Herein, we report a new approach to electromodulate the release of NO at physiological levels through polymeric materials from a stable nitrite electrolyte reservoir, with potential application in controlling biofilm formation and clotting on intravascular catheters. The NO flux can be turned 'on' and 'off' electrochemically, on demand. ...[more]

Project description:Inorganic nitrate was once considered an oxidation end product of nitric oxide metabolism with little biological activity. However, recent studies have demonstrated that dietary nitrate can modulate mitochondrial function in man and is effective in reversing features of the metabolic syndrome in mice. Using a combined histological, metabolomics, and transcriptional and protein analysis approach, we mechanistically defined that nitrate not only increases the expression of thermogenic genes in brown adipose tissue but also induces the expression of brown adipocyte-specific genes and proteins in white adipose tissue, substantially increasing oxygen consumption and fatty acid ?-oxidation in adipocytes. Nitrate induces these phenotypic changes through a mechanism distinct from known physiological small molecule activators of browning, the recently identified nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. The nitrate-induced browning effect was enhanced in hypoxia, a serious comorbidity affecting white adipose tissue in obese individuals, and corrected impaired brown adipocyte-specific gene expression in white adipose tissue in a murine model of obesity. Because resulting beige/brite cells exhibit antiobesity and antidiabetic effects, nitrate may be an effective means of inducing the browning response in adipose tissue to treat the metabolic syndrome.

Project description:Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is progressively inactivated while catalysing the reduction of inorganic nitrite to NO by xanthine. Inactivation results from conversion of the enzyme into its desulpho-form. The rate of inactivation increases with nitrite concentration. Similar behaviour was shown when NADH replaced xanthine as reducing substrate. A kinetic model is proposed incorporating a 'suicide' inactivation involving an enzyme-substrate (product) complex, rather than inactivation by free NO. The model provides a good fit to progress curves of the reaction of xanthine or NADH with nitrite in the presence of the oxidase or dehydrogenase forms of the enzyme. Inorganic nitrate, like nitrite, was shown to be reduced at the molybdenum site of XOR. With xanthine as reducing substrate, nitrite was produced in essentially a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio with respect to urate. Unlike the case of nitrite, the enzyme was not significantly inactivated, implying that inactivation during nitrite reduction depends on the presence of nascent NO in its enzyme complex.

Project description:AimsAnti-platelet agents, such as dipyridamole, have several clinical benefits for peripheral artery disease with the speculation of angiogenic potential that could preserve ischaemic tissue viability, yet the effect of dipyridamole on ischaemic arteriogenesis or angiogenesis is unknown. Here we test the hypothesis that dipyridamole therapy augments arteriolar vessel development and function during chronic ischaemia.Methods and resultsMice were treated with 200 mg/kg dipyridamole twice daily to achieve therapeutic plasma levels (0.8-1.2 microg/mL). Chronic hindlimb ischaemia was induced by permanent femoral artery ligation followed by measurement of tissue perfusion using laser Doppler blood flow along with quantification of vascular density, cell proliferation, and activation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. Dipyridamole treatment quickly restored ischaemic hindlimb blood flow, increased vascular density and cell proliferation, and enhanced collateral artery perfusion compared with control treatments. The beneficial effects of dipyridamole on blood flow and vascular density were dependent on NO production as dipyridamole did not augment ischaemic tissue reperfusion, vascular density, or endothelial cell proliferation in endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-deficient mice. Blood and tissue nitrite levels were significantly higher in dipyridamole-treated mice compared with controls and eNOS(-/-) mice, verifying increased NO production that was regulated in a PKA-dependent manner.ConclusionDipyridamole augments nitrite/NO production, leading to enhanced arteriogenesis activity and blood perfusion in ischaemic limbs. Together, these data suggest that dipyridamole can augment ischaemic vessel function and restore blood flow, which may be beneficial in peripheral artery disease.

