Comparison of effects of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors on plasma nitrite/nitrate levels and tissue NOS activity in septic organs

An excessive production of nitric oxide (NO) by NO synthase (NOS) is considered to contribute to circulatory disturbance, tissue damage, and refractory hypotention, which are often observed in septic disorders. It is anticipated that a selective inducible NOS (iNOS) inhibitor with excellent pharmacokinetics may be potentially effective as a novel and potent therapeutic intervention in sepsis. We examined whether or not a selective iNOS inhibitor shows iNOS selectivity at the tissue level, when administered systemically. The effects of four NOS inhibitors on plasma nitrite/nitrate (NOx) and tissue NOS levels were compared in major organs (lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, and brain) 6 hr after the injection of E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into male Wistar-King rats. The rats treated with the three iNOS inhibitors (N-(3-(aminomethyl)benzyl)acetamidine (1400W), (1 S, 5 S, 6 R, 7 R )-2-aza-7-chloro-3-imino-5-methylbicyclo [4.1.0] heptane hydrochloride (ONO-1714), and aminoguanidine) administered 1 hr after LPS injection, showed dose-dependent decreases in plasma NOx levels and NOS activity in the lungs. The non-selective NOS inhibitor (N(G)-methyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA)) had an effect only at the maximum dose. The differences in in vitro iNOS selectivity among these drugs did not correlate with iNOS selectivity at the tissue level. The relationship between plasma NOx levels and NOS activity in the lungs showed a linear relationship with or without the NOS inhibitors. In conclusion, the iNOS selectivity of these drugs does not seem to differ at the tissue level. Plasma NOx levels may be a useful indicator of lung NOS activity.     

Fluorocitrate,an Inhibitor of Glial Metabolism,Inhibits the Up-Regulation of NOS Expression,Activity and NO Production in the Spinal Cord Induced by Formalin Test in Rats

Previous experiments have suggested that nitric oxide plays an important role in nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord. In order to explore the involvement of glia in the NO-mediated nociceptive transmission, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of fluorocitrate (FC), an inhibitor of glial metabolism, on NOS expression and activity and NO production in the spinal cord during the process of peripheral inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia induced by formalin test in rats. Sixty adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned into sham, formalin, formalin + normal saline (NS), and formalin + FC groups. The NOS expression, NOS activity and NO production was detected by NADPH-d histochemistry staining, NOS and NO assay kit, respectively. It was found that formalin test significantly up-regulated NOS expression and activity and NO production in the laminae I–II of the dorsal horn and the grey matter around the central canal in the lumbar spinal cord at 1 h after the formalin test. Selective inhibition of glia metabolism with intrathecal administration of FC (1 nmol) significantly inhibited the up-regulation in NOS expression and activity and NO production normally induced by the formalin test, which was represented with decreases in the number and density of the NADPH-d positive cells in the dorsal horn and grey matter around the central canal, and decrease in density of NADPH-d positive neuropil in the dorsal horn in formalin + FC group compared with formalin group. The results suggested that glia may be involved in the NO-mediated nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord. X.-C. Sun, W.-N. Chen and S.-Q. Li contributed equally to this work.     

青藤碱对吗啡依赖与戒断小鼠小脑与脊髓NO/nNOS系统的影响

本文旨在探讨青藤碱对吗啡依赖与戒断小鼠的小脑和胸腰段脊髓中一氧化氮（nitric oxide,NO）／神经元型一氧化氮合酶（neural nitric oxide synthase,nNOS）系统的影响及作用机制。采用吗啡剂量递增法建立小鼠吗啡依赖模型,用纳洛酮激发戒断症状,评价小鼠急性戒断时齿颤、扭体、直立、喷嚏、眼睑下垂等戒断症状,对成瘾小鼠用青藤碱（40mg／kg,i．P．）治疗后,再用纳洛酮激发观察戒断症状。半定量RT—PCR检测小鼠小脑和胸腰段脊髓nNOS mRNA表达变化,化学比色法和硝酸还原酶法分别测定小鼠小脑和胸腰段脊髓组织匀浆的nNOS活性与NO含量。结果显示：（1）青藤碱可以扭转由吗啡依赖引起的小鼠体重下降的趋势,减轻小鼠急性戒断时齿颤、扭体、直立、喷嚏、眼睑下垂等戒断症状;（2）青藤碱可降低小鼠吗啡依赖与戒断时在小脑与胸腰段脊髓中异常上调的nNOS mRNA水平,使酶活性下降到接近对照组水平。nNOS催化产生的NO含量与酶活性的变化一致;（3）单独使用青藤碱,小鼠没有出现类似吗啡引起的戒断症状,小脑与胸腰段脊髓中nNOS mRNA水平及酶活性没有异常升高。上述结果表明,青藤碱本身无成瘾性,但能显著减轻吗啡依赖小鼠的戒断征状,其作用机制可能与青藤碱影响小脑与脊髓中的NO／nNOS系统有关。     

Cyclosporin-A Inhibits Constitutive Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity and Neuronal and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Expressions after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in the pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI). NO is produced by three types of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes: The constitutive Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) isoforms, and the inducible calcium-independent isoform (iNOS). During the early stages of SCI, nNOS and eNOS produce significant amounts of NO, therefore, the regulation of their activity and expression may participate in the damage after SCI. In the present study, we used Cyclosporin-A (CsA) to further substantiate the role of Ca-dependent NOS in neural responses associated to SCI. Female Wistar rats were subjected to SCI by contusion, and killed 4 h after lesion. Results showed an increase in the activity of constitutive NOS (cNOS) after lesion, inhibited by CsA (2.5 mg/kg i.p.). Western blot assays showed an increased expression of both nNOS and eNOS after trauma, also antagonized by CsA administration.
