An emerging role for endothelial nitric oxide synthase in chronic inflammation and cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical that is involved in carcinogenesis. Recent literature indicates that endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) can modulate cancer-related events (angiogenesis, apoptosis, cell cycle, invasion, and metastasis). We review the literature linking eNOS to carcinogenesis to encourage future research assessing the role of eNOS in cancer prevention and treatment.

Background: This is a case-control study to determine the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene -786T/C polymorphism in women with unexplaiend recurrent abortion in comparison with healty women.Materials and Methods: 95 women with history of at least 2 unexplaiend recurrent abortion in the reproductive age range 20-35 years as patients group and 95 healty women (age...
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 کاملAttenuation of vasoconstrictor response of knee joint blood vessels to (αl- adrenoceptor activation during chronic monoarthritis in rat: The role of nitric oxide
The effect of chronic inflammation induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) on anterior blood vessels of knee joint and its diameter was studied. Blood flow changes in response to phenylephrine (αl-adrenoceptor agonist) in CFA-treated and contralateral knee joints were observed over a 40-day period, using laser Doppler flowmetery (LDF) technique. Unilateral injection of CFA (0.2 ml) increase...
متن کاملAssociation between T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and level of the vessel dilation factor in patients with coronary artery disease
Various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOs) gene cause reduced production of NO, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C polymorphism of the eNOs gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) in north-west of Iran. One hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...
