1 Indirect immunofluorescence double labeling studies demonstrated a simultaneous increase of ICAM-1 and HO-1 after exposure of cells to heme for 24 hr. Heme heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 These results suggest that upregulation of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E selectin expression is associated with oxidative stress induced by hemoglobin/heme and that HO-1 may play a modulating role via its ability to degrade heme to a substance with antioxidant properties. Heme heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
