The study of the ability of Lactobacillus plantarum 8P-A3 to synthesize nitric oxide (NO) showed that this strain lacks nitrite reductase. However, analysis by the EPR method revealed the presence of nitric oxide synthase activity in this strain. Like mammalian nitric oxide synthase, lactobacillar NO synthase is involved in the formation of nitric oxide from L-arginine. L. plantarum 8P-A3 does not produce NO in the course of denitrification process. The regulatory role of NO in symbiotic bacteria is discussed. 相似文献

In Sprague-Dawley rats, by means of in vivo microdialysis combined with HPLC analysis, it was shown that acquisition and expression of conditioned emotional response resulted in increase in extracellular level of citrulline: a nitric oxide co-product, in the nucleus accumbens. The rise extracellular citrulline caused by the acquisition of the response was significantly reduced by intraaccumbens infusion of 7-nitroindasole (0.5 mM), a selective inhibitor of neuronal NO-synthase, and completely prevented by intraaccumbens infusion of N-nitroarginine (0.5 mM): a nonselective NO-synthase inhibitor. The increase in citrulline extracellular level cased by expression of the conditioned emotional response is completely prevented by infusion of both NO-synthase inhibitors. The data obtained suggest that the acquisition and the expression of the conditioned emotional response increase the production of nitric oxide in the n. accumbens, predominantly due to activation of the neuronal NO-synthase. 相似文献

We characterized effects of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) substrate L-arginine and classical inhibitors of mammalian NOS on
nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis in probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum 8P-A3. NO-synthase origin of nitric oxide detected by fluorescent NO indicator 1,2-diaminoanthraquinone (DAA) was confirmed
by induction of NO production by exogenous L-arginine. None of the used inhibitors of three isoforms of mammalian NOSs (L-NAME,
L-NIL, nNOS inhibitor I) showed significant inhibitory effect of lactobacillar NO-synthase activity. 相似文献

The effect of L-arginine and blockator of nitric oxide synthase L-NNA on processes of calcium mitochondrial capacity in liver with different resistance to hypoxia in the experiments with Wistar rats has been studied using the followrng substrates of energy support: succinic, alpha-ketoglutaric acids, alpha-ketolutarate and inhibitor succinatedehydrogenase malonate. As well we used substrates mixtures combination providing for activation of aminotransferase mechanism: glutamate and piruvate, glutamate and malate. It has been shown that L-arginine injection increases calcium mitochondrial capacity of low resistant rats using as substrates the succinate and alpha-ketoglutarate to control meanings of high resistance rats. Effects of donors nitric oxide on this processes limit NO-synthase inhibitor L-NNA. 相似文献

The overproduction of the free radical nitric oxide (NO) by activated immunocompetent cells with subsequent development of local oxidative stress is supposed to be one of the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of beta-cell damage during streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The blockade of increased NO production by simultaneous administration of NO-synthase inhibitors partially suppresses the hyperglycemia and the increase of glycated hemoglobin concentration. Here we summarize the current state of knowledge concerning the modulation of streptozotocin-induced diabetes development by treatment with NO-synthase inhibitors including the partial inhibition of the changes in serum leptin levels. The differences in the reaction to streptozotocin administration between wild type mice and inducible NO-synthase knockout mice are also discussed. The overproduction of NO during the development of streptozotocin-induced diabetes is probably an important part of the complex autoimmune reaction which leads to the destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. Further clarification of the role of nitric oxide in streptozotocin-induced diabetes development could have important clinical implications. 相似文献

The phagocytic activity of Mytilus galloprovincialis hemocytes is thought to be associated with NADPH-oxidase activity of the plasma membrane, thus producing superoxide anions. Few studies, however, have been devoted to nitric oxide release by these haemocytes. We investigated NO generation in M. galloprovincialis in order to understand its role in the defensive mechanisms of these organisms. The presence of NO-synthase-like enzymatic activity in protein homogenates from M. galloprovincialis hemocytes was revealed by the conversion of radiolabelled L-arginine to L-citrulline. We observed partial inhibition of the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of stimulated M. galloprovincialis hemocytes by both NO-synthase inhibitors and superoxide dismutase, indicating that peroxynitrite (which results from the reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide anions) partially mediated this chemiluminescence. Furthermore, we confirmed the production of nitric oxide by M. galloprovincialis by highlighting the nitric oxide-synthase-dependence of the nitrate and nitrite production of stimulated hemocytes. 相似文献