Project description:The heme(a3)/Cu(B) active site of cytochrome c oxidase is responsible for cellular nitrite reduction to nitric oxide; the same center can return NO to the nitrite pool via oxidative chemistry. Here, we show that a partially reduced heme/Cu assembly reduces NO(2)(-) ion, producing nitric oxide. The heme serves as the reductant, but the Cu(II) ion is also required. In turn, a ?-oxo heme-Fe(III)-O-Cu(II) complex facilitates NO oxidation to nitrite; the final products are the reduced heme and Cu(II)-nitrito complexes.

Project description:The preparation of electrospun polymer microfibers with nitric oxide (NO)-release capabilities is described. Polymer solutions containing disodium 1-[2-(carboxylato)pyrrolidin-1-yl]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (PROLI/NO), a low-molecular-weight NO donor, were electrospun to generate fibers ranging from 100-3000 nm in diameter capable of releasing NO upon immersion in aqueous solutions under physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C), with kinetics depending on polymer composition and fiber diameter. The NO release half-life for PROLI/NO-doped electrospun fibers was 2-200 times longer than that of PROLI/NO alone. The influence of polymer concentration, applied voltage, capillary diameter, solution conductivity, flow rate, and additives on fiber properties are reported and discussed with respect to potential applications.

Project description:Hypoxic vasodilation is a physiological response to low oxygen tension that increases blood supply to match metabolic demands. Although this response has been characterized for >100 years, the underlying hypoxic sensing and effector signaling mechanisms remain uncertain. We have shown that deoxygenated myoglobin in the heart can reduce nitrite to nitric oxide (NO·) and thereby contribute to cardiomyocyte NO· signaling during ischemia. On the basis of recent observations that myoglobin is expressed in the vasculature of hypoxia-tolerant fish, we hypothesized that endogenous nitrite may contribute to physiological hypoxic vasodilation via reactions with vascular myoglobin to form NO·.We show in the present study that myoglobin is expressed in vascular smooth muscle and contributes significantly to nitrite-dependent hypoxic vasodilation in vivo and ex vivo. The generation of NO· from nitrite reduction by deoxygenated myoglobin activates canonical soluble guanylate cyclase/cGMP signaling pathways. In vivo and ex vivo vasodilation responses, the reduction of nitrite to NO·, and the subsequent signal transduction mechanisms were all significantly impaired in mice without myoglobin. Hypoxic vasodilation studies in myoglobin and endothelial and inducible NO synthase knockout models suggest that only myoglobin contributes to systemic hypoxic vasodilatory responses in mice.Endogenous nitrite is a physiological effector of hypoxic vasodilation. Its reduction to NO· via the heme globin myoglobin enhances blood flow and matches O(2) supply to increased metabolic demands under hypoxic conditions.

