The enzyme HO-1 was shown to be involved in anti-proliferative/anti-migratory effects in VSMC. This thesis investigates the effect of CBD on VSMC and HO-1. HO-1 was significantly increased by CBD in an ROS-depentent manner. In addition, inhibition of proliferation and migration of VSMC were observed and not attenuated by inhibition/knockdown of HO-1. This work provides evidence of a CBD-mediated induction of HO-1 in VSMC and potential protective effects via an HO-1-independent mechanism. %L 570 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00002522 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002522 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00002522-0 %U https://d-nb.info/1293657557/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002522
