Endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) controls oxygen consumption by inhibiting cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal electron acceptor of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The oxygen-binding site of the enzyme is an iron/copper (haem a3/CuB) binuclear centre. At high substrate (ferrocytochrome c) concentrations, NO binds reversibly to the reduced iron in competition with oxygen. At low substrate concentrations, NO binds to the oxidized copper. Inhibition at the haem iron site is relieved by dissociation of the NO from the reduced iron. Inhibition at the copper site is relieved by oxidation of the bound NO and subsequent dissociation of nitrite from the enzyme. Therefore, NO can be a substrate, inhibitor or effector of cytochrome oxidase, depending on cellular conditions. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO), a non-charged, small, gaseous free-radical, is a signaling molecule in all plant cells. Several studies have proposed multifarious physiological roles for NO, from seed germination to plant maturation and senescence. Nitric oxide is thought to act as an antioxidant, quenching ROS during oxidative stress and reducing lipid peroxidation. NO also mediates photosynthesis and stomatal conductance and regulates programmed cell death, thus providing tolerance to abiotic stress. In mitochondria, NO participates in the electron transport pathway. Nitric oxide synthase and nitrate reductase are the key enzymes involved in NO-biosynthesis in aerobic plants, but non-enzymatic pathways have been reported as well. Nitric oxide can interact with a broad range of molecules, leading to the modification of protein activity, GSH biosynthesis, S-nitrosylation, peroxynitrite formation, proline accumulation, etc., to sustain stress tolerance. In addition to these interactions, NO interacts with fatty acids to form nitro-fatty acids as signals for antioxidant defense. Polyamines and NO interact positively to increase polyamine content and activity. A large number of genes are reprogrammed by NO; among these genes, proline metabolism genes are upregulated. Exogenous NO application is also shown to be involved in salinity tolerance and/or resistance via growth promotion, reversing oxidative damage and maintaining ion homeostasis. This review highlights NO-mediated salinity-stress tolerance in plants, including NO biosynthesis, regulation, and signaling. Nitric oxide-mediated ROS metabolism, antioxidant defense, and gene expression and the interactions of NO with other bioactive molecules are also discussed. We conclude the review with a discussion of unsolved issues and suggestions for future research. 相似文献

To determine whether nitric oxide (NO) is involved in classic preconditioning (PC), the effect of NO donors as well as inhibition of the L-arginine-NO-cGMP pathway were evaluated on 1) the functional recovery during reperfusion of ischemic rat hearts and 2) cyclic nucleotides during both the PC protocol and sustained ischemia. Tissue cyclic nucleotides were manipulated with NO donors [S-nitroso-N-penicillamine (SNAP), sodium nitroprusside (SNP), or L-arginine] and inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester or N-nitro-L-arginine) or guanylyl cyclase (1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolol-[4,3-a]quinoxaline-1-one). Pharmacological elevation in tissue cGMP levels by SNAP or SNP before sustained ischemia elicited functional improvement during reperfusion comparable to that by PC. Administration of inhibitors before and during the PC protocol partially attenuated functional recovery, whereas they had no effect when given after the ischemic PC protocol and before sustained ischemia only, indicating a role for NO as a trigger but not as a mediator. Ischemic PC, SNAP, or SNP caused a significant increase in cGMP and a reduction in cAMP levels after 25 min of sustained ischemia that may contribute to the protection obtained. The results obtained suggest a role for NO (and cGMP) as a trigger in classic PC. 相似文献

Nitric oxide and wound repair: role of cytokines? 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Wound healing involves platelets, inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells. All of these cell types are capable of producing nitric oxide (NO), either constitutively or in response to inflammatory cytokines, through the activity of nitric oxide synthases (NOSs): eNOS (NOS3; endothelial NOS) and iNOS (NOS2; inducible NOS), respectively. Indeed, pharmacological inhibition or gene deletion of these enzymes impairs wound healing. The wound healing mechanisms that are triggered by NO appear to be diverse, involving inflammation, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation. All of these processes are controlled by defined cytokine cascades; in many cases, NO appears to modulate these cytokines. In this review, we summarize the history and present state of research on the role of NO in wound healing within the framework of modulation of cytokines. 相似文献

