Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in neuronal injuries after cardiac arrest. Increased production of carbon monoxide (CO) by the enzyme hemeoxygenase (HO) in the brain is induced by the oxidative stress. HO is present in the CNS in two isoforms, namely the inducible HO-1 and the constitutive HO-2. Elevated levels of serum HO-1 occurs in cardiac arrest patients and upregulation of HO-1 in cardiac arrest is seen in the neurons. However, the role of HO-2 in cardiac arrest is not well known. In this review involvement of HO-1 and HO-2 enzymes in the porcine brain following cardiac arrest and resuscitation is discussed based on our own observations. In addition, neuroprotective role of methylene blue- an antioxidant dye on alterations in HO under in cardiac arrest is also presented. The biochemical findings of HO-1 and HO-2 enzymes using ELISA were further confirmed by immunocytochemical approach to localize selective regional alterations in cardiac arrest. Our observations are the first to show that cardiac arrest followed by successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation results in significant alteration in cerebral concentrations of HO-1 and HO-2 levels indicating a prominent role of CO in brain pathology and methylene blue during CPR followed by induced hypothermia leading to superior neuroprotection after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), not reported earlier.

Abstract
Background Current postresuscitative care after cardiac arrest (CA) does not address the cause of CA. We previously reported that asphyxial CA (ACA) and ventricular fibrillation CA (VFCA) elicit unique injury signatures. We hypothesized that the early cytokine profiles of the serum, heart, and brain differ in response to ACA versus VFCA. Methods and Results Adult male rats were subjected to 10 minutes of either ACA or VFCA. Naives and shams (anesthesia and surgery without CA) served as controls (n=12/group). Asphyxiation produced an ≈4‐minute period of progressive hypoxemia followed by a no‐flow duration of ≈6±1 minute. Ventricular fibrillation immediately induced no flow. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved earlier after ACA compared with VFCA (42±18 versus 105±22 seconds; P<0.001). Brain cytokines in naives were, in general, low or undetectable. Shams exhibited a modest effect on select cytokines. Both ACA and VFCA resulted in robust cytokine responses in serum, heart, and brain at 3 hours. Significant regional differences pinpointed the striatum as a key location of neuroinflammation. No significant differences in cytokines, neuron‐specific enolase, S100b, and troponin T were observed across CA models. Conclusions Both models of CA resulted in marked systemic, heart, and brain cytokine responses, with similar degrees of change across the 2 CA insults. Changes in cytokine levels after CA were most pronounced in the striatum compared with other brain regions. These collective observations suggest that the amplitude of the changes in cytokine levels after ACA versus VFCA may not mediate the differences in secondary injuries between these 2 CA phenotypes.

Clin Chim Acta 2020; 504:30-35. [PMID: 32006543 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2020.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 01/16/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) degrades heme to CO, iron, and biliverdin/bilirubin. Although serum bilirubin levels were often reported in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), HO-1 levels in patients with CAD and the association between HO-1 and bilirubin levels have not been clarified. METHODS We measured plasma HO-1 and serum total bilirubin levels in 262 patients undergoing coronary angiography. RESULTS HO-1 levels were higher in patients with CAD than without CAD (median 0.46 vs. 0.35 ng/mL, P < 0.01), but bilirubin were lower in patients with CAD than without CAD (0.69 vs. 0.75 mg/dL, P < 0.02). Notably, HO-1 levels in CAD(-), 1-vessel, 2-vessel, and 3-vessel disease were 0.35, 0.51, 0.45, and 0.44 ng/mL, and were highest in 1-vessel disease (P < 0.05). Bilirubin levels in CAD(-), 1-vessel, 2-vessel, and 3-vessel disease were 0.75, 0.70, 0.68, and 0.66 mg/dL (P = NS). No correlation was found between HO-1 and bilirubin levels. In multivariate analysis, HO-1 levels were a significant factor for CAD independent of atherosclerotic risk factors and bilirulin levels. Odds ratio for CAD was 2.32 (95%CI = 1.29-4.17) for high HO-1 (>0.35 ng/mL). CONCLUSIONS Patients with CAD were found to have high HO-1 and low bilirubin levels in blood, but no correlation was found between HO-1 and bilirubin levels.

The Protective Role of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Atherosclerotic Diseases. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20153628. [PMID: 31344980 PMCID: PMC6695885 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20153628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2019] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of heme to generate ferrous iron, carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin, which is subsequently converted to bilirubin. These products have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-thrombotic properties. Although HO-1 is expressed at low levels in most tissues under basal conditions, it is highly inducible in response to various pathophysiological stresses/stimuli. HO-1 induction is thus thought to be an adaptive defense system that functions to protect cells and tissues against injury in many disease settings. In atherosclerosis, HO-1 may play a protective role against the progression of atherosclerosis, mainly due to the degradation of pro-oxidant heme, the generation of anti-oxidants biliverdin and bilirubin and the production of vasodilator CO. In animal models, a lack of HO-1 was shown to accelerate atherosclerosis, whereas HO-1 induction reduced atherosclerosis. It was also reported that HO-1 induction improved the cardiac function and postinfarction survival in animal models of heart failure or myocardial infarction. Recently, we and others examined blood HO-1 levels in patients with atherosclerotic diseases, e.g., coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Taken together, these findings to date support the notion that HO-1 plays a protective role against the progression of atherosclerotic diseases. This review summarizes the roles of HO-1 in atherosclerosis and focuses on the clinical studies that examined the relationships between HO-1 levels and atherosclerotic diseases.

Plasma Heme Oxygenase-1 Levels in Patients with Coronary and Peripheral Artery Diseases. DISEASE MARKERS 2018; 2018:6138124.

Abstract
Aims Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of heme to generate CO, biliverdin, and iron. Since these products have antiatherogenic properties, HO-1 may play a protective role against the progression of atherosclerosis. However, plasma HO-1 levels in patients with atherosclerotic diseases, such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), have not been clarified yet. Methods We investigated plasma HO-1 levels by ELISA in 410 consecutive patients undergoing elective coronary angiography who also had an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test for PAD screening. Results Of the 410 study patients, CAD was present in 225 patients (55%) (1-vessel (1-VD), n = 91; 2-vessel (2-VD), n = 66; 3-vessel disease (3-VD), n = 68). PAD (ABI < 0.9) was found in 36 (9%) patients. Plasma HO-1 levels did not differ between 225 patients with CAD and 185 without CAD (median 0.44 versus 0.35 ng/mL), but they were significantly lower in 36 patients with PAD than in 374 without PAD (0.27 versus 0.41 ng/mL, P < 0.02). After excluding the 36 patients with PAD, HO-1 levels were significantly higher in 192 patients with CAD than in 182 without CAD (0.45 versus 0.35 ng/mL, P < 0.05). HO-1 levels in 4 groups of CAD(−), 1-VD, 2-VD, and 3-VD were 0.35, 0.49, 0.44, and 0.44 ng/mL, respectively, and were highest in 1-VD (P < 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, HO-1 levels were inversely associated with PAD, whereas they were also associated with CAD. The odds ratios for PAD and CAD were 2.12 (95% CI = 1.03–4.37) and 0.65 (95% CI = 0.42–0.99) for the HO-1 level of <0.35 ng/mL, respectively. Conclusions Plasma HO-1 levels were found to be low in patients with PAD, in contrast to high levels in patients with CAD.
