The role of Bach1 in ultraviolet A-mediated human heme oxygenase 1 regulation in human skin fibroblasts
8 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Up-regulation of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) by ultraviolet A (UVA; 320-380 nm) irradiation of human skin cells protects them against oxidative stress. The role of Nrf2 in up-regulation of HO-1 and other phase II genes is well established. The mechanism underlying Bach1-mediated HO-1 repression is less well understood although cellular localization seems to be crucial. Because prolonged HO-1 overexpression is likely...
