Nitric oxide and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional biomolecule involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including regulation of blood vessel dilatation and anti-arteriosclerotic effects. However, a large amount of NO is toxic to the host and causes several diseases such as apoptosis, septic shock, and diabetes mellitus. Inducible-form NO synthase is induced in inflammatory disease...
متن کاملRegulation of mitochondrial function and endoplasmic reticulum stress by nitric oxide in pluripotent stem cells
Mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) are global processes that are interrelated and regulated by several stress factors. Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional biomolecule with many varieties of physiological and pathological functions, such as the regulation of cytochrome c inhibition and activation of the immune response, ERS and DNA damage; these actions are dose-...
متن کاملEndoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Sensing Mechanism Is Activated in Entamoeba histolytica upon Treatment with Nitric Oxide
The Endoplasmic Reticulum stores calcium and is a site of protein synthesis and modification. Changes in ER homeostasis lead to stress responses with an activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). The Entamoeba histolytica endomembrane system is simple compared to those of higher eukaryotes, as a canonical ER is not observed. During amoebiasis, an infection of the human intestine and liv...
متن کاملNitric oxide-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells is mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway.
Excessive nitric oxide (NO) production in cytokine-activated beta cells has been implicated in beta cell disruption in type 1 diabetes. beta cells are very vulnerable to NO-induced apoptosis. However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is unclear. Low concentrations of NO that lead to apoptosis apparently do not cause severe DNA damage in mouse MIN6 beta cells. CHOP, a C/EBP homologous pr...
متن کاملProtective role for nitric oxide during the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in pancreatic beta-cells.
Higher requirements for disulfide bond formation in professional secretory cells may affect intracellular redox homeostasis, particularly during an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. To assess this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of the ER stress response on the major redox couple (GSH/GSSG), endogenous ROS production, expression of genes involved in ER oxidative protein foldin...
