The regulation of heme oxygenase (HO) activity and its dependence on iron was studied in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R). HO activity was induced by hypoxia (10 h) and continued to increase during the reoxygenation phase. HO-1 protein levels were strongly induced by hypoxia from undetectable levels and remained elevated at least 8 h postreoxygenation. Addition of the Fe3+ chelator desferrioxamine mesylate (DFO) or the Fe2+ chelator o-phenanthroline during hypoxia alone or during the entire H/R period inhibited the induction of HO activity and HO-1 protein levels. However, DFO had no effect and o-phenanthroline had a partial inhibitory effect on HO activity and protein levels when added only during reoxygenation. Loading of BAEC with Fe3+ enhanced the activation of the HO-1 gene by H/R, whereas loading with L-aminolevulinic acid, which stimulates heme synthesis, had little effect. These results suggest that chelatable iron participates in regulating HO expression during hypoxia.
