In VSMC pretreated with the ERK-2 inhibitor PD98059 (10 mM), migration induced by heme was partially inhibited (Fig. 3A) and heme proliferative effect on VSMC was impaired (Fig. 3B). PubMed:22954673

In contrast, less ATP depletion was observed during exposure to heme-albumin, and no effect could be detected when either cell type was exposed to metHb or oxyHb at concentrations of up to 500 lmolL1, even in the absence of serum. PubMed:29610666
Fig. 4 shows that the inhibition of HO activity by both, SnPP (Fig. 4A) or ZnPP (Fig. 4B), potentiates the effect of heme on VSMC proliferation. PubMed:22954673
Additionally, it was observed that inhibition of HO-1 by ZnPP induced a further increase in hemeinduced ROS production (Fig. 4C), suggesting that activation of HO system attenuates the NADPHox-dependent activation of VSMC induced by heme. PubMed:22954673
