1 Adenovirus-mediated transfer and overexpression of heme oxygenase 1 cDNA in lung prevents bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via a Fas-Fas ligand-independent pathway. Bleomycin heme oxygenase 1 Mus musculus
2 Because enhanced expression of HO-1 confers protection against many types of cell and tissue damage by modulating apoptotic cell death or cytokine expression profiles, we hypothesized that adenovirus-mediated transfer of HO-1 cDNA and subsequent overexpression of the protein in lung would provide therapeutic benefit in a murine model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin heme oxygenase 1 Mus musculus
3 Because enhanced expression of HO-1 confers protection against many types of cell and tissue damage by modulating apoptotic cell death or cytokine expression profiles, we hypothesized that adenovirus-mediated transfer of HO-1 cDNA and subsequent overexpression of the protein in lung would provide therapeutic benefit in a murine model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin heme oxygenase 1 Mus musculus
4 Consistent with the concept that HO-1 overexpression prevents fibrosis via a pathway independent of Fas-FasL interaction, Ad.HO-1 administration prevented bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in gld/gld mice, which express nonfunctional FasL. Bleomycin heme oxygenase 1 Mus musculus
