Impaired Nitric Oxide-dependent Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate

چکیده
Nitric oxide (NO)-dependent cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) generation was examined in glomeruli isolated from 1-2-wk and 2-mo streptozotocin diabetic (D) and control (C) rats. After 1-2 wk of diabetes, ex vivo basal cGMP generation and cGMP responses to carbamylcholine (CCh) were significantly suppressed in glomeruli from D compared with those from C, whereas cGMP responses to the calcium ionophore A23187 and nitroprusside (NP) did not differ in glomeruli from D vs. those from C. After 2 mo, glomeruli from D did not respond to CCh, and responses to A23187 and NP were suppressed compared with those from C. Differences in basal, CCh, and A23187-responsive cGMP between D and C were abolished by the NO synthetase inhibitor NG-monomethyl-Larginine. Soluble glomerular guanylate cyclase prepared from either D or C responded indistinguishably to NP, suggesting a role for NO quenching in the suppression of cGMP in intact glomeruli from D. Compared with those from C, glomeruli isolated from D demonstrated increased generation of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Both the TXA2/endoperoxide receptor antagonist Bay U3405 and inhibitors ofPKC activity restored a cGMP response to CCh in glomeruli from D. Conversely, in glomeruli from C, the TXA2/ endoperoxide analogue U46619 activated PKC and suppressed the cGMP response to CCh. Both ofthose actions were blocked by inhibitors ofPKC. The results indicate a progressive impairment of NO-dependent cGMP generation in glomeruli from D which may be mediated in part by TXA2 and activation of PKC. This impairment may participate in glomerular injury in diabetes. (J. Clin. Invest. 1994. 93:311-320.)

In this study, we aimed to investigate the peripheral antinociception effects of specificphosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor vardenafil on carrageenan-induced nociception in rats,and the role of calcium besides the L-arginine- nitric oxide (NO)- cyclic guanosine monophophate(cGMP) pathway in these effects. Hyperalgesia was induced by the intraplantar injection of 0.1mL fresh carrageenan solut...

Although there are some data concerning the nitric oxide and the cyclic 3'-5'guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway in trypanosomatids, there is no report about the cGMP-dependent enzymatic activity identification. In this sense, a cGMP dependent activity was detected on soluble fraction from Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes with a high metacyclic level. This information is valuab...
متن کاملInhaled nitric oxide decreases pulmonary soluble guanylate cyclase protein levels in 1-month-old lambs.
BACKGROUND Inhaled nitric oxide produces potent pulmonary vasodilation by activating soluble guanylate cyclase and increasing smooth muscle cell concentrations of cyclic guanosine monophosphate. However, responses are often nonsustained, and clinically significant increases in pulmonary vascular resistance have been noted on its acute withdrawal. In vitro and in vivo data suggest that inhaled n...

Nitric oxide and prostacyclin. Divergence of inhibitory effects on monocyte chemotaxis and adhesion to endothelium in vitro.
Monocyte-endothelial interactions are of fundamental importance in determining the movement of monocytes from the blood stream into the vessel wall. This study reports that two endothelium-derived factors, nitric oxide and prostacyclin, alter in vitro monocyte behavior. Nitric oxide (greater than 10(-5) M) inhibited monocyte adhesion to porcine aortic endothelial cell monolayers, whereas prosta...
