Abstract

Oxidative stress of human skin fibroblasts by treatment with ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation has been shown to lead to an increase in levels of the heme catabolizing enzyme heme oxygenase 1 [heme, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (alpha-methene-oxidizing, hydroxylating), EC 1.14.99.3] and the iron storage protein ferritin. Here we show that human skin fibroblasts, preirradiated with UVA, sustain less membrane damage during a subsequent exposure to UVA radiation than cells that had not been preirradiated. Pretreating cells with heme oxygenase 1 antisense oligonucleotide inhibited the irradiation-dependent induction of both the heme oxygenase I enzyme and ferritin and abolished the protective effect of preirradiation. Inhibition of the UVA preirradiation-dependent increase in ferritin, but not heme oxygenase, with desferrioxamine also abolished the protection. This identifies heme oxygenase 1 as a crucial enzymatic intermediate in an oxidant stress-inducible antioxidant defense mechanism, involving ferritin, in human skin fibroblasts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
