Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a versatile organometallic pro-drug (CORM) for experimental CO based therapeutics

TL;DR: The complex fac-[Mo(CO)(3)(histidinate)]Na has been reported to be an effective CO-Releasing Molecule in vivo, eliciting therapeutic effects in several animal models of disease and can readily liberate all of its three CO equivalents under biological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraoperative Administration of Inhaled Carbon Monoxide Reduces Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Allografts in Swine

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that donor warm ischemia time is a critical determinant of DGF as evidenced by a transient increase in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen following transplantation before returning to baseline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heme as a danger molecule in pathogen recognition.

TL;DR: This review will focus on how sterile and infective stimuli activate the stress response gene heme oxygenase-1 (Hmox1, HO-1), a master gene critical to an appropriate host response that is now recognized as one with enormous therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-dose carbon monoxide reduces airway hyperresponsiveness in mice.

TL;DR: It is indicated that low-dose CO can effectively reverse AHR in the presence and absence of airway inflammation in mice and a potential role for CO in the modulation of AHR is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia activates a Ca2+-permeable cation conductance sensitive to carbon monoxide and to GsMTx-4 in human and mouse sickle erythrocytes.

TL;DR: Electrophysiological and fluorimetric data provide compelling evidence in sickle erythrocytes of mouse and human for a deoxygenation-induced, reversible, Ca2+-permeable cation conductance blocked by inhibition of HbSS polymerization and by an inhibitor of strctch-activated cation channels.
