Zinc at Sub-Cytotoxic Concentrations Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression in Human Cancer Cells

Background/Aims: This study investigated the effects of zinc on heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in human cancer cells. Methods/Results: Zinc at sub-cytotoxic concentrations (50-100 μM) induces HO-1 expression in the MDA-MB-231 (human breast cancer) and A2780 (human ovarian cancer) cell lines in a...
