Heme oxygenase limits mycobacterial infection-induced ferroptosis
2021-05-04
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 co-factor for host immunity. Heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) is a critical regulator of iron homeostasis that catalyses the liberation of iron during degradation of heme. It is also a stress-responsive protein that can be rapidly upregulated and confers protection t...
