Naturally Derived Heme-Oxygenase 1 Inducers and Their Therapeutic Application to Immune-Mediated Diseases.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the use of some compounds from natural sources able to induce HO-1 is an attractive lifestyle toward promoting human health and opens a new outlook on the investigation of naturally derivedHO-1 inducers, mainly concerning autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung pathology due to hRSV infection impairs blood–brain barrier permeability enabling astrocyte infection and a long-lasting inflammation in the CNS

TL;DR: It is found that hRSV infection alters the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice, allowing the trespassing of macromolecules and immune cells and leading to increased infiltration of immune cells into the CNS together with an increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune Modulation by Inhibitors of the HO System

TL;DR: The heme oxygenase (HO) system involves three isoforms of this enzyme, HO-1,HO-2, and HO-3 as discussed by the authors, which display the same catalytic activity, oxidating the heme group to produce biliverdin, ferrous iron, and carbon monoxide (CO).
