Journal ArticleDOI

Heme oxygenase and carbon monoxide initiate homeostatic signaling

TL;DR: The manner in which CO exposure alone modulates the molecular machinery of the cell so that a subsequent stress stimulus will elicit a homeostatic response as opposed to one that is chaotic and disordered is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α stabilization by carbon monoxide results in cytoprotective preconditioning

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that exposure of mφ to CO results in a significant and transient burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) arising from the mitochondria that promotes rapid activation and stabilization of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), which regulates expression of genes involved in inflammation, metabolism, and cell survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin‐6 activates PI3K/Akt pathway and regulates cyclin A1 to promote prostate cancer cell survival

TL;DR: The A‐type cyclin, cyclin A1 is identified as an important downstream target of PI3K/Akt that transduces survival signals in response to IL6 stimulation and is associated with tumor cell survival in PCa.
