The ability of the endothelium to produce nitric oxide is essential to maintenance of vascular homeostasis; disturbance of this ability is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of vascular disease. In vivo studies have demonstrated that expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is vital to endothelial function and have led to the understanding that eNOS expression is subject to m...
Tetrahydrobiopterin and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Uncoupling To the Editor: Gao et al1 reported that oral administration of folate, the tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B) precursor, attenuated endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) uncoupling in abdominal aortic aneurysm. The beneficial effects of H4B supplementation in endothelial dysfunction are beyond dispute, but in vivo demonstration of eNOS (un)co...
OBJECTIVE The protective effect of NO synthase-3 (eNOS)-derived NO in limiting myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury is well established. We reported previously that systemic genetic overexpression of eNOS attenuates MI-R injury. The purpose of the current study was to investigate tissue-specific genetic overexpression of the human eNOS gene. METHODS AND RESULTS To accomplish this, we...
PURPOSE Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), also acts as an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma; PPAR-γ). Several studies have explored the PPAR-γ-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) pathway associated with improvement of endothelial function by telmisartan. The ability of telmisartan to induce gene expression and protein level of eN...
AIMS To study the effect of prenatal glucocorticoid treatment on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression in rats with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS CDH was induced in fetal rats by the maternal administration of nitrofen on day 9.5 of gestation. Dexamethasone was administered on days 18.5 and 19.5 before delivery of the fetuses on days 20.5 and 21.5. Pulmonary eNO...
Although it is known that VEGF increases eNOS protein, the mechanisms responsible remain unclear. To determine if VEGF alters eNOS transcription, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were transfected with reporters under the control of the eNOS promoter and stimulated with VEGF165. VEGF significantly increased eNOS-mRNA after 2 hours exposure. VEGF significantly increased eNOS reporter activi...
OBJECTIVE Statins decrease mortality in patients with vascular disorders, and evidence for the pleiotropic effects of statins is accumulating. Statins enhance endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression, thereby attenuating platelet activation and thrombus formation. Our goal was to determine whether statins have eNOS-independent effects on platelet activation. METHODS AND RESULTS Wild-type and...
In the vasculature, nitric oxide (NO) is generated by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in a calcium/calmodulin-dependent reaction. In the absence of the requisite eNOS cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)), NADPH oxidation is uncoupled from NO generation, leading to the production of superoxide. Although this phenomenon is apparent with purified enzyme, cellular studies suggest that formation of t...
During pregnancy, VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) regulates in part endothelial angiogenesis and vasodilation. In the present study we examine the relative roles of VEGFRs (VEGF receptors) and associated signalling pathways mediating the effects of VEGF(165) on eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) activation. Despite equal expression levels of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 in UAECs (uterine...
Sorafenib may reduce endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGF-R), leading to a decrease in nitric oxide production. In the Italian multicenter ePHAS (eNOS polymorphisms in HCC and sorafenib) study, we analyzed the role of eNOS polymorphisms in relation to clinical outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) re...
