Flow-mediated release of nitric oxide from lymphatic endothelial cells of pressurized canine thoracic duct.
We examined the effects of flow on lymphatic endothelial cells by using conventional cascade preparations of isolated coronary arteries without intact endothelium. The pressurized thoracic ducts were intraluminally perfused at a constant flow rate ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 ml/min. A linear relationship was observed between the flow rate and the normalized amount of relaxing substance(s) released ...
متن کاملShear stress-induced ATP-mediated endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase expression in human lymphatic endothelial cells.
To clarify the roles of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) in the regulation of endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) expression, we examined the effects of shear stress on ecNOS immunohistochemical staining and mRNA and protein expression in human LEC as well as on ATP release from these cells. Shear stress at 0.5 or 1.0 dyn/cm(2) increased ecNOS immunohistochemical staining an...
متن کاملReduced perivascular PO2 increases nitric oxide release from endothelial cells.
Many studies have suggested that endothelial cells can act as "oxygen sensors" to large reductions in oxygen availability by increasing nitric oxide (NO) production. This study determined whether small reductions in oxygen availability enhanced NO production from in vivo intestinal arterioles, venules, and parenchymal cells. In vivo measurements of perivascular NO concentration ([NO]) were made...
متن کاملFlow-mediated vasodilation partially reflects nitric oxide-mediated endothelial function.
To the Editor: In this Point:Counterpoint series, Green and Tschakovsky and Pyke address the issue of whether flowmediated dilation (FMD) reflects nitric oxide (NO)-mediated endothelial function (1). However, this question is difficult to answer. It has been conclusively shown that FMD of the brachial artery after 5 min of wrist cuff occlusion can be entirely abolished by the NO synthase (NOS) ...
متن کاملThoracic duct embolization, unexplained thoracic duct occlusions, and lymphatic anomalies.
I read with interest the article by Nadolski and Itkin 1 in CHEST (January 2013) on thoracic duct embolization (TDE) for nonmixed GGO lesions (80%). 5 Moreover, the sensitivity is lower for smaller lesions (35%-67% for those 10 mm) than larger lesions. 4 , 5 False-negative rates were reported to be about 20% to 30%. 3 , 5 The rate of concordance between core needle and surgical biopsies in m...
