EXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...

متن کاملAloe vera toxic effects: expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in testis of Wistar rat
Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera gel (AVG) on male Wistar rat reproductive organ, serum NO level, and expression of iNOS gene in leydig cells. Materials and Methods:Adult male Wistar rats (n=36) were used for experiments in three groups. The experim...
متن کاملInducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression in Human Airway Epithelial Cells
Human respiratory epithelium expresses inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) continuously in vivo, however mechanisms responsible for maintenance of expression are not known. We show that IFN g is sufficient for induction of iNOS in primary human airway epithelial cells (HAEC) in vitro, and IL-4 potentiates IFN g -induced iNOS expression in HAEC through stabilization of iNOS mRNA. IFN g /IL-4–...
متن کاملInducible nitric oxide synthase in a human glioblastoma cell line.
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was induced in the cytosol of A-172 cells by treatment with lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma. A 130-kDa human inducible NOS (iNOS) protein was detected with anti-rat iNOS antibody by western blot analysis. Northern blot analysis showed that the iNOS mRNA was approximately 4.5 kb, using a cDNA fragment for human iNOS, isol...
