Objective To review the latest research progress of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), to thoroughly understand different functions of HO-1 and its influence on osteogenesis and angiogenesis of stem cells, and to analyze HO-1 application in bone tissue engineering. Methods Domestic and international literature on HO-1 in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results The activity of HO-1 and its enzymatic products not only have the properties of anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, and cytoprotection, but also can promote angiogenesis combined with other growth factors and protect the vessel which already exist. Moreover, HO-1 has an effect on the proliferation, paracrine signaling, osteoblastic differentiation, and anti-apoptosis of stem cells. Conclusion HO-1 can be used as a multi-function growth factor in bone tissue engineering, but more investigation should emphasis on synergistic effect of each function so as to improve bone repair.
