Nitric oxide coordinates cell proliferation and cell movements during early development of Xenopus.
The establishment of a vertebrate body plan during embryogenesis is achieved through precise coordination of cell proliferation and morphogenetic cell movements. Here we show that nitric oxide (NO) suppresses cell division and facilitates cell movements during early development of Xenopus, such that inhibition of NO synthase (NOS) increases proliferation in the neuroectoderm and suppresses conv...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Regulates Cell Proliferation during Drosophila Development
Cell division and subsequent programmed cell death in imaginal discs of Drosophila larvae determine the final size of organs and structures of the adult fly. We show here that nitric oxide (NO) is involved in controlling the size of body structures during Drosophila development. We have found that NO synthase (NOS) is expressed at high levels in developing imaginal discs. Inhibition of NOS in l...

From the *Depar Cardiovascular Dis Naples, Italy; zDi of Naples, Naples Medicine, King S kDepartment of P California Los An Regione Campania relationships releva Manuscript rece itric oxide (NO) has been suggested to be a pathophysiological modulator of cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. In this context, NO can exert opposite effects under diverse conditions. Indeed, several ...
متن کاملEnhanced Cell Proliferation Induced by Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide (NO·) regulates multiple physiological functions including cell proliferation. The regulatory action of NO· on cell proliferation is exerted in a bimodal mode, enhancing and inhibiting the progression of the proliferative process depending on the actual concentration of NO· encountered by the cell. Although not all details are understood, the cytostatic action of NO·, when attained...
متن کاملNitric oxide is an essential negative regulator of cell proliferation in Xenopus brain.
Mechanisms controlling the transition of a neural precursor cell from proliferation to differentiation during brain development determine the distinct anatomical features of the brain. Nitric oxide (NO) may mediate such a transition, because it can suppress DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. We cloned the gene encoding the neuronal isoform of Xenopus NO synthase (XNOS) and found that in the ...
