1 Piceatannol upregulates endothelial heme oxygenase-1 expression via novel protein kinase C and tyrosine kinase pathways. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we examined the ability of piceatannol to upregulate HO-1 expression in endothelial cells. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
3 We found piceatannol at micromolar (10-50 microM) concentrations dramatically increased HO-1 protein levels in a time-dependent manner. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Piceatannol was similarly potent in the induction of HO-1 as hemin, arsenate, and 15d-PGJ2, and was more potent than some other phytochemicals including curcumin, EGCG, baicalein, and quercetin. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
5 Piceatannol-mediated HO-1 induction was abrogated in the presence of N-acetylcysteine and glutathione, but not by other antioxidants. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
6 Induction of HO-1 by piceatannol was further enhanced by using buthionine sulfoximine. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
7 Treating ECs with zinc protoporphyrin, an HO-1 inhibito blocked the anti-inflammatory effect of piceatannol. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
8 In summary, this study identified piceatannol as a novel phytochemical inducer of HO-1 expression and identified the mechanisms involved in this process. 3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
