Heme oxygenase-1 is induced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with acute pancreatitis: a potential therapeutic target.
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction by hemin or Panhematin protects against experimental pancreatitis. As a preclinical first step toward determining whether HO-1 upregulation is a viable target in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, we tested the hypothesis that HO-1 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subsets of hospitalized patients with mild AP is upregulated then normalizes ...
متن کاملAssociation of reduced heme oxygenase-1 with excessive Toll-like receptor 4 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in Behçet's disease
INTRODUCTION Toll-like receptors (TLRs) mediate signaling that triggers activation of the innate immune system, whereas heme oxygenase (HO)-1 (an inducible heme-degrading enzyme that is induced by various stresses) suppresses inflammatory responses. We investigated the interaction between TLR and HO-1 in an inflammatory disorder, namely Behçet's disease. METHODS Thirty-three patients with Beh...
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 کاملHuman mesenchymal stem cells elevate CD4+CD25+CD127low/- regulatory T cells of asthmatic patients via heme oxygenase-1.
Up-regulation of CD4+CD25+CD127low/- regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a new target in the treatment of asthma. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can up-regulate CD4+CD25+CD127low/- regulatory T cells in vitro, meanwhile, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) plays an important role in the development and maintenance of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells. However the mechanism has not yet been adequately unders...
متن کاملEpileptic seizures increase circulating endothelial cells in peripheral blood as early indicators of cerebral vascular damage.
Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are nonhematopoetic mononuclear cells in peripheral blood that are dislodged from injured vessels during cardiovascular disease, systemic vascular disease, and inflammation. Their occurrence during cerebrovascular insults has not been previously described. Epileptic seizures cause the long-term loss of cerebrovascular endothelial dilator function. We hypothe...
