Arginase Inhibition Restores Peroxynitrite-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction via L-Arginine-Dependent Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Phosphorylation
PURPOSE Peroxynitrite plays a critical role in vascular pathophysiology by increasing arginase activity and decreasing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate whether arginase inhibition and L-arginine supplement could restore peroxynitrite-induced endothelial dysfunction and determine the involved mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHO...
متن کاملLeptin effect on endothelial nitric oxide is mediated through Akt-endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation pathway.
Recent evidence suggests that besides its action on the central nervous system, leptin can modulate vascular tone through local mechanisms involving nitric oxide (NO) release. In this study, using a fluorescent probe for direct determination of NO, we demonstrated both in endothelial cells and in vessels that leptin is able to stimulate NO release. The effect of leptin on NO is abolished by erb...
متن کاملCalmodulin phosphorylation and modulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase catalysis.
The endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is regulated by diverse protein kinase pathways, yet eNOS activity ultimately depends on the ubiquitous calcium regulatory protein calmodulin (CaM). In these studies, we establish that CaM itself undergoes phosphorylation in endothelial cells and that CaM phosphorylation attenuates eNOS activation. Using [(32)P]orthophosphoric acid biosynthetic labeling, we fo...
متن کاملAngiotensin II impairs endothelial function via tyrosine phosphorylation of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase
Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2) can be activated by angiotensin II (Ang II) and reactive oxygen species. We report that in endothelial cells, Ang II enhances the tyrosine phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in an AT(1)-, H(2)O(2)-, and PYK2-dependent manner. Low concentrations (1-100 micromol/liter) of H(2)O(2) stimulated the phosphorylation of eNOS Tyr657 without affecting ...
متن کاملProteasome inhibitor MG132 suppresses number and function of endothelial progenitor cells: involvement of nitric oxide synthase inhibition.
The aim of this study was to determine whether proteasome inhibitor MG132 treatment has any effect on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Total mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPCs were identified as adherent cells double positive for DiLDL-up-take and lectin binding by direct fluorescent demonstrated under a laser scannin...
