| Research Abstract |
Bach1 is a heme-responsive transcription factor that represses ho-1 gene expression. In the present study, a transient and dramatic induction of Bach1 was caused by heme-mediated oxidative stress in carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)-induced acute liver failure in rats. These findings suggest that Bach1 mRNA is increased by heme-mediated oxidative stress and that it may be a marker of heme-mediated oxidative stress.
