 14 and 21 DIV ...

Transcriptome analysis of human cancer reveals a functional role of Heme Oxygenase-1 in tumor cell adhesion [PDF]
Background Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is expressed in many cancers and promotes growth and survival of neoplastic cells. Recently, HO-1 has been implicated in tumor cell invasion and metastasis.

Functional expression of human heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) driven by HO-1 promoter in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
AbstractWe developed a retrovirus‐mediated human heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) gene expression system and assessed the impact of heme on the inducibility of the HO‐1 gene in rat lung microvessel (RLMV) endothelial cells and in newborn Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats.

HO-1 overexpression and underexpression: Clinical implications
In this review we examine the effects of both over- and under-production of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and HO activity on a broad spectrum of biological systems and on vascular disease. In a few instances e.g., neonatal jaundice, overproduction of HO-1 and increased HO activity results in elevated levels of bilirubin requiring clinical intervention with ...

Recipient HO-1 inducibility is essential for posttransplant hepatic HO-1 expression and graft protection: From bench-to-bedside [PDF]
By documenting potent antioxidative and anti-inflammatory functions, preclinical studies encourage heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)-inducing regimens in clinical orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We aimed to determine the importance of recipient-derived HO-1 in murine and human OLTs. Hepatic biopsies from 51 OLT patients were screened for HO-1 expression (

Heme breakdown and ischemia/reperfusion injury in grafted liver during living donor liver transplantation [PDF]
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) requires ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), which can cause early graft injury. However, the detailed mechanism of I/R injury remains unknown.