Project description:Nitrate reductases (NRs) are molybdoenzymes that reduce nitrate (NO3 -) to nitrite (NO2 -) in both mammals and plants. In mammals, the salival microbes take part in the generation of the NO2 - from NO3 -, which further produces nitric oxide (NO) either in acid-induced NO2 - reduction or in the presence of nitrite reductases (NiRs). Here, we report a new approach of VCl3 (V3+ ion source) induced step-wise reduction of NO3 - in a CoII-nitrato complex, [(12-TMC)CoII(NO3 -)]+ (2,{CoII-NO3 -}), to a CoIII-nitrosyl complex, [(12-TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+ (4,{CoNO}8), bearing an N-tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligand. The VCl3 inspired reduction of NO3 - to NO is believed to occur in two consecutive oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions, i.e., OAT-1 = NO3 - → NO2 - (r1) and OAT-2 = NO2 - → NO (r2). In these OAT reactions, VCl3 functions as an O-atom abstracting species, and the reaction of 2 with VCl3 produces a CoIII-nitrosyl ({CoNO}8) with VV-Oxo ({VV[double bond, length as m-dash]O}3+) species, via a proposed CoII-nitrito (3, {CoII-NO2 -}) intermediate species. Further, in a separate experiment, we explored the reaction of isolated complex 3 with VCl3, which showed the generation of 4 with VV-Oxo, validating our proposed reaction sequences of OAT reactions. We ensured and characterized 3 using VCl3 as a limiting reagent, as the second-order rate constant of OAT-2 (k 2 /) is found to be ∼1420 times faster than that of the OAT-1 (k 2) reaction. Binding constant (K b) calculations also support our proposition of NO3 - to NO transformation in two successive OAT reactions, as K b(CoII-NO2 -) is higher than K b(CoII-NO3 -), hence the reaction moves in the forward direction (OAT-1). However, K b(CoII-NO2 -) is comparable to K b{CoNO}8 , and therefore sequenced the second OAT reaction (OAT-2). Mechanistic investigations of these reactions using 15N-labeled-15NO3 - and 15NO2 - revealed that the N-atom in the {CoNO}8 is derived from NO3 - ligand. This work highlights the first-ever report of VCl3 induced step-wise NO3 - reduction (NRs activity) followed by the OAT induced NO2 - reduction and then the generation of Co-nitrosyl species {CoNO}8.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) as a cellular signaling molecule and vasodilator regulates a range of physiological and pathological processes. Nitrite (NO2 (-)) is recycled in vivo to generate nitric oxide, particularly in physiologic hypoxia and ischemia. The cytochrome c oxidase binuclear heme a 3/CuB active site is one entity known to be responsible for conversion of cellular nitrite to nitric oxide. We recently reported that a partially reduced heme/copper assembly reduces nitrite ion, producing nitric oxide; the heme serves as the reductant and the cupric ion provides a Lewis acid interaction with nitrite, facilitating nitrite (N-O) bond cleavage (Hematian et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 134:18912-18915, 2012). To further investigate this nitrite reductase chemistry, copper(II)-nitrito complexes with tridentate and tetradentate ligands were used in this study, where either O,O'-bidentate or O-unidentate modes of nitrite binding to the cupric center are present. To study the role of the reducing ability of the ferrous heme center, two different tetraarylporphyrinate-iron(II) complexes, one with electron-donating para-methoxy peripheral substituents and the other with electron-withdrawing 2,6-difluorophenyl substituents, were used. The results show that differing modes of nitrite coordination to the copper(II) ion lead to differing kinetic behavior. Here, also, the ferrous heme is in all cases the source of the reducing equivalent required to convert nitrite to nitric oxide, but the reduction ability of the heme center does not play a key role in the observed overall reaction rate. On the basis of our observations, reaction mechanisms are proposed and discussed in terms of heme/copper heterobinuclear structures.

Project description:We report the ability to readily tune NO release from N-diazeniumdiolate-encapsulated liposomal structures by altering the NO donor molecule structure and/or phospholipid composition (independently or in combination). While encapsulating more stable NO donors expectedly enhanced the NO release (up to 48 h) from the liposomes, the phospholipid headgroup surface area proved equally useful in controlling NO-release kinetics by influencing the water uptake and concomitant N-diazeniumdiolate NO donor breakdown (to NO). The potential therapeutic utility of the NO-releasing liposomes was further assessed in biological/proteinaceous fluids. The NO-release kinetics were similar in buffer and serum.

Project description:We have investigated the kinetics of NO escape from Geobacillus stearothermophilus nitric oxide synthase (gsNOS). Previous work indicated that NO release was gated at position 223 in mammalian enzymes; our kinetics experiments include mutants at that position along with measurements on the wild type enzyme. Employing stopped-flow UV-vis methods, reactions were triggered by mixing a reduced enzyme/N-hydroxy-l-arginine complex with an aerated buffer solution. NO release kinetics were obtained for wt NOS and three mutants (H134S, I223V, H134S/I223V). We have confirmed that wt gsNOS has the lowest NO release rate of known NOS enzymes, whether bacterial or mammalian. We also have found that steric clashes at positions 223 and 134 hinder NO escape, as judged by enhanced rates in the single mutants. The empirical rate of NO release from the gsNOS double mutant (H134/I223V) is nearly as rapid as that of the fastest mammalian enzymes, demonstrating that both positions 223 and 134 function as gates for escape of the product diatomic molecule.