Experiments in vitro were performed to investigate the effects of the nitric oxide donor (SNP), the substratum of NO-synthase (L-arginine), and the inhibitor of NO-synthase (nitroarginine) on the ROS-generating activity of blood plasma polymorphonuclear leucocytes and ascitic fluid macrophages isolated at different times of tumor (Zaidel hepatoma) growth in animal organism. It was found that in the initial period of tumor growth the nitric oxide donor at a concentration of 8 x 10(-5) M reduced the potential ROS-generating activity of macrophages by 38.5 +/- 9.0% and that of polymorphic-nuclear leucocytes of plasma by 27.6 +/- 7.0 %. However, the dynamics of this process during tumor growth was conservative: variations in the production of ROS by phagocytes were 10 +/- 3.0%. L-arginine induced a decrease in the ROS-generating activity of granulocytes and mononucleares by 25-30%. This fact points to an inducible inhibiting effect of NO-synthase on the ROS-generating activity of NADPH-oxidase in the course of tumor growth. The inhibitor of NO-synthase, nitroarginine, produced a monotonous increase in the ROS-generating activity of phagocytes isolated from the tumor at different periods of its growth. The use NO-synthase inhibitors for increasing ROS levels in the region of tumor growth may favor the suppression of tumor cell growth in vivo. 相似文献

As the genomic determinants of nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis were identified in mammals and microorganisms, it became possible to systematically analyze the genetic conditioning of the process in clinically significant lactobacilli. A computer screening of the genetic determinants of synthetic pathways leading to NO production was performed to verify the NO-synthase origin of NO in Lactobacillus plantarum. Experimental evidence for enzymatic NO generation from L-arginine, rather than nitrite, was obtained by EPR spectroscopy. It was shown with the example of L. plantarum NO synthase that the observed functional activity of proteins is due to a complex transformation of the genetic program into a real catalytic function under certain conditions. 相似文献

The study has shown that Nw-nitro-L-arginine, a nonselective nitric oxide (NO) inhibitor, in low non-vasoactive doses (10 mg/kg) exerted a protective effect in heat shock as demonstrated by a decrease in the mortality rate and prevention of acute hypotension in rats. The L-NNA in the same dose inhibited the basal NO production but left unaffected a carbachol-activated NO production. The findings suggest a possibility in principle of preferential inhibition of inducible NO-synthase in pathological conditions related to the NO overproduction using non-vasoactive doses of L-NNA the nonselective NO-synthase inhibitor. 相似文献

Heat shock potentiated the nitric oxide production (EPR assay) in the liver, kidney, heart, spleen, intestine, and brain. The heat shock-induced sharp transient increase in the rate of nitric oxide production preceded the accumulation of heat shock proteins (HSP70) (Western blot analysis) as measured in the heart and liver. In all organs the nitric oxide formation was completely blocked by the NO-synthase inhibitor
(L-NNA). L-NNA also markedly attenuated the heat shock-induced accumulation of HSP70. The results suggests that nitric oxide is involved in the heat shock-induced activation of HSP70 synthesis. 相似文献

In this article information on an important role of nitric oxide (NO) in inhibiting the growth of a number of pathogenic microorganisms, including intracellular parasites, and their elimination from the host body is presented. Differences between the mechanisms of the production of NO and free-radical compounds having antimicrobial action are given. The regulation of the activity of constitutive NO-synthase and inducible NO-synthase and the relationship between the latter and the phagocytic activity and production of anti-inflammatory cytokines are described. An important role of NO in the development of the nonspecific resistance of the body is mentioned. 相似文献

The peculiarities of some purine and energetic metabolites effect on the nitric oxide synthesis by vaccine BCG activated rat peritoneal macrophages has been studied. It was shown, that the glutamine and hypoxanthine caused essential increased of the nitrite level in the cell culture medium, but glutamic acid, adenosine, inosine and ATP did change these parameter. The mechanisms of studied compounds effect on the macrophages Ca(2+)-independent inducible NO-synthase activity are being discussed. 相似文献

A possible involvement of nitric oxide in the protective effect of short-term adaptation of Krushinsky-Molodkina rats to mild hypoxia simulating 5000 m above sea level was studied. Nitric oxide proved to have a considerable protective effect on stress-induced disorders in Krushinsky-Molodkina rats as demonstrated using NO-synthase inhibitors and NO monitoring by electron spin resonance under different experimental conditions. 相似文献

Localization of nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity in mast cells of human nasal mucosa 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Nitric oxide (NO)-synthase immunoreactivity has been detected for the first time in mast cells of human normal nasal mucosa, with an antibody specific for neuronal NO-synthase. Intense immunoreactivity was revealed in secretion granules of mast cells but was found in mast cell granules free in the extracellular matrix only in some instances; no reactivity was found in the cytoplasm of this or other cell types. These findings suggest that human nasal mast cells contain a particulate isoform of NO-synthase, which shares epitopes with neuronal NO-synthase and is rapidly removed from granules upon exocytosis. 相似文献

