1 Heme oxygenase-1 inducer hemin does not inhibit SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Hemin heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Given that hemin is a natural inducer of the HO-1 gene, the aim of this study was to develop an in vitro assay to analyze the antiviral potency of hemin against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hemin heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Given that hemin is a natural inducer of the HO-1 gene, the aim of this study was to develop an in vitro assay to analyze the antiviral potency of hemin against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hemin heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Hemin administration to the culture medium induced a high induction in the expression of the HO-1 gene that was stronger in Vero-E6 macaque-derived cells than in the human Calu-3 cell line. Hemin heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
5 In conclusion, although exposure to hemin induced strong HO-1 up-regulation, this effect was unable to inhibit or delay the progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection in two epithelial cell lines susceptible to infection. Hemin heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
