Research Abstract |
This project investigated pathogenic roles of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 in rheumatic and inflammatory diseases. We showed implication of defective HO-1expressoin in Behcet's disease, a protective role of HO-1 in atopic dermatitis, and serum HO-1 as a biomarker in hemophagocytic syndrome. Moreover, our studies revealed that HO-1 is involved in sleep apnea syndrome, osteoclastogenesis, tumor growth and acquired resistance to anticancer agents.