Nitric oxide: NO apoptosis or turning it ON? 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Brüne B 《Cell death and differentiation》2003,10(8):864-869
Nitric oxide (NO) is known for its diverse activities throughout biology. Among signaling qualities, NO affects cellular decisions of life and death either by turning on apoptotic pathways or by shutting them off. Although copious reports support both notions, the dichotomy of NO actions remains unsolved. Proapoptotic pathways of NO are compatible with established signaling circuits appreciated for mitochondria-dependent roads of death, with some emphasis on the involvement of the tumor suppressor p53 as a target during cell death execution. Antiapoptotic actions of NO are numerous, ranging from an immediate interference with proapoptotic signaling cascades to long-lasting effects based on expression of cell protective proteins with some interest on the ability of NO-redox species to block caspases by S-nitrosylation/S-nitrosation. Summarizing emerging concepts to understand p53 accumulation on the one hand while proposing inhibition of procaspase processing on the other may help to define the pro- versus antiapoptotic roles of NO. 相似文献

Inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract are commonly associated with elevated production of nitric oxide (NO•) and increased indices of NO• -dependent oxidative stress. Although NO• is known to have anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, various lines of evidence support the contribution of NO• to lung injury in several disease models. On the basis of biochemical evidence, it is often presumed that such NO• -dependent oxidations are due to the formation of the oxidant peroxynitrite, although alternative mechanisms involving the phagocyte-derived heme proteins myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase might be operative during conditions of inflammation. Because of the overwhelming literature on NO• generation and activities in the respiratory tract, it would be beyond the scope of this commentary to review this area comprehensively. Instead, it focuses on recent evidence and concepts of the presumed contribution of NO• to inflammatory diseases of the lung. 相似文献

In this mini-review, oxidant-induced transferrin receptor-mediated iron-signaling and apoptosis are described in endothelial and neuronal cells exposed to a variety of oxidative stresses. The role of nitric oxide and nitration in the regulation of iron homeostasis and oxidant-induced apoptosis is described. The interrelationship between oxidative stress, iron-signaling, and nitric oxide-dependent proteasomal function provides a rational mechanism that connects both oxidative and nitrative modifications. 相似文献

Skeletal muscle hosts all of the isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). It is well documented that nitric oxide (NO) regulates force generation and satellite cell activation, and therefore, damage repair of skeletal muscle. NO can also activate nociceptors of C-fibers, thereby causing the sensation of pain. Although delayed-onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) is associated with decreased maximal force generation, pain sensation and sarcomere damage, there is a paucity of research linking NO and DOMS. The present mini-review attempts to elucidate the possible relationship between NO and DOMS, based upon current literature. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived gaseous free radical that predominantly functions as a messenger and effector molecule. It affects a variety of physiological processes, including programmed cell death (PCD) through cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent and-independent pathways. In this field, dominant discoveries are the diverse apoptosis networks in mammalian cells, which involve signals primarily via death receptors (extrinsic pathway) or the mitochondria (intrinsic pathway) that recruit caspases as effector molecules. In plants, PCD shares some similarities with animal cells, but NO is involved in PCD induction via interacting with pathways of phytohormones. NO has both promoting and suppressing effects on cell death, depending on a variety of factors, such as cell type, cellular redox status, and the flux and dose of local NO. In this article, we focus on how NO regulates the apoptotic signal cascade through protein S-nitrosylation and review the recent progress on mechanisms of PCD in both mammalian and plant cells. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is a biological messenger molecule produced by one of the essential amino acids L-arginine by the catalytic action of the enzyme NO synthase (NOS). The dual role of NO as a protective or toxic molecule is due to several factors, such as; the isoform of NOS involved, concentration of NO and the type of cells in which it is synthesised, the availability of the substrate L-arginine, generation of guanosine 3,5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) from soluble guanylate cyclase and the overall extra and intracellular environment in which NO is produced. NOS activation as a result of trauma (calcium influx) or infection leads to NO production, which activates its downstream receptor sGC to synthesise cGMP and/or leads to protein nitrosylation. This may lead to one or more systemic effects including altered neurotransmission which can be protective or toxic, vaso/bronchodilatation in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and enhanced immune activity against invading pathogens. In addition to these major functions, NO plays important role in thermoregulation, renal function, gastrointestinal motility, endocrine function, and various functions of the urogenital system ranging from renin secretion to micturation; spermatogenesis to penile erection; and ovulation to implantation and parturition. A schematic summary of the functions of NO and the various isoforms of NOS expressed in body systems is shown in figure 1. In this review, the historical background, biochemistry and biosynthesis of NO and its enzymes together with the mechanism of NO actions in physiology and pathophysiology are discussed. 相似文献

