S-nitrosothiol repletion by an inhaled gas regulates pulmonary function.
NO synthases are widely distributed in the lung and are extensively involved in the control of airway and vascular homeostasis. It is recognized, however, that the O(2)-rich environment of the lung may predispose NO toward toxicity. These Janus faces of NO are manifest in recent clinical trials with inhaled NO gas, which has shown therapeutic benefit in some patient populations but increased mo...
متن کاملRapid S-nitrosothiol metabolism by platelets and megakaryocytes.
RSNOs (S-nitrosothiols) regulate platelet and megakaryocyte function, and may act in vivo as a nitric oxide reservoir. There is a discrepancy between the spontaneous rate of NO release from different RSNO compounds and their pharmacological effects, implying that target cells may mediate biological activity either by metabolism of RSNOs or by displaying cell surface receptors. In the present st...
متن کاملAn S-nitrosothiol (SNO) synthase function of hemoglobin that utilizes nitrite as a substrate.
Red blood cells (RBCs) act as O(2)-responsive transducers of vasodilator and vasoconstrictor activity in lungs and tissues by regulating the availability of nitric oxide (NO). Vasodilation by RBCs is impaired in diseases characterized by hypoxemia. We have proposed that the extent to which RBCs constrict vs. dilate vessels is, at least partly, controlled by a partitioning between NO bound to he...
متن کاملS-nitrosothiol depletion in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Recent data suggest that either excessive or deficient levels of protein S-nitrosylation may contribute to disease. Disruption of S-nitrosothiol (SNO) homeostasis may result not only from altered nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity but also from alterations in the activity of denitrosylases that remove NO groups. A subset of patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have mutati...
متن کاملIdentifying single S-nitrosothiol sites with cardioprotection.
I schemia/reperfusion injury contributes to heart damage in coronary artery disease through the production by mitochondria of deleterious reactive oxygen species. Nitric oxide bioactivity ameliorates ischemia/reperfusion injury by suppressing reactive oxygen species production. A study recently published in Nature Medicine reports that administration of a mitochondrially targeted S-nitrosothiol...
