Up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and altered cholesterol (CH) metabolism are characteristic of Alzheimer-diseased neural tissues. The liver X receptor (LXR) is a molecular sensor of CH homeostasis. In the current study, we determined the effects of HO-1 over-expression and its byproducts iron (Fe2+ ), carbon monoxide (CO) and bilirubin on CH biosynthesis, CH efflux and oxysterol formation in cultured astroglia. HO-1/LXR interactions were also investigated in the context of CH efflux. hHO-1 over-expression for 3 days (∼2–3-fold increase) resulted in a 30% increase in CH biosynthesis and a two-fold rise in CH efflux. Both effects were abrogated by the competitive HO inhibitor, tin mesoporphyrin. CO, released from administered CORM-3, significantly enhanced CH biosynthesis; a combination of CO and iron stimulated CH efflux. Free iron increased oxysterol formation three-fold. Co-treatment with LXR antagonists implicated LXR activation in the modulation of CH homeostasis by heme degradation products. In Alzheimer's disease and other neuropathological states, glial HO-1 induction may transduce ambient noxious stimuli (e.g. β-amyloid) into altered patterns of glial CH homeostasis. As the latter may impact synaptic plasticity and neuronal repair, modulation of glial HO-1 expression (by pharmacological or other means) may confer neuroprotection in patients with degenerative brain disorders. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which catalyzes heme degradation releasing iron, regulates several processes related to breast cancer. Iron metabolism deregulation is also connected with several tumor processes. However the regulatory relationship between HO-1 and iron proteins in breast cancer remains unclear. Using human breast cancer biopsies, we found that high HO-1 levels significantly correlated with low DMT1 levels. Contrariwise, high HO-1 levels significantly correlated with high ZIP14 and prohepcidin expression, as well as hemosiderin storage. At mRNA level, we found that high HO-1 expression significantly correlated with low DMT1 expression but high ZIP14, L-ferritin and hepcidin expression. In in vivo experiments in mice with genetic overexpression or pharmacological activation of HO-1, we detected the same expression pattern observed in human biopsies. In in vitro experiments, HO-1 activation induced changes in iron proteins expression leading to an increase of hemosiderin, ROS levels, lipid peroxidation and a decrease of the growth rate. Such low growth rate induced by HO-1 activation was reversed when iron levels or ROS levels were reduced. Our findings demonstrate an important role of HO-1 on iron homeostasis in breast cancer. The changes in iron proteins expression when HO-1 is modulated led to the iron accumulation deregulating the iron cell cycle, and consequently, generating oxidative stress and low viability, all contributing to impair breast cancer progression. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase (HO) is a rate-limiting step of heme degradation, which catalyzes the conversion of heme into biliverdin, iron, and CO. HO has been characterized in micro-organisms, insects, plants, and mammals. The mammalian enzyme participates in adaptive and protective responses to oxidative stress and various inflammatory stimuli. The present study reports the use of RNA-interference (RNAi) to suppress HO in the multicellular eukaryote Drosophila. Eye imaginal disc-specific suppression of the Drosophila HO homolog (dHO) conferred serious abnormal eye morphology in adults. Deficiency of the dHO protein resulted in increased levels of iron and heme in larvae. The accumulation of iron was also observed in the compound eyes of dHO-knockdown adult flies. In parallel with the decrease of dHO, the expression of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthase, the first enzyme of the heme-biosynthetic pathway, in larvae was decreased markedly, suggesting that heme biosynthesis was totally suppressed by dHO-deficiency. The activation of caspase-3 occurred in eye imaginal discs of dHO-knockdown flies, indicating the occurrence of apoptosis in the discs. On the other hand, the overexpression of dHO resulted in a weak but significant rough eye phenotype in adults. Taken together, considering that dHO is not a stress-inducible protein, the expression of dHO can be tightly regulated at developmental stages and the relevant expression is necessary for the normal development of tissues in Drosophila. