Abstract：
:A radioimmunoassay was developed to assess the response of testicular HO-1 to agents known to increase the microsomal heme oxygenase activity. Treatment of rats with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) increased the microsomal heme oxygenase activity in rat testis. The following data suggest that the increase was specific to the HO-1 isozyme: (a) The elution profile of heme oxygenase activity from a DEAE-Sephacel column showed an increase in the HO-1 peak, but not in the HO-2 peak, (b) the Western immunoblot of the testis microsomes showed an increase in HO-1 protein, and (c) the amount of HO-1 protein that was present in the microsomes, when measured by radioimmunoassay, was doubled. Using radioimmunoassay, it was shown that other agents known to increase the testicular heme oxygenase, sodium arsenate and sodium arsenite, also increased the microsomal content of HO-1. An inhibitor of the testicular microsomal heme oxygenase activity, cadmium, also increased the microsomal HO-1 protein. The findings suggest that inducibility of HO-1 extends to tissues other than the liver, in this instance, the testis, and further support the possibility that HO-1 is the only inducible form of heme oxygenase.
