Haem oxygenase limits Mycobacterium marinum infection‐induced detrimental ferrostatin‐sensitive cell death in zebrafish
20 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Iron homeostasis is essential for both sides of the host-pathogen interface. Restricting access of iron slows bacterial growth while iron is also a necessary cofactor for host immunity. Haem oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) is a critical regulator of iron homeostasis that catalyses the liberation of iron during degradation of haem. It is also a stress-responsive protein that can be rapidly upregulated and confers protection...
