Induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the spinal cord was studied in adult wildtype and transgenic mice overexpressing the antioxidant copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn SOD) 24 h after intrathecal infusion of heterologous lysed blood. Double immunolabeling techniques were used to determine the extent to which HO-1 was induced in astrocytes and microglia/macrophages. HO-1 was induced in both astrocytes and microglia/macrophages in the dorsal horns near the site of infusion of lysed blood in all mice. However, the number of HO-1 labeled cells was significantly less in the transgenic as compared to the wildtype animals. Together, these findings suggest that lysed blood preferentially induces HO-1 in glia and macrophages through the generation of oxidative stress.
