Induction of the Mtb Dos regulon in macrophages is modulated by HO-1. A, HO-1 expression in HO-1+/+ and HO-1-/- BMM. BMM were collected from HO-1-/- and HO-1+/+ littermates and infected with Mtb. HO-1 protein levels were analyzed using Western blotting. Note that levels of HO-2, the constitutive isoform of HO, are unchanged. U, uninfected; I, infected. B, HO-1-generated CO induces the Mtb Dos regulon. HO-1-/- and HO-1+/+ BMM were independently infected with Mtb and RNA isolated from intracellular bacilli. Q-PCR was used to analyze the expression of dosR, hspX, and fdxA (an established “fingerprint” of the Dos regulon). Results are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 3 in triplicate).
