Nitric oxide synthase activity and mRNA expression in chicken macrophages.
The activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzyme was quantified in chicken macrophages. Macrophages from Cornell K-strain (B15B15), GB1 (B13B13), and GB2 (B6B6) chickens and a transformed cell line (MQ-NCSU) were incubated with or without varying concentrations of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The culture supernatants were tested for the presence of nitrite. Macrophages from ...
متن کاملcGMP-mediated negative-feedback regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression by nitric oxide.
Earlier studies have demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) exerts a fast-acting inhibitory influence on endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) enzymatic activity in isolated vascular tissue preparations. The present study was designed to examine the possible effect of NO on eNOS protein expression in cultured endothelial cells and intact animals. Human coronary endothelial cells were incubated with S-nit...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...
متن کاملRegulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene expression by oxidized linoleic acid.
Hypercholesterolemia is associated with impairments in endothelium-dependent vascular relaxations. Paradoxically, endothelial production of nitrogen oxides is increased in early stages of hypercholesterolemia. Prior work has shown that oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) has both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression (eNOS) and has focused on lyso...
متن کاملFasting-induced intestinal apoptosis is mediated by inducible nitric oxide synthase and interferon-{gamma} in rat.
Nitric oxide (NO) is associated with intestinal apoptosis in health and disease. This study aimed to investigate the role of intestinal NO in the regulation of apoptosis during fasting in rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups and subcutaneously injected with saline (SA) or aminoguanidine (AG), followed by fasting for 24, 48, 60, and 72 h. At each time point, the jejunum was subjec...
