Retinal neurotoxicity of nitric oxide donors with different half-life of nitric oxide release: involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor.
We compared the degree of neurotoxic outcome in the retina exposed to three nitric oxide (NO) donors with different half-life of NO release. Intravitreal injection of NO donors resulted in a significant decrease in cell density in the ganglion cell layer and thinning of the inner plexiform layer in a half-life time-dependent manner. Concurrent injection of an NO-trapping reagent with an NO dono...
متن کاملN-methyl-aspartate receptor and neuronal nitric oxide synthase activation mediate bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity.
Hyperbilirubinemia may lead to neurotoxicity and neuronal death. Although the mechanisms of nerve cell damage by unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) appear to involve a disruption of the redox status and excitotoxicity, the contribution of nitric oxide (NO·) and of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors is unclear. We investigated the role of NO· and NMDA glutamate receptors in the pathways o...
متن کاملNitric oxide mediates N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-induced activation of p21ras.
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor-mediated increases in intracellular calcium are thought to play a critical role in synaptic plasticity. The mechanisms by which changes in cytoplasmic calcium transmit the glutamate signal to the nucleus, which is ultimately important for long-lasting neuronal responses, are poorly understood. We show that NMDA receptor stimulation leads to activat...
متن کاملN-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor-Dependent Denitrosylation of Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Increase the Enzyme Activity
Our laboratory once reported that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) S-nitrosylation was decreased in rat hippocampus during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, but the underlying mechanism was unclear. In this study, we show that nNOS activity is dynamically regulated by S-nitrosylation. We found that overexpressed nNOS in HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) cells could be S-nitrosylated by exogenou...
متن کاملN-methyl-D-aspartate-induced vasodilation is mediated by endothelium-independent nitric oxide release in piglets.
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) elicits pial arteriolar dilation that has been associated with neuronal nitric oxide (NO) production. However, endothelial factors or glial P-450 epoxygenase products may play a role. We tested whether NMDA-induced pial vasodilation 1) primarily involves NO diffusion from the parenchyma to the surface arterioles, 2) involves intact endothelial function, and 3) involv...
