heme oxygenase-1 expression in human endothelial cells

Heme iron exacerbates oxidant damage by
catalyzing the production of free radicals. Heme oxygenase is the
rate-limiting enzyme involved in heme catabolism. An inducible form of
heme oxygenase, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), is upregulated in oxidant and
inflammatory settings, and recent work suggests that HO-1 induction may
serve a protective function against oxidant injury. The ability of the endogenous inflammatory mediators, interleukin (IL)-1
, tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-
), and IL-6, to enhance HO-1 expression in
cultured human endothelial cells was examined in this study. HO-1 mRNA
and protein expression were upregulated by IL-1
and TNF-
exposure
but not by IL-6. Induction of HO-1 mRNA by IL-1
and TNF-
occurred
in a concentration- and time-dependent fashion, with maximal expression
occurring by 4 h for both cytokines. Induction depended on protein
synthesis and occurred at the transcriptional level. Inhibition of the
AP-1 transcription factor with curcumin decreased the cytokine
induction of HO-1 mRNA, suggesting the involvement of this
transcription factor in cytokine signaling of HO-1. The results of this
study indicate that the endogenous inflammatory cytokines IL-1
and
TNF-
induce HO-1 in endothelial cells, providing further evidence
that HO-1 may be an important cellular response to inflammatory stress.
