1 | Here, we report that inhibition of biliverdin reductase (BVR), the enzyme of the heme degradation pathway converting biliverdin to bilirubin, shifts endothelial phenotype of the primary human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to mesenchymal-like one. | Heme | biliverdin reductase A | Homo sapiens |
2 | Here, we report that inhibition of biliverdin reductase (BVR), the enzyme of the heme degradation pathway converting biliverdin to bilirubin, shifts endothelial phenotype of the primary human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to mesenchymal-like one. | Heme | biliverdin reductase A | Homo sapiens |
3 | BVR-deficiency induces the activity of Nrf2 transcription factor and increases heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) level, which is accompanied by the reduction of cellular heme content, increase in a free iron fraction and oxidative stress. | Heme | biliverdin reductase A | Homo sapiens |
