Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gaseous molecule produced from heme by heme oxygenase (HO). CO interacts with reduced iron of heme-containing proteins, leading to its involvement in various cellular events via its production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). CO-mediated ROS production initiates intracellular signal events, which regulate the expression of adaptive genes implicated in oxidative stress and functions as signaling molecule for promoting vascular functions, including…

Regulation of Endothelial and Vascular Functions by Carbon Monoxide via Crosstalk With Nitric Oxide

A forward, positive feedback circuit between HO/CO and NOS/NO pathways can maintain cardiovascular and neurovascular homeostasis and prevent various human diseases.

Beneficial and Detrimental Roles of Heme Oxygenase-1 in the Neurovascular System

The dual roles of HO-1 and its metabolites in various neurovascular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, ischemia-reperfusion injury, traumatic brain injury, Gilbert’s syndrome, and AD are discussed.

Carbon monoxide shifts energetic metabolism from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation in endothelial cells

The results show that nonactivated endothelial cells rely primarily on glycolysis, but in the presence of CO, mitochondrial Ca2+ increases and activates respiration that shifts the metabolism of endothelium cells from glyCOlysis‐ to oxidative phosphorylation‐dependent ATP production.

Carbon Monoxide Releasing Molecule-2-Upregulated ROS-Dependent Heme Oxygenase-1 Axis Suppresses Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Airway Inflammation

Results suggested that in HTSMCs, CORM-2 activates PKCα/Pyk2-dependent Nox/ROS/ERK1/2/AP-1, leading to HO-1 up-regulation, which suppresses the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced airway inflammation.

Mitochondrial mechanisms by which gasotransmitters (H2S, NO and CO) protect cardiovascular system against hypoxia

Prospects for the use of donors and inducers of gasotransmitters (NO, H2S, CO) synthesis in clinical practice and the role of carbon monoxide and heme oxygenase system in vasodilation are outlined.

Cannabidiol Promotes Endothelial Cell Survival by Heme Oxygenase-1-Mediated Autophagy

ROS-mediated HO-1 expression in endothelial cells is shown for the first time as a mechanism by which CBD mediates protective autophagy, which at higher CBD concentrations, however, can no longer prevent cell death inducing apoptosis.
