NO is mainly generated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). Recent studies indicate that Ang II generates NO release, which modulates renal vascular resistance and sympathetic neurotransmission. Experiments in wild-type [eNOS(+/+) and nNOS(+/+)], eNOS deficient [eNOS(-/-)] and nNOS decficient [nNOS(-/-)] mice were performed to determine which NOS...
The aim of the study was to evaluate morphological features nNOS-positive (nNOS-IR) neurons in dorsolateral cortex frontal lobe cerebral hemispheres albino rats during 180 days postnatal development. Material and methods . performed on 40 outbred white Wistar different ages, from 1 days. object an area right hemisphere surface near pole (neocortex). On paraffin serial sections lobe, immunohisto...
Heat-shock protein 90 (hsp90) has been shown to facilitate neuronal NO synthase (nNOS, type 1) activity in vivo. But the direct effect of hsp90 on purified nNOS has not been determined yet. Moreover, the mechanism underlying the action of hsp90 is not known. nNOS activity is primarily initiated and regulated by the binding of Ca(2+)/calmodulin (CaM). Therefore, we explored whether hsp90 modulat...
OBJECTIVE We demonstrated recently that neuronal NO synthase (NOS) is expressed in arteriosclerotic lesions and exerts important vasculoprotective effects in vivo. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism(s) for vascular neuronal NOS (nNOS) expression. METHODS AND RESULTS In cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells, treatment with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) selectively upr...
Nitric-oxide synthase, a cytochrome P450-like hemoprotein enzyme, catalyzes the synthesis of nitric oxide, a critical signaling molecule in a variety of physiological processes. Our laboratory has discovered that certain drugs suicide-inactivate neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) and lead to the preferential ubiquitination of the inactivated nNOS by an Hsp70- and CHIP (C terminus of Hsc70-in...
Here, we show that a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) pseudogene is expressed in the CNS of the snail Lymnaea stagnalis. The pseudo-NOS transcript includes a region of significant antisense homology to a previously reported neuronal NOS (nNOS)-encoding mRNA. This suggested that the pseudo-NOS transcript acts as a natural antisense regulator of nNOS protein synthesis. In support of this, we show that...
A constitutive NOS complementary DNA (cDNA) was partially cloned by RT-PCR from the brain of a teleost, the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), using degenerate primers against conserved regions of NOS. The predicted 206-long amino acid sequence showed a high degree of identity with other vertebrate neuronal NOS (nNOS) protein sequences. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed that Nile t...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible changes of adrenal neuronal nitrite oxide synthase (nNOS) messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein of rats after deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt treatment. We determined adrenal nNOS expression in 12 vehicle-treated and 13 DOCA-salt-treated rats by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and multiplex RT-PCR methods. Adrenal nNOS was also ...
We assessed the effects of melatonin, N(1)-acetyl-N (2)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK) and N(1)-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK) on neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity in vitro and in rat striatum in vivo. Melatonin and AMK (10(-11)-10(-3) m), but not AFMK, inhibited nNOS activity in vitro in a dose-response manner. The IC(50) value for AMK (70 microm) was significantly lower than...
Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized in skeletal muscle by neuronal-type NO synthase (nNOS), which is localized to sarcolemma of fast-twitch fibers. Synthesis of NO in active muscle opposes contractile force. We show that nNOS partitions with skeletal muscle membranes owing to association of nNOS with dystrophin, the protein mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The dystrophin complex inter...
