Platelet Cyclic GMP
Background. The present study was designed to investigate the intracellular production of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in platelets in response to nitroglycerin and to determine the potential clinical value of platelet cGMP as an indicator of the effects of nitroglycerin and nitrate tolerance. Methods and Results. Platelet cGMP levels and the diameters of the coronary arteries before and 2 minutes after i...
متن کاملCyclic di-GMP stimulates protective innate immunity in bacterial pneumonia.
Innate immunity is the primary mechanism by which extracellular bacterial pathogens are effectively cleared from the lung. We have previously shown that cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP [c-diguanylate]) is a novel small molecule immunomodulator and immunostimulatory agent that triggers protective host innate immune responses. Using a murine model of bacterial pneumonia, we show that local intranasal (i....
متن کاملCyclic GMP-dependent Protein Kinase*
Cyclic GMP (cGMP) inhibits intracellular calcium ([Ca2+Ii) mobilization in vascular smooth muscle cells by a mechanism that is not well understood. Because several studies suggest that cGMP inhibits inositol 1,4,5trisphosphate (IP,) action, we examined the effects of cGMP-dependent protein kinase on IP, receptor phosphorylation. The purified IP, receptor was phosphorylated using either the cGMP...
متن کاملCyclic GMP and Cilia Motility
Motile cilia of the lungs respond to environmental challenges by increasing their ciliary beat frequency in order to enhance mucociliary clearance as a fundamental tenant of innate defense. One important second messenger in transducing the regulable nature of motile cilia is cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP). In this review, the history of cGMP action is presented and a survey of the ...
متن کاملRegulation of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype by cyclic GMP and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase.
This basic science review examines the role of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. The first such studies suggested a role for nitric oxide (NO) and atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP), and the downstream second messenger cGMP, in the inhibition of VSMC proliferation. Subsequently, many laboratories confirmed the anti-pro...
