Deficiency in endothelial nitric oxide synthase impairs myocardial angiogenesis.
We recently demonstrated that mice deficient in endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) have congenital septal defects and postnatal heart failure. However, the mechanisms by which eNOS affects heart development are not clear. We hypothesized that deficiency in eNOS impairs myocardial angiogenesis. Myocardial capillary densities were measured morphometrically in neonatal mouse hearts. In ...
متن کاملTumor Growth and Metastasis Gene Disruption on Nitric Oxide Synthase II Influence of Updated Version
The relationship between nitric oxide (NO) synthase II (NOS II) expression and the metastatic ability of tumor cells is inconclusive. We determined the role of host NOS II expression in the growth and metastasis of the B16-BL6 murine melanoma and M5076 murine ovarian sarcoma cell lines. The cells were either s.c. or i.v. injected into syngeneic wild-type (NOS II) and NOS II-null (NOS II) C57BL/...

We determined the role of host NOS II expression in the growth and metastasis of the B16-BL6 murine melanoma and M5076 murine ovarian sarcoma cell lines.

متن کاملNitric oxide synthase II gene disruption: implications for tumor growth and vascular endothelial growth factor production.
The expression of a primary initiator of tumor angiogenic responses, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), may be induced by nitric oxide (NO) in carcinoma cells. However, the net impact of NO on carcinogenesis remains unclear, because manipulation of NO levels has been shown to either stimulate or inhibit tumor growth. We have investigated the relationship between inducible NO synthase (N...
متن کاملAssociation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a large range of processes, and abnormality in the production of NO has been implicated in diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). G894T polymorphism in the eNOS gene has been shown to decreased activity the NO levels of plasma. The association between eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and DN ri...
