Bach1 Overexpression in Down Syndrome Correlates with the Alteration of the HO-1/BVR-A System: Insights for Transition to Alzheimer's Disease
19 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Bach1, among the genes encoded on chromosome 21, is a transcription repressor, which binds to antioxidant response elements of DNA thus inhibiting the transcription of specific genes involved in the cell stress response including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). HO-1 and its partner, biliverdin reductase-A (BVR-A), are upregulated in response to oxidative stress in order to protect cells against further damage. Since...
