چکیده

There are conflicting reports about the role of nitric oxide in the down-regulation of cytochrome P450 that occurs when animals or cultured hepatocytes are exposed to inflammatory stimuli. Here, we investigated the participation of NO in the down-regulation of CYP2B1 by bacterial endotoxin (LPS) in rat hepatocytes cultured on Matrigel. LPS caused the down-regulation of CYP2B1 mRNA to 20% of control values within 12 h of treatment, and this was not reversed by concentrations of NO synthase inhibitors that completely blocked NO production. LPS was several orders of magnitude more potent in the down-regulation of CYP2B1 mRNA than in induction of NO production. In contrast, concentrations of LPS in the 1 to 100 ng/ml range induced NO production and produced a rapid down-regulation of CYP2B1 protein to 30% and <5% of control at 6 and 24 h, respectively, that could be completely prevented both by inhibitors of NO synthase and by LY83583, which prevents NO synthase-2 induction. The blockade of CYP2B1 down-regulation by NO synthase inhibitors was reversed by arginine, and the NO donors S-nitrosoglutathione and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine mimicked CYP2B1 protein suppression. Taken together, these experiments demonstrate two independent mechanisms of CYP2B1 down-regulation by LPS: a rapid, NO-dependent suppression of the protein occurring at high concentrations of LPS and a slower, NO-independent pretranslational suppression occurring at low concentrations of LPS.

Nephrotoxicity of Isosorbide Dinitrate and Cholestasis in Rat: The Possible Role of Nitric Oxide

Background: Nitric oxide (NO), a major chemical form of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and an important regulator of vascular tone, is released by endothelial cells. The role of NO is not restricted to the vascular system, and it participates in the regulation of renal hemodynamics and renal excretory function. There are increasing evidences indicating that the elevated levels of NO play a...

SUPPRESSION OF VLDL-TRIACYLGLYCEROL SECRETION B Y BOTH α AND β-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONISTS IN ISOLATED RAT HEPATOCYTES

The effects of alpha and beta-adrenergic stimulation on triacylglycerol secretion were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Epinephrine within 3h of incubation suppressed triacylglycerol secretion by 35% and increased its cellular content by 18%. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was abolished by inclusion of phentolamine and also prazosin but not with propranolol. Trifluoperazine c...

Objective(s): Pathophysiology of sepsis-associated renal failure (one of the most common cause of death in intensive care units) had not been fully determined. The effect of nitric oxide and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways in isolated kidney of Lipopolysaccharide-treated (LPS) rats were investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: Vascular responsiveness to phenylephrine and acetylcholine...

Acute and chronic effects of lithium on BDNF and GDNF mRNA and protein levels in rat primary neuronal, astroglial and neuroastroglia cultures

Objective(s):Theneuroprotective effect of lithium has been attributed to its therapeutic action. However, the role of glial cells particularly astrocytes, and the possible interactions between neurons and astrocytes in neuroprotective effects of lithium have been disregarded. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the direct effects of lithium on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) an...

Dual mechanisms of CYP3A protein regulation by proinflammatory cytokine stimulation in primary hepatocyte cultures.

Whereas many cytochrome P450 enzymes are transcriptionally suppressed by inflammatory stimuli, down-regulation of CYP2B protein by the inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta is nitric oxide (NO)-dependent and occurs via polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Here, we used iTRAQ proteomic analysis to search for other proteins that are potentially down-regulated by cellular NO in c...