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) degrades heme into biliverdin, iron, and CO. The enzyme participates in adaptive and protective responses to oxidative stress and various inflammatory stimuli. We examined the regulation of HO-1 expression in culture cells under uninduced conditions. Observations by in situ hybridization and immunostaining showed that in cultured mouse fibroblast Balb/3T3 cells not subjected to treatment, 10-15% of cells highly expressed HO-1. The similar pattern of the expression of HO-1 was observed with mouse embryo liver BNL-CL2 cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells. The marked expression of HO-1 was related to the activation of stress-activated protein kinase and to the expression of cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2. When the cells were treated with arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandin, induction of HO-1 in the HO-1-expressing cells but not in the low-expressing cells occurred. This increase was abrogated by the treatment with the Cox inhibitors, indomethacin, and dexamethasone. Neither prostaglandin H2, E2 nor F2a induced HO-1 expression. These results suggest that some cells respond to the cellular stress and intermediates of prostaglandin biosynthesis may act as endogenous stressors to induce HO-1. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase (HO) catalyzes the oxidative degradation of heme utilizing molecular oxygen and reducing equivalents. In photosynthetic organisms, HO functions in the biosynthesis of such open-chain tetrapyrroles as phyto-chromobilin and phycobilins, which are involved in the signal transduction for light responses and light harvesting for photosynthesis, respectively. We have determined the first crystal structure of a HO-1 from a photosynthetic organism, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Syn HO-1), in complex with heme at 2.5 A resolution. Heme-Syn HO-1 shares a common folding with other heme-HOs. Although the heme pocket of heme-Syn HO-1 is, for the most part, similar to that of mammalian HO-1, they differ in such features as the flexibility of the distal helix and hydrophobicity. In addition, 2-propanol derived from the crystallization solution occupied the hydrophobic cavity, which is proposed to be a CO trapping site in rat HO-1 that suppresses product inhibition. Although Syn HO-1 and mammalian HO-1 are similar in overall structure and amino acid sequence (57% similarity vs. human HO-1), their molecular surfaces differ in charge distribution. The surfaces of the heme binding sides are both positively charged, but this patch of Syn HO-1 is narrow compared to that of mammalian HO-1. This feature is suited to the selective binding of ferredoxin, the physiological redox partner of Syn HO-1; the molecular size of ferredoxin is approximately 10 kDa whereas the size of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, a reducing partner of mammalian HO-1, is approximately 77 kDa. A docking model of heme-Syn HO-1 and ferredoxin suggests indirect electron transfer from an iron-sulfur cluster in ferredoxin to the heme iron of heme-Syn HO-1. 相似文献

Beyond its vasodilator role, vascular nitric oxide (NO), which is synthesized by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) via its activation, has been shown to play a number of other beneficial roles in the vascular system; it inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, prevents platelet aggregation, and regulates endothelial apoptosis. Such beneficial roles have been shown to be implicated in the regulation of endothelial functions. A loss of NO bioavailability that may result either from decreased eNOS expression and activity or from increased NO degradation is associated with endothelial dysfunction, a key factor in the development of vascular diseases. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an inducible enzyme, catalyzes the oxidative degradation of heme to free iron, carbon monoxide, and biliverdin, the latter being subsequently converted into bilirubin. In the vascular system, HO-1 and heme degradation products perform important physiological functions, which are ultimately linked to the protection of vascular cells. Studies have shown that HO-1 and heme degradation products exert vasodilatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on vascular cells. Interestingly, these effects of HO-1 and its by-products are similar, at least in part, to those of eNOS-derived NO; this similarity may prompt investigators to study a possible relationship between eNOS-derived NO and HO-1 pathways. Many studies have been reported, and accumulating evidence suggests that HO-1 and heme degradation products can improve vascular function, at least in part, by compensating for the loss of NO bioavailability. This paper will provide the possible pathway explaining how HO-1 and heme degradation products can preserve vascular NO. 相似文献
