Abstract excerpt
Monocytes play a key role in mobilization of the immune response during sepsis. In response to LPS, monocytes produce both proinflammatory mediators and regulatory proteins that counteract the inflammation and oxidative stress. In murine macrophages, LPS stimulates expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), a cytoprotective enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of heme. The HO-1 5'-untranslated region, similarly to...
