Heme oxygenase (HO-1, HSP32) catalyzes the oxidation of heme to biliverdin and carbon monoxide, a putative neurotransmitter. In the brain, HO-1 expression has been associated with neuroprotection during oxidative stress and hypoxia. However, consecutive downstream mediation is involved in neoangiogenesis and consequent neoplastic outgrowth. We have analyzed HO-1 expression in 69 oligodendroglioma tissue samples, in rat intracranially transplanted C6 gliomas, and neuropathologically unaltered control brains by immunohistochemistry. Double labeling experiments confirmed the nature of HO-1 expressing cells. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to demonstrate HO-1 gene expression. HO-1 immunoreactivity was predominantly observed in macrophages/ microglial cells. The number of HO-1 expressing macrophages/microglial cells was significantly lower in primary oligodendrogliomas than in their matched relapses (P
