Pneumococci stimulate the production of the inducible nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide by murine macrophages.
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathophysiology of gram-positive sepsis is uncertain. In inflammatory conditions, high-output NO production is catalyzed by the enzyme inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The ability of 2 strains of pneumococci, pneumococcal cell wall preparations, and purified pneumococcal capsule (Pnu-Imune 23) to trigger the production of iNOS protein and NO in RAW 26...
متن کاملResveratrol Increases Nitric Oxide Synthase, Induces
Epidemiological studies have shown that the regular consumption of red wine may in part account for the apparent compatibility of a high fat diet with a low incidence of coronary atherosclerosis. This phenomenon, commonly referred to as the French paradox, may be associated with red wine constituents that exhibit tumor-preventive properties as well as inhibit reactions that increase the risk of...
متن کاملExpression and bactericidal activity of nitric oxide synthase in Brucella suis-infected murine macrophages.
We examined the expression and activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in both gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-treated and untreated murine macrophages infected with the gram-negative bacterium Brucella suis. The bacteria were opsonized with a mouse serum containing specific antibrucella antibodies (ops-Brucella) or with a control nonimmune serum (c-Brucella). The involvement of the pro...
متن کاملSpecific association of nitric oxide synthase-2 with Rac isoforms in activated murine macrophages.
Nitric oxide synthase-2 (NOS2) is responsible for high-output nitric oxide production important in renal inflammation and injury. Using a yeast two-hybrid assay, we identified Rac2, a Rho GTPase member, as a NOS2-interacting protein. NOS2 and Rac2 proteins coimmunoprecipitated from activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. The two proteins colocalized in an intracellular compartment of these cells. Glut...
متن کاملTectorigenin and irigenin inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide synthase expression in murine macrophages
Background: Belamcanda chinensis is a common traditional Chinese medicine, which is mainly used for the treatment of respiratory system disorders, including bronchial asthma, tonsillitis and infantile cough. Isoflavonoids, extracted from the rhizome of this plant, have been shown to exert antiinflammatory effects in vitro. In the present study, we evaluated the protective anti-inflammatory effe...
