A method of modifying heme oxygenase-1 transcription is disclosed. The method includes modifying the nuclear concentration of biliverdin reductase, or fragments or variants thereof which bind to a heme oxygenase-1 regulatory sequence, in a cell, whereby an increase in the nuclear concentration of biliverdin reductase, or fragments or variants thereof, increases the transcription of heme oxygenase-1 and a decrease in the nuclear concentration of biliverdin reductase, or fragments or variants thereof, decreases the transcription of heme oxygenase-1. |
