Table 4.

HO-1 and HO-2 effects on AD pathology.

Effects References
HO-1
  • lack of HO-1 causes abnormal CD4+/CD8+ ratios

  • HO-1 modulates Tregs activity

  • HO-1 induction prevents tau aggregation

  • HO-1 protects neurons against oxidative damage

long-term overexpression of HO-1 causes:
  • mitochondrial damage,

  • oxidative stress,

  • aggregation of Aβ and tau oligomers,

  • impaired cognitive ability.
