The effect of cobaltic(III)-protoporphyrin on heme oxygenase activity and mRNA content was examined in vivo in the adult male rat liver. The activity of heme oxygenase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation of heme, was enhanced, as expected, by cobalt protoporphyrin (25 μmol/kg body weight) in a time-dependent manner. Levels of enzyme activity were increased 2-fold by 8–16 h following treatment and were 6-fold higher than baseline values by 48 h. Administration of cobalt protoporphyrin resulted in a marked increase in heme oxygenase mRNA in the liver. Within 2 h of treatment, mRNA levels had increased 7.9-fold. The induction of heme oxygenase mRNA was maximal at 8 h when the levels were 58.5-fold above baseline. At every time point tested, the increase in heme oxygenase mRNA was several fold greater than that of enzyme activity.
