Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Monoxide Expedites Metabolic Exhaustion to Inhibit Tumor Growth
Barbara Wegiel,David Gallo,Eva Csizmadia,Clair Harris,John D. Belcher,Gregory M. Vercellotti,Nuno Penacho,Pankaj Seth,Vikas P. Sukhatme,Asif Ahmed,Pier Paolo Pandolfi,Leszek Helczynski,Anders Bjartell,Jenny L. Persson,Leo E. Otterbein +14 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that CO transiently induces an anti-Warburg effect by rapidly fueling cancer cell bioenergetics, ultimately resulting in metabolic exhaustion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heme oxygenase and carbon monoxide initiate homeostatic signaling
Martin Bilban,Arvand Haschemi,Arvand Haschemi,Barbara Wegiel,Beek Yoke Chin,Oswald Wagner,Oswald Wagner,Leo E. Otterbein +7 more
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
Beek Yoke Chin,Ge Jiang,Barbara Wegiel,Hong J. Wang,Theresa MacDonald,Xu Chen Zhang,David A. Gallo,Eva Cszimadia,Fritz H. Bach,Patty J. Lee,Leo E. Otterbein +10 more
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
Barbara Wegiel,Anders Bjartell,Anders Bjartell,Zoran Culig,Jenny L. Persson,Jenny L. Persson +5 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon monoxide reverses established pulmonary hypertension
Brian Zuckerbraun,Beek Yoke Chin,Barbara Wegiel,Timothy R. Billiar,Eva Czsimadia,Jayashree Rao,Larissa A. Shimoda,Emeka Ifedigbo,Shin Kanno,Leo E. Otterbein +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CO reverses established PAH dependent on NO generation supporting the use of CO clinically to treat pulmonary hypertension.
