Figure 1: The heme/HO-1 system. Free heme is a reactive Fe compound that can catalyze, through the Fenton reaction, the formation of cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (OH.) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Eli...

Figure 2: Transcriptional regulation of HMOX1. The rate of HMOX1 transcription can be induced by heme as well as by a variety of other agonists (1-n) recognized by specific receptors (1-n). These trig...

Figure 3: Cytoprotective effects of HO-1. Upon engagement, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR-1) induces the formation of multiprotein complex I, which activates the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)...

Figure 4: Free heme sensitization to TNF-mediated programmed cell death (154). (a) When exposed to ROS, some hemoproteins can release their prosthetic heme groups. These act as pro-oxidant catalysts t...

Figure 5: Cellular free heme regulation. Free heme can gain intracellular access via different mechanisms, including through endocytosis of hemoproteins, a process linked to intracellular heme import ...

Figure 6: Systemic regulation of free heme. Under homeostasis, cell-free Hb released from red blood cells is scavenged by haptoglobin. Under pathologic conditions associated with hemolysis, the protec...
