Macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 requires Mal and PI3K for efficient induction of heme oxygenase-1.

AIMS:This study is to investigate the mechanisms by which macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 (MALP-2) induces heme oxygenase (HO)-1, a cytoprotective enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of heme, in human monocytes. METHODS:Human monocytic THP-1 cells were cultured for transient transfection with...
