Hypothesis / aims of study The use of polypropylene mesh to repair urinary incontinence and vaginal prolapse has decreased the recurrence of these conditions. However, it has also been related to specific complications such as vaginal erosions (1). Nitric oxide (NO) can modulate angiogenesis, vasodilation and fibroblastic reaction (2). We studied the effect of a NO donor (S-nitrosoglutathione G...

Aberrant GAPDH expression following S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) treatment was compared in HepG2 cells, which express functional p53, and Hep3B cells, which lack functional p53. The results of Western blotting and fluorescent immunocytochemistry revealed that nuclear translocation and accumulation of GAPDH occur in both HepG2 and Hep3B cells. This finding suggests that p53 may not be necessary f...

Treatment of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate - dehydrogenase (GA (GAPDH) with the NO donors S-nitrosoglutathione, 3-morpholinosydnonimine or diethylamine NONOate (diethylamine diazeniumdiolate) in vitro, inhibited its dehydrogenase activity and induced its acyl phosphatase activity. NO-producing cells, in turn, exhibited reduced GAPDH activity, increased glycolysis, and decreased ATP content, synthe...

The data described in this article is the subject of an article in the American Journal of Physiology: Cell Physiology, titled "The Human Uterine Smooth Muscle S-nitrosoproteome Fingerprint in Pregnancy, Labor, and Preterm Labor" (doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00198.2013) (Ulrich et al., 2013) [1]. The data described is a large scale mass spectrometry data set that defines the human uterine smooth muscle...
