Labile heme impairs hepatic microcirculation and promotes hepatic injury

TLDR
Experimental evidence is provided that heme increases portal pressure via a mechanism that involves hepatic stellate cell-mediated sinusoidal constriction, a hallmark of microcirculatory failure under stress conditions and it is proposed that he me scavenging might be used therapeutically to maintain hepatic microcirculation and organ function in sepsis.

Hemolysis Derived Products Toxicity and Endothelium: Model of the Second Hit.

TL;DR: The ‘multiple-hit’ theory through the example of intra-vascular hemolysis is illustrated, with a particular focus on cell-free heme, and hypotheses explaining the glomerular susceptibility observed in hemolytic diseases are advanced.

Therapeutic Potential of Heme Oxygenase-1 and Carbon Monoxide in Acute Organ Injury, Critical Illness, and Inflammatory Disorders.

TL;DR: CO, derived from HO activity, has been identified as an endogenous mediator that can influence mitochondrial function and/or cellular signal transduction programs which culminate in the regulation of apoptosis, cellular proliferation, and inflammation.

Tolerance, danger, and the extended family.

TL;DR: The possibility that the immune system does not care about self and non-self, that its primary driving force is the need to detect and protect against danger, and that it does not do the job alone, but receives positive and negative communications from an extended network of other bodily tissues is discussed.

Mechanisms of Cell Protection by Heme Oxygenase-1

TL;DR: The mechanism underlying this cytoprotective effect relies on the ability of HO-1 to catabolize free heme and prevent it from sensitizing cells to undergo programmed cell death.