We have recently reported that nitric oxide inhalation in individuals with sickle cell anemia increases the level of NO bound to hemoglobin, with the development of an arterial-venous gradient, suggesting delivery to the tissues. A recent model suggests that nitric oxide, in addition to its well-known reaction with heme groups, reacts with the β-globin chain cysteine 93 to form S-nitrosohemoglobin (SNO-Hb) and that SNO-Hb would preferentially release nitric oxide in the tissues and thus modulate blood flow. However, we have also recently determined that the primary NO hemoglobin adduct formed during NO breathing in normal (hemoglobin A) individuals is nitrosyl (heme)hemoglobin (HbFeIINO), with only a small amount of SNO-Hb formation. To determine whether the NO is transported as HbFeIINO or SNO-Hb in sickle cell individuals, which would have very different effects on sickle hemoglobin polymerization, we measured these two hemoglobin species in three sickle cell volunteers before and during a dose escalation of inhaled NO (40, 60, and 80 ppm). Similar to our previous observations in normal individuals, the predominant species formed was HbFeIINO, with a significant arterial-venous gradient. Minimal SNO-Hb was formed during NO breathing, a finding inconsistent with significant transport of NO using this pathway, but suggesting that this pathway exists. These results suggest that NO binding to heme groups is physiologically a rapidly reversible process, supporting a revised model of hemoglobin delivery of NO in the peripheral circulation and consistent with the possibility that NO delivery by hemoglobin may be therapeutically useful in sickle cell disease. 相似文献

Beneficial actions of nitric oxide (NO) in failing myocardium have frequently been overshadowed by poorly documented negative inotropic effects mainly derived from in vitro cardiac preparations. NO's beneficial actions include control of myocardial energetics and improvement of left ventricular (LV) diastolic distensibility. In isolated cardiomyocytes, administration of NO increases their diastolic cell length consistent with a rightward shift of the passive length-tension relation. This shift is explained by cGMP-induced phosphorylation of troponin I, which prevents calcium-independent diastolic cross-bridge cycling and concomitant diastolic stiffening of the myocardium. Similar improvements in diastolic stiffness have been observed in isolated guinea pig hearts, in pacing-induced heart failure dogs, and in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy or aortic stenosis and have been shown to result in higher LV preload reserve and stroke work. NO also controls myocardial energetics through its effects on mitochondrial respiration, oxygen consumption, and substrate utilization. The effects of NO on diastolic LV performance appear to be synergistic with its effects on myocardial energetics through prevention of myocardial energy wastage induced by LV contraction against late-systolic reflected arterial pressure waves and through prevention of diastolic LV stiffening, which is essential for the maintenance of adequate subendocardial coronary perfusion. A drop in these concerted actions of NO on diastolic LV distensibility and on myocardial energetics could well be instrumental for the relentless deterioration of failing myocardium. 相似文献

The function of nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous free radical emitted by many plants, is incompletely understood. In the present study the hypothesis that NO generation, like that of the reactive oxygen species, occurs as a general response to different environmental cues was tested. Leaf peels and mesophyll cell suspensions of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi were loaded with the NO‐specific fluorophore, diaminofluorescein, and subjected to an abiotic stressor. Light stress and mechanical injury had no apparent effect on NO production. In contrast, high temperatures, hyperosmotic stress, salinity and epi‐illumination in a microscope all led to rapid surges in NO‐induced fluorescence. The fluorescence originated from cells of the palisade mesophyll and across all epidermal cell types, including guard cells, subsidiary cells, and long and short trichomes. Fluorescence was evident first in the plastids, then in the nucleus and finally throughout the cytosol. Nicotiana plumbaginifolia cell suspensions expressing the calcium reporter aequorin provided evidence that, under hyperosmotic stress, NO participates in the elevation of free Ca2+ in the cytoplasm. The physiological significance of NO production in response to abiotic stressors is discussed. 相似文献

