The heme catabolism pathway is often elevated in aggressive cancers; however, the impact of this pathway and some of its byproducts on the tumor microenvironment remain largely unknown. In human breast cancers, tumor expression of the heme catabolizing enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1/HMOX1) is positiv...

This study identifies grass carp TLR4bb as a crucial hub coordinating antiviral immunity with heme metabolism, redox balance, and gut microbiota during GCRV-II infection. While TLR4bb recruits TIRAP/MyD88/TRIF to activate IFN signaling against the virus, its synergy with heme and viral sensing tr...

Alas2 gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in heme biosynthesis. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of two Alas2 intronic cis-elements strongly reduced GATA-1-induced Alas2 transcription, heme biosynthesis, and GATA-1 regulation of other vital constituents of the erythroid cell transcriptome. Bypassing ...

Transcription profiling of P. gingivalis W50 grown in continuous culture under conditions of heme-excess and heme-limitation. Reference design (using Cy5 labelled genomic DNA as the reference) to compare two conditions: heme-excess vs heme-limitation. Three samples for each condition, independently...

Transcriptonal profiling of Leuconostoc gasicomitatum LMG18811T (wild type) grown in MRS medium with or without heme. Mutant LMG18811T::pSIP1333A (mutating cydB gene which is essential in the respiratory chain) grown in MRS with or without heme. Comparing mutant and wildtype with and without heme. ...

Sickle cell disease is characterized by hemolysis, vaso-occlusion and ischemia reperfusion injury. These events cause endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathies in multiple systems However, the lack of atherosclerotic lesions has led to the idea that there are adaptive mechanisms that protect the en...

Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia. Here we explore the possible causal role of the gut microbiota in heme-...

Colon cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths in Western countries and is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the iron-porphyrin pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of gut contents which injures surface cells leading to compensatory hyperproliferation of crypt cells. This hyperproli...

In order to study heme-induced global transcriptional changes, we performed a transcriptome-wide analysis of heme influence on the A. aegypti cell line Aag2. As heme-mediated effects on gene expression are thought to be related to oxidative stress, we compared the transcriptional profiles of Aag2 ce...
