Expression of Heme Oxygenase‐1 in the Lungs of Rats Exposed to Potassium Octatitanate Whiskers

Abstract: Expression of Heme Oxygenase-1 in the Lungs of Rats Exposed to Potassium Octatitanate Whiskers: Yasuko Obata, et al. Institute of Industrial Ecological Sciences, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan-Objectives: Oxidative stress is thought to be the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis induced by asbestos, and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protects lung tissue against oxidative stress. We hypothesized that HO-1 is also associated with oxidative lung injury caused by exposure to potassium octatitan… Show more

“…It is not clear why CoPPIX did not result in HO-1 induction in hair cells or supporting cells in mouse utricles in vitro. The localization of HO-1 expression in macrophages observed herein is consistent with reports that HO-1 is expressed in macrophages of other organs, including liver and lung (Devey et al 2009;Obata et al 2011). Depletion of 75 % of the macrophages from utricular explants using LC abolished the protective effect of HO-1 induction (Fig.…”

“…Other oxidant markers were also increased, such as the NOx concentration [ 22 ] and lipid peroxidation levels [ 22 ]. In response to ROS release, significant increases in the enzyme heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) are detected specifically in alveolar macrophages [ 121 ]. Antioxidant markers, such as glutathione peroxidase [ 17 ] and SOD activity [ 22 ], also increase significantly [ 22 ], in particular the mitochondrial Mn-SOD (at both mRNA and protein levels) [ 16 , 17 ].…”