An explosion of research in plant nitric oxide (NO) biology during the last two decades has revealed that NO is a key signal involved in plant development, abiotic stress responses and plant immunity. During the course of evolutionary changes, microorganisms parasitizing plants have developed highly effective offensive strategies, in which NO also seems to be implicated. NO production has been demonstrated in several plant pathogens, including fungi, but the origin of NO seems to be as puzzling as in plants. So far, published studies have been spread over multiple species of pathogenic microorganisms in various developmental stages; however, the data clearly indicate that pathogen‐derived NO is an important regulatory molecule involved not only in developmental processes, but also in pathogen virulence and its survival in the host. This review also focuses on the search for potential mechanisms by which pathogens convert NO messages into a physiological response or detoxify both endo‐ and exogenous NO. Finally, taking into account the data available from model bacteria and yeast, a basic draft for the mode of NO action in phytopathogenic microorganisms is proposed. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is known to mediate a multitude of biological effects including inhibition of respiration at cytochrome c oxidase (COX), formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) by reaction with mitochondrial superoxide (O2*-), and S-nitrosylation of proteins. In this study, we investigated pathways of NO metabolism in lymphoblastic leukemic CEM cells in response to glutathione (GSH) depletion. We found that NO blocked mitochondrial protein thiol oxidation, membrane permeabilization, and cell death. The effects of NO were: (1) independent of respiratory chain inhibition since protection was also observed in CEM cells lacking mitochondrial DNA (rho0) which do not possess a functional respiratory chain and (2) independent of ONOO- formation since nitrotyrosine (a marker for ONOO- formation) was not detected in extracts from cells treated with NO after GSH depletion. However, NO increased the level of mitochondrial protein S-nitrosylation (SNO) determined by the Biotin Switch assay and by the release of NO from mitochondrial fractions treated with mercuric chloride (which cleaves SNO bonds to release NO). In conclusion, these results indicate that NO blocks cell death after GSH depletion by preserving the redox status of mitochondrial protein thiols probably by a mechanism that involves S-nitrosylation of mitochondrial protein thiols. 相似文献

Hemopexin, which acts as an antioxidant by binding heme (K
d < 1 pM), is synthesized by hepatic parenchymal cells, by neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and by human retinal ganglia. Two key regulatory molecules, nitric oxide (·NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), both bind to heme proteins and since ferroheme–hemopexin binds CO, the possible role of heme–hemopexin in binding ·NO was investigated. ·NO binds rapidly to hemopexin-bound ferroheme as shown by characteristic changes in the Soret and visible-region absorbance spectra. Circular dichroism spectra of ·NO–ferroheme-hemopexin in the Soret region exhibit an unusual bisignate feature with a zero crossover at the absorbance wavelength maximum, showing that exciton coupling is occurring. Notably, the ·NO complex of ferroheme–hemopexin is sufficiently avid and stable to allow hemopexin to bind this molecule in vivo and, thus, hemopexin may protect against NO-mediated toxicity especially in conditions of trauma and hemolysis. 相似文献

The influence of the dietary nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, L-Nω nitroarginine (L-NNA) on body fat was examined in rats. In experiment 1, all rats were fed with the same amount of diet with or without 0.02% L-NNA for 8 wk. L-NNA intake caused elevations in serum triglyceride and body fat, and reduction in serum nitrate (a metabolite of nitric oxide). The activity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase was reduced by L-NNA. In experiment 2, rats were fed for 8 wk with the same amount of diets with or without 0.02% L-NNA supplemented or not with 4% L-arginine. The elevation in body fat, and the reductions in serum nitrate and in the activity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransfererase by L-NNA were all suppressed by supplemental L-arginine. The results suggest that lower NO generation elevated not only serum triglyceride, but also body fat by reduced fatty acid oxidation. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to regulate cardiac function, both in physiological conditions and in disease states. However, several aspects of NO signalling in the myocardium remain poorly understood. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the disparate functions ascribed to NO result from its generation by different isoforms of the NO synthase (NOS) enzyme, the varying subcellular localization and regulation of NOS isoforms and their effector proteins. Some apparently contrasting findings may have arisen from the use of non-isoform-specific inhibitors of NOS, and from the assumption that NO donors may be able to mimic the actions of endogenously produced NO. In recent years an at least partial explanation for some of the disagreements, although by no means all, may be found from studies that have focused on the role of the neuronal NOS (nNOS) isoform. These data have shown a key role for nNOS in the control of basal and adrenergically stimulated cardiac contractility and in the autonomic control of heart rate. Whether or not the role of nNOS carries implications for cardiovascular disease remains an intriguing possibility requiring future study. 相似文献
