Animal studies have suggested that nitric oxide (NO) synthases (NOS) play a role in the regulation of protein metabolism in endotoxemia. We therefore investigated the role of inducible NOS (NOS2) on intestinal protein and neuronal NOS (NOS1) and endothelial NOS (NOS3) on amino acid metabolism. Three groups of mice were studied: 1) wild-type (WT), 2) NOS2 knockout (NOS2-KO), and 3) NOS2-KO + N(o...
Hemorrhagic stroke caused leakage of red blood cells which converts to hemoglobin, heme, and iron accumulated at the lesions. High concentration of ferrous iron from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) induced cerebral vasospasm. Using the two-hemorrhage SAH model in rats, we previously demonstrated that estradiol (E2) significantly attenuated the SAH-induced vasospasm by inhibiting the NOS2 expressi...
The aberrant dysregulation of the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) is thought to play a role in many inflammatory disorders including cystic fibrosis (CF). The complex regulation of NOS2 expression is the subject of intense investigation, and one intriguing regulatory pathway known to influence NOS2 expression is the Rho GTPase cascade. We examined NOS2 regulation in response to i...
BACKGROUND The factors contributing to chronic Chagas' heart disease remain unknown. High nitric oxide (NO) levels have been shown to be associated with cardiomyopathy severity in patients. Further, NO produced via inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS/NOS2) is proposed to play a role in Trypanosoma cruzi control. However, the participation of iNOS/NOS2 and NO in T. cruzi control and heart inju...
Malignant gliomas are aggressive brain tumors with limited therapeutic options, and improvements in treatment require a deeper molecular understanding of this disease. As in other cancers, recent studies have identified highly tumorigenic subpopulations within malignant gliomas, known generally as cancer stem cells. Here, we demonstrate that glioma stem cells (GSCs) produce nitric oxide via ele...
Progressive disease in the hamster model of visceral leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania donovani, in contrast to infection in mice, mimics the progressive disease observed in untreated humans. During progressive infection in hamsters, there was a vigorous type 1 cellular immune response, which is typically associated with control of infection, suggesting that there was ineffective IFN-gamma-me...
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies and is refractory to the available treatments. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) expresses high level of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2), which causes sustained production of nitric oxide (NO). We tested the hypothesis that an aberrantly increased NO-release enhances the development and progression of PDAC. Enhanced NOS2 expr...
It was previously reported that female mice resolve a primary Chlamydia trachomatis urogenital infection independent of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). We now report that although iNOS-deficient (NOS2(-/-)) mice resolve culture-apparent infection in a fashion similar to that of normal control (NOS2(+/+)) mice, they sustain significantly increased rates of disease, as assessed by hydrosa...
γδ T cells play critical roles in host defense against infections and cancer. Although advances have been made in identifying γδ TCR ligands, it remains essential to understand molecular mechanisms responsible for in vivo expansion of γδ T cells in periphery. Recent findings identified the expression of the inducible NO synthase (NOS2) in lymphoid cells and highlighted novel immunoregulatory fu...
OBJECTIVE Patients over 60 years of age have higher mortality and morbidity after major liver resections. Nitric oxide (NO) derived from the catalytic activity of Nos2 plays a beneficial role in liver regeneration (LR) after partial hepatectomy (PH). In this experiment, we evaluated the effect of Nos2 knockout (KO) on LR in aged mice after PH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study,...