An exchange of active forms of oxygen and nitric oxide in normal conditions and under the development of oxidative stress in humans with high of arterial blood pressure was studied. The activity of NO-synthase was estimated in the human thrombocytes. The nitric oxide formations were determined by the quantity level of its final metabolites--nitrites and nitrates. The peroxynitrite formations were determined by the quantity level of 3-nitrotyrosine. An analysis of the investigation results has shown the increase of processes of oxidative stress, violation of nitric oxide formation in humans with high arterial blood pressure. Application of ascorbic acid allows to reduce the level of free radicals and to increase the formation of nitric oxide, but does not result in statistically reliable changes of the parameters describing formation of peroxynitrite and products of peroxide oxidation of lipids in humans with high arterial blood pressure. Application of ascorbic acid does not result in changes of researched parameters in the control group. 相似文献

Aldosterone receptor antagonist, spironolactone, has been shown to prevent remodeling of the heart in several models of left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the treatment with spironolactone can prevent hypertension, reduction of tissue nitric oxide synthase activity and left ventricular (LV) and aortic remodeling in N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertension. Four groups of rats were investigated: control, spironolactone (200 mg/kg), L-NAME (40 mg/kg) and L-NAME + spironolactone (in corresponding dosage). Animals were studied after 5 weeks of treatment. The decrease of NO-synthase activity in the LV and kidney was associated with the development of hypertension and LV hypertrophy, with increased DNA concentration in the LV, and remodeling of the aorta in the L-NAME group. Spironolactone prevented the inhibition of NO-synthase activity in the LV and kidney and partially attenuated hypertension and LVH development and the increase in DNA concentration. However, remodeling of the aorta was not prevented by spironolactone treatment. We conclude that the aldosterone receptor antagonist spironolactone improved nitric oxide production and partially prevented hypertension and LVH development without preventing hypertrophy of the aorta in NO-deficient hypertension. The reactive growth of the heart and aorta seems to be controlled by different mechanisms in L-NAME-induced hypertension. 相似文献

Essential hypertension is a widespread multifactorial pathology which is probably controlled by numerous genes. Twenty to forty percent of hypertension may be genetically determined. In this review, polymorphism of three group of candidate genes is analyzed. Products of these genes are most likely involved in hypertension development. These are the genes controlling the renin-angiotensin system, ionic channels, and nitric oxide system and NO-synthase. 相似文献

Insulin resistance, as well as vascular disease, both share a relevant genetic background taking the influence of a positive family history of these disorders. On the other hand, insulin resistance is associated with a proatherosclerotic disturbance in nitric oxide dependent vasodilation, probably contributing to the link between these two disorders. We examined the association between nitric oxide dependent vasodilation (measured with high resolution ultrasound at 13 MHz) and three relevant NO-synthase (eNOS)-polymorphisms in 200 insulin resistant subjects participating in the Tuebinger Lifestyle Intervention Program (TULIP). This study revealed that carriers of the eNOS intron 4 polymorphism (aa 2.16%; ab 24.2%; bb 73.2%) show significantly worse endothelial, and thereby eNOS dependent vasodilation (p=0.03, multivariate ANOVA), as compared to wildtype carriers. The 5' UTR T-786C and the G894 T polymorphism did not show any influence on eNOS-activity. In subjects at increased risk to develop type 2 diabetes, the eNOS intron 4 polymorphism is independently associated with endothelial function as indicated by disturbed endothelial NO production. Due to the high prevalence and the relatively strong effect, this polymorphism might help to identify subjects at increased risk for atherosclerosis associated with overweight and insulin resistance. 相似文献

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors have been shown to prevent or reverse hypertrophy of the LV in several models of left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of the present study was to determine whether treatment with simvastatin can prevent hypertension, reduction of tissue nitric oxide synthase activity and left ventricular (LV) remodeling in NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME)-induced hypertension. Four groups of rats were investigated: control, simvastatin (10 mg/kg), L-NAME (40 mg/kg) and L-NAME + simvastatin (in corresponding doses). Animals were sacrificed and studied after 6 weeks of treatment. The decrease of NO-synthase activity in the LV, kidney and brain was associated with hypertension, LV hypertrophy and fibrosis development and remodeling of the aorta in the L-NAME group. Simvastatin attenuated the inhibition of NO-synthase activity in kidney and brain, partly prevented hypertension development and reduced the concentration of coenzyme Q in the LV. Nevertheless, myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis and enhancement of DNA concentration in the LV, and remodeling of the aorta were not prevented by simultaneous simvastatin treatment in the L-NAME treated animals.We conclude that the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor simvastatin improved nitric oxide production and partially prevented hypertension development, without preventing remodeling of the left ventricle and aorta in NO-deficient hypertension. 相似文献
