Abstract excerpt
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is the inducible isoform of the rate-limiting enzyme of heme degradation and provides cytoprotection against oxidative stress by its products carbon monoxide and biliverdin. More recently, HO-1 has also been shown to exert immunomodulatory functions via cell type-specific anti-inflammatory effects in myeloid/macrophage cells. In the current study, it is demonstrated that Bruton's tyrosine...
