Thioctic Acid 54-71 heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens 0-16 16631521-4 2006 ALA significantly induced HO-1 expression accompanied by an increase in HO activity in A10 cells. Thioctic Acid 0-3 heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens 26-30 16631521-7 2006 ALA significantly increased ROS, and this effect was blocked by N-acetyl-cysteine, which also inhibited ALA-induced activation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and AP-1, HO-1 expression, and HO activity. Thioctic Acid 0-3 heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens 187-191 16631521-7 2006 ALA significantly increased ROS, and this effect was blocked by N-acetyl-cysteine, which also inhibited ALA-induced activation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and AP-1, HO-1 expression, and HO activity. Thioctic Acid 104-107 heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens 187-191 16631521-8 2006 These results suggest that ALA induces HO-1 expression through the production of ROS and subsequent activation of the p44/42 MAPK pathway and AP-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells. Thioctic Acid 27-30 heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens 39-43 16631521-9 2006 This study demonstrated that ALA increases the expression of HO-1, a critical cytoprotective molecule, and identified a novel pleiotropic effect of ALA on cardiovascular protection. Thioctic Acid 29-32 heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens 61-65
