Nitric oxide inhibition of coxsackievirus replication in vitro.

Effect of Host Src-kinase Inhibition on Replication of Coxsackievirus B3 in vitro

Effect of Activation and Inhibition of Cellular PKR on Coxsackievirus B3 Replication

The ds-RNA activated protein kinase (PKR) is a serine-threonine kinase with MW of 68 KDa. It belongs to a family of kinases that control one of the translational initiation factors, eIF2. PKR is produced at high level in response to viral infection. This protein by phosphorylating eIF2 inhibits cellular protein synthesis. In this study, the effect of gamma interferon (IFN-γ), an activator, and ...

P-90: The Effect of Nitric Oxide on Mouse Oocyte in Vitro Maturation in Two and Three Dimensional Conditions

Background: In vitro culture of ovarian follicles may preserve fertility in women with premature ovarian failure due to cancer .It seems that creation a condition that could maintain cellular communications and supports growth of follicles to produce mature oocytes appear to be essential. Nitric oxide (NO) has been recently shown to act with a dual action in mouse oocyte meiotic maturation depe...

Nitric oxide radical suppresses replication of wild-type dengue 2 viruses in vitro.

Nitric oxide is well accepted as one of the defenses for inhibiting viral dissemination. Macrophages and cells in the macrophage lineage are professional nitric oxide producers which sub-serve as target for dengue virus. The interaction between nitric oxide and dengue virus in such target cell is unknown. In this report, the impact of nitric oxide on infectious dengue virus serotype 2 productio...

Role of matrix metalloproteinase II on analgesic effect of nitric oxide inhibition in rat

Abstract Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 is one of the inflammatory mediators that is involved in nociceptive processing and its production is regulated by many inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide. We studied the role of MMP-2 on the analgesic effects of nNOS inhibitor. Methods: Considering that nitric oxide has many roles in pain processing, we studied the CSF levels of MMP-2 ...
