Chlamydia trachomatis persistence in the female mouse genital tract: inducible nitric oxide synthase and infection outcome.

It was previously reported that female mice resolve a primary Chlamydia trachomatis urogenital infection independent of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). We now report that although iNOS-deficient (NOS2(-/-)) mice resolve culture-apparent infection in a fashion similar to that of normal control (NOS2(+/+)) mice, they sustain significantly increased rates of disease, as assessed by hydrosa...

Cellular regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase.

Renal function is highly dependent on endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO). Several renal disorders have been linked to impaired NO bioavailability. The enzyme that is responsible for the synthesis of NO within the renal endothelium is endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). eNOS-mediated NO generation is a highly regulated cellular event, which is induced by calcium-mobilizing agonists and fluid shea...

Physiologic role of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in female lower urinary tract.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW In recent years nitric oxide (NO) has gained increasing recognition as an important neurotransmitter and cell signaling molecule with a broad range of functions in the lower urinary tract. This review discusses recently published data related to the physiologic and pathophysiologic roles of NO and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the female lower urinary tract. RECENT FINDINGS...

Regulation of the nitric oxide synthase-nitric oxide-cGMP pathway in rat mesenteric endothelial cells.

Most of the available data on the nitric oxide (NO) pathway in the vasculature is derived from studies performed with cells isolated from conduit arteries. We investigated the expression and regulation of components of the NO synthase (NOS)-NO-cGMP pathway in endothelial cells from the mesenteric vascular bed. Basally, or in response to bradykinin, cultured mesenteric endothelial cells (MEC) do...

Regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase by small RNA.

Repeats (27-nt) in intron 4 have been shown to play a cis-acting role in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) promoter activity. We hypothesize that the 27-nt repeats could be the source of small nuclear RNA specifically regulating eNOS expression. In this study, we used synthesized 27-nt RNA duplex and found that the eNOS gene transcriptional efficiency was reduced 63% (0.047 +/- 0.009 vs....
