1 AP-1 activation attenuates the arsenite-induced apoptotic response in human bronchial epithelial cells by up-regulating HO-1 expression. arsenite heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Here, we show that a significant induction of HO-1 expression is present in human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B) treated with lethal doses of arsenite treatment. arsenite heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
3 As expected, HO-1 RNAi knockdown, or ERK/AP1 inhibition, renders the Beas-2B cells more sensitive to arsenite damage. arsenite heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Our data thus suggest that transcriptional upregulation of HO-1 expression via a putative ERK/AP-1 pathway constitutes an inherent mechanism by which arsenite-induced apoptosis is attenuated. arsenite heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
