We previously reported that heme oxygenase-1 over expression induced by the heme oxygenase-1 inducer hemin protected testes from torsion-detorsion injury. In this study we elucidated which of these enzymes is involved in hemin induced heme oxygenase-1 over expression in testicular tissues after torsion-detorsion injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (National Science Council, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China) were allocated to undergo testicular torsion-detorsion immediately followed by injection of normal saline, hemin or hemin plus tin protoporphyrin, a heme oxygenase-1 inhibitor. Another set of rats that underwent sham operation were used as controls. Testes were harvested 0 and 30 minutes after detorsion and enzyme expression was analyzed. RESULTS: Hemin alone caused no significant effects on the expression of Nrf2, nuclear factor-kappaB, extracellular regulated kinase and c-jun N-terminal kinase. Similarly testicular torsion-detorsion injury caused no significant effects on Nrf2 expression. In the presence of torsion-detorsion injury hemin significantly up-regulated Nrf2 expression. Moreover, this effect was not affected by tin protoporphyrin. Unlike Nrf2, the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB, extracellular regulated kinase and c-jun N-terminal kinase was significantly up-regulated by testicular torsion-detorsion. Hemin significantly attenuated the testicular torsion-detorsion induced up-regulation of nuclear factor-kappaB and extracellular regulated kinase but not c-jun N-terminal kinase. The effects of hemin on nuclear factor-kappaB and extracellular regulated kinase were significantly reversed by tin protoporphyrin. However, the expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in rodent testes was not affected by these interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Hemin induced heme oxygenase-1 over expression in rodent testes after torsion-detorsion injury involves Nrf2, nuclear factor-kappaB and extracellular regulated kinase. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=19693 ------>authors2=Shih HJ ------>authors3=Chow YC ------>authors4=Tsai PS ------>authors5=Huang CJ ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Yang S ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Hemin induced heme oxygenase-1 over expression involves nuclear factor-E2 related factor-2, nuclear factor-kappaB and extracellular regulated kinase: an experimental study in a testicular torsion-detorsion rodent model. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=6 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2008 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=6 |
