Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) contributes importantly to septic pulmonary protein leak in mice with septic acute lung injury (ALI). However, the role of alveolar macrophage (AM) iNOS in septic ALI is not known. Thus we assessed the specific effects of AM iNOS in murine septic ALI through selective AM depletion (via intratracheal instillation of clodronate liposomes) and subsequent AM r...
ischemia reperfusion injury (ir injury) is a common problem in clinical conditions. researches have frequently revealed that atp- sensitive potassium (katp) channels and nitric oxide plays a role in protection against ischemic injury in skeletal muscle. the present study aimed at evaluating the possible link between this two pathways. sixty-eight male wistar rats, were pretreated with saline, d...
Activated mouse peritoneal macrophages produce nitric oxide (NO) via a nitric oxide synthase that is inducible by interferon gamma (IFN-gamma): iNOS. We have studied the mechanisms by which transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta) suppresses IFN-gamma-stimulated NO production. TGF-beta treatment reduced iNOS specific activity and iNOS protein in both cytosolic and particulate fractions as a...
Overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many disorders. iNOS is notably distinguished from constitutive NOSs by its production of large amounts of NO for a prolonged period; hence, it was termed the high-output NOS. Understanding how cells regulate iNOS is a prerequisite for strategies aimed at modulating NO synthe...
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) participates in many pathological events, and selective inhibition of iNOS has been shown to reduce ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in different tissues. To further confirm its role in this injury process, I/R injury was observed in denervated cremaster muscles of iNOS-deficient (iNOS-/-) and wild-type mice. After 3-h ischemia and 90-min reperfusion, blo...
OBJECTIVE Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is expressed in arteries during inflammation and may contribute to vascular dysfunction. Effects of gene transfer of iNOS to carotid arteries were examined in vitro in the absence of systemic inflammation to allow examination of mechanisms by which iNOS impairs contraction and relaxation. METHODS AND RESULTS After gene transfer of iNOS with an ...
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme that produces toxic amounts of nitric oxide, is expressed in a number of brain pathologies, including cerebral ischemia. We used mice with a null mutation of the iNOS gene to study the role of iNOS in ischemic brain damage. Focal cerebral ischemia was produced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). In wild-type mice, iNOS mRNA express...
The extent to which endogenously generated nitric oxide alters Na(+) transport across the mammalian alveolar epithelium in vivo has not been documented. Herein we measured alveolar fluid clearance and nasal potential differences in mice lacking the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase [iNOS; iNOS(-/-)] and their corresponding wild-type controls [iNOS(+/+)]. Alveolar fluid clearance values in...
BACKGROUND The inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) may be involved in the mucosal injury associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In contrast with iNOS, the inducible heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is considered to act as a protective antioxidant system. AIMS To evaluate the effects of the known HO-1 inducers, cadmium and bismuth salts, heme, and nitric oxide (NO) donors, on i...
Of the individuals with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, 20-30% will develop the neurological complication of HIV-associated dementia (HAD). The mechanisms underlying HAD are unknown; however, indirect immunologically mediated mechanisms are theorized to play a role. Recently, the HIV-1 coat protein gp41 has been implicated as a major mediator of HAD through induction of n...
