Regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in advanced glycation end product-stimulated raw 264.7 cells: the role of heme oxygenase-1 and endogenous nitric oxide.

چکیده
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are closely linked to the development of diabetic atherosclerosis. The current study examines the induction of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) and heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression by AGEs, as well as the signaling pathways involved and the interplay between these two enzymes. The stimulation of RAW 264.7 cells with 6.64 or 33.2 microg/ml AGEs leads to HO-1 protein expression, iNOS protein expression, and nitrite accumulation. AGEs lead to the phosphorylation of p42/44 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The inhibition of p42/44 MAPK and protein kinase C prevented, whereas inhibition of p38 MAPK augmented, AGE-induced nitrite release and iNOS expression. In contrast, HO-1 expression was downregulated by inhibition of p38 MAPK. Furthermore, the expression of both proteins was prevented by coincubation with acetovanillone (NADPH oxidase inhibitor). AGE-induced iNOS expression was negatively regulated by stimulation of HO-1 expression with cadmium chloride or endogenous NO. Tin-protoporphyrin IX (HO-1 inhibitor) partially reversed the cadmium chloride-mediated downregulation of iNOS expression. The current study demonstrates that multiple signaling molecules are involved in AGE-stimulated iNOS and HO-1 expression. There also exists a downregulation of iNOS by its own product as well as the products of HO-1.

The reaction between reducing sugars and protein free amines, known as the Maillar reaction results in the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). AGE modification changes the structure of proteins to amyloid cross-beta structure. These protein structures can activate receptors known as RAGE on glial cells (microglia and astrocytes), and induce the expression of inducible nitric oxi...

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...
