“…The authors show that when heme synthesis was upregulated, it led to incorporation of radiolabeled fumarate into heme via succinate and succinyl-CoA [ 20 ]. More recently it has been shown that fumarate hydratase (FH) and HO-1 are synthetically lethal [ 26 , 27 ]. FH deficient cells accumulated fumarate and succinate and had increased expression of HO-1.…”

Heme oxygenase-1 is induced by many cellular stressors and catalyzes the breakdown of heme to generate carbon monoxide and bilirubin, which confer cytoprotection. The role of HO-1 likely extends beyond the simple production of antioxidants, for example HO-1 activity has also been implicated in metabolism, but this function remains unclear. Here we used an HO-1 knockout lung cell line to further define the contribution of HO-1 to cellular metabolism. We found that knockout cells exhibit reduced growth and mitochondrial respiration, measured by oxygen consumption rate. Specifically, we found that HO-1 contributed to electron transport chain activity and utilization of certain mitochondrial fuels. Loss of HO-1 had no effect on intracellular non-heme iron concentration or on proteins whose levels and activities depend on available iron. We show that HO-1 supports essential functions of mitochondria, which highlights the protective effects of HO-1 in diverse pathologies and tissue types. Our results suggest that regulation of heme may be an equally significant role of HO-1.

“…Numerous studies have proved that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, pro-angiogenic, anti-thrombotic, and anti-apoptotic effects of HO-1 are derived from its catabolic byproducts, CO and biliverdin, which render HO-1 as a tissue protector and a good candidate for investigating new therapeutic interventions [1,8,13]. However, several studies have extensively demonstrated the positive role of HO-1 in cancer progress [14][15][16].…”

Human Heme Oxygenase-1 Induced by Interleukin-6 via JAK/STAT3 Pathways Is a Tumor Suppressor Gene in Hepatoma Cells

et al. 2020

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has several important roles in hepatocytes in terms of anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and antioxidant properties. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine associated with liver regeneration and protection against injury. The aim of this study was to determine the potential crosstalk between HO-1 and IL-6, and to elucidate the signaling pathways involved in the induction of HO-1 by IL-6 in human hepatoma cells. Ectopic overexpression of HO-1 not only attenuated cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo, but also blocked the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by H2O2 and the pyocyanin in HepG2 or Hep3B cells. IL-6 expression was negatively regulated by HO-1, while IL-6 induced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation and HO-1 gene expression in HepG2 cells. The co-transfected HO-1 reporter vector and a protein inhibitor of the activated STAT3 (PIAS3) expression vector blocked the IL-6-induced HO-1 reporter activity. Both interferon γ and interleukin-1β treatments induced STAT1 but not STAT3 phosphorylation, which had no effects on the HO-1 expression. Treatments of AG490 and luteolin blocked the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways which attenuated IL-6 activation on the HO-1 expression. Our results indicated that HO-1 is the antitumor gene induced by IL-6 through the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathways; moreover, a feedback circuit may exist between IL-6 and HO-1 in hepatoma cells.

“…On the other hand, we investigated whether brazilin-induced HO-1 expression, but it was not observed (data not shown). Moreover, novel HO-1 inhibition tools were reported such as arylethanolimidazole derivatives in cancer [ 49 ], caffeic acid phenethyl ester in diabetes [ 50 ] and fumarate hydratase as target genes in cancer [ 51 ].…”

Roles of JNK/Nrf2 Pathway on Hemin-Induced Heme Oxygenase-1 Activation in MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells

et al. 2020

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is highly induced in various human disease states, including cancer, indicating that HO-1 is an emerging target of cancer therapy. In this study, we investigated that the mechanisms of hemin-induced HO-1 expression and its signaling pathways in human breast cancer cell. We used MCF-7 cells, a human breast cancer cell line. Hemin increased HO-1 expression in MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Hemin enhanced HO-1 expression through the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) signaling pathway. Hemin also induced activation of Nrf2, a major transcription factor of HO-1 expression. These responses in MCF-7 cells were completely blocked by pretreatment with brazilin, a HO-1 regulator. These results indicated that brazilin inhibits hemin-induced HO-1 expressions through inactivation of JNK/Nrf2 in MCF-7 cells. Thus, our findings suggest that HO-1 is an important anticancer-target of brazilin in human breast cancer.
