Heme Oxygenase-1 Deficiency Promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Renal Fibrosis

Abstract: Induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is associated with potential antifibrogenic effects. The effects of HO-1 expression on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which plays a critical role in the development of renal fibrosis, are unknown. In this study, HO-1 Ϫ/Ϫ mice demonstrated significantly more fibrosis after 7 d of unilateral ureteral obstruction compared with wild-type mice, despite similar degrees of hydronephrosis. The obstructed kidneys of HO-1 Ϫ/Ϫ mice also had greater macrophage infiltration an… Show more

“…47,48 Kidney cortices from mice were dissected from the medulla, sliced, minced, and filtered through a 70-m cell strainer over a 50-ml conical tube with media (Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium; PromoCell). The medium containing the tubules was centrifuged and plated on collagencoated culture plates and then incubated for 72 hours at 37°C in 5% CO 2 .…”

“…The protective effect of HO-1 against kidney injury is well known in a variety of animal models. 2,18,[22][23][24][25][26] We therefore performed an association study in patients with CAD to investigate whether the length polymorphism of the HO-1 gene promoter is associated with the risk of CKD.…”

“…5 Subsequently, induction of HO-1 was recognized as a protective response that can occur in all organs and tissues and against virtually any insult. 3,4,[6][7][8][9][10] At least four features of HO-1 underlie its salutary effects in stressed tissues. 11,12 First, HO activity generates three chemically distinct products-carbon monoxide, bile pigments, and iron-each of which can participate in specific cellular processes; induced HO-1 thus transmits broad-based and far-ranging signals through its tripartite products and their respective downstream effects.…”
