Data on producing an infusion fluid that contains nitric oxide.

ABSTRACT: Nitric oxide (NO) is a vasodilator and platelet aggregation inhibitor. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, inhalation of NO is used as a therapeutic option. It has been proposed that nitrite (NO2 -) is a constitute intravascular storage and delivery source of NO, a potent cardioprotective-signaling molecule. The administration of NO2 - could have therapeutic effects in conditions where the oxygen-dependent enzymatic production of NO is compromised (i.e., ischemia). Thus, if NO could be supplied by an intravenous infusion fluid, it would be an easier method than by inhalation or delivery to the blood vessels by the blood stream. We produced 2 types of solutions, i.e., a nitrogen gas injected solution (control solution) and NO gas injected solution (experimental solution). NO was measured by the Microplate Photometer (MultiSkan FC, Thermo Fisher Scientific K.K., Tokyo, Japan) with a 540-nm wavelength and NO assay kit (Quantichrom™ Nitric Oxide Assay Kit, BioAssay Systems, Hayward, CA, USA). Gas profiles were measured by the EG6+ (Abbott Japan Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) with an i-STAT system (300F, Abbott Japan Co., Ltd.). Comparisons of gas profiles and measured NO concentrations in vitro and ex vivo are shown between the control and experimental solutions. Since NO is oxidized to NO2 - and nitrate (NO3 -), it is common practice to quantitate total NO2 -/NO3 - as a measure of the NO level. We used the assay that was designed to accurately measure NO production following reduction of NO3 - to NO2 - using the Griess method. The data in this document describe production of an infusion fluid that contains NO without any special devices.

Nitric oxide synthase-dependent responses of the basilar artery during acute infusion of nicotine.

Project description:IntroductionOur goals were to determine whether acute exposure to nicotine alters nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-dependent responses of the basilar artery and to identify a potential role for activation of NAD(P)H oxidase in nicotine-induced impairment in NOS-dependent responses of the basilar artery.MethodsWe measured in vivo diameter of the basilar artery in response to NOS-dependent (acetylcholine) and NOS-independent (nitroglycerin) agonists before and during an acute infusion of nicotine (2 microg/kg/min intravenously for 30 min followed by a maintenance dose of 0.35 microg/kg/min). In addition, we measured superoxide anion production (lucigenin chemiluminescence) by the basilar artery in response to nicotine in the absence or presence of apocynin.ResultsWe found that NOS-dependent, but not NOS-independent, vasodilation was impaired during infusion of nicotine. In addition, treatment of the basilar artery with apocynin (100 microM, 30 min prior to infusion of nicotine) prevented nicotine-induced impairment in NOS-dependent vasodilation. Further, the production of superoxide anion was increased in the basilar artery by nicotine, and this increase could be inhibited by apocynin.DiscussionOur findings suggest that acute exposure to nicotine impairs NOS-dependent dilation of the basilar artery by a mechanism that appears to be related to the release of superoxide anion. A possible source of superoxide may be via the activation of NAD(P)H oxidase.

Expression data of Vibrio fischeri in response to nitric oxide (NO)

Project description:The bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri initiates a specific, persistent symbiosis in the light organ of the squid Euprymna scolopes. During the early stages of colonization, V. fischeri is exposed to host-derived nitric oxide (NO). While NO can be both an antimicrobial component of innate immunity and a common signaling molecule of eukaryotes, its roles in beneficial host-microbe associations remain undescribed. V. fischeri encodes HnoX, a member of a family of bacterial NO-binding proteins of unknown function. We hypothesized that HnoX acts as a NO sensor that is involved in regulating symbiosis-related genes during initiation of symbiosis. With an aim to discover the genes whose regulations respond to NO signal, and in an HnoX-mediated fashion in particular, we carried out a whole-genome expression study on the wild-type and an insertional mutant of hnoX.

Fibroblastic reticular cells from lymph nodes attenuate T cell expansion by producing nitric oxide.

Project description:Adaptive immune responses are initiated when T cells encounter antigen on dendritic cells (DC) in T zones of secondary lymphoid organs. T zones contain a 3-dimensional scaffold of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) but currently it is unclear how FRC influence T cell activation. Here we report that FRC lines and ex vivo FRC inhibit T cell proliferation but not differentiation. FRC share this feature with fibroblasts from non-lymphoid tissues as well as mesenchymal stromal cells. We identified FRC as strong source of nitric oxide (NO) thereby directly dampening T cell expansion as well as reducing the T cell priming capacity of DC. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was up-regulated in a subset of FRC by both DC-signals as well as interferon-? produced by primed CD8+ T cells. Importantly, iNOS expression was induced during viral infection in vivo in both LN FRC and DC. As a consequence, the primary T cell response was found to be exaggerated in Inos(-/-) mice. Our findings highlight that in addition to their established positive roles in T cell responses FRC and DC cooperate in a negative feedback loop to attenuate T cell expansion during acute inflammation.

Localization of nitric oxide-producing hemocytes in Aedes and Culex mosquitoes infected with bacteria.

Project description:Mosquitoes are significant vectors of various pathogens. Unlike vertebrates, insects rely solely on innate immunity. Hemocytes play a crucial role in the cellular part of the innate immune system. The gaseous radical nitric oxide (NO) produced by hemocytes acts against pathogens and also functions as a versatile transmitter in both the immune and nervous systems, utilizing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) as a second messenger. This study conducted a parallel comparison of NO synthase (NOS) expression and NO production in hemocytes during Escherichia coli K12 infection in four vector species: Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Culex pipiens molestus, and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus. Increased NOS expression by NADPH diaphorase (NADPHd) staining and NO production by immunofluorescence against the by-product L-citrulline were observed in infected mosquito hemocytes distributed throughout the abdomens. NADPHd activity and citrulline labeling were particularly found in periostial hemocytes near the heart, but also on the ventral nerve chord (VNC). Pericardial cells of Ae. aegypti and Cx. p. molestus showed increased citrulline immunofluorescence, suggesting their involvement in the immune response. Oenocytes displayed strong NADPHd and citrulline labeling independent of infection status. This comparative study, consistent with findings in other species, suggests a widespread phenomenon of NO's role in hemocyte responses during E. coli infection. Found differences within and between genera highlight the importance of species-specific investigations.

Nitric oxide-fixation in plants: A new pathway enabling the use of nitric oxide as nitrogen source

Project description:Of all the essential nutrients, nitrogen is the one most often limiting for plant growth. Nitrogen can be taken up by plants in two ways. One possibility is through ammonium and nitrate, which are the predominate inorganic forms of nitrogen in soils. The second possibility is the uptake of air-born nitrogen through plant-associated mircoorganisms in root nodules. The majority of plants able to form such nitrogen-fixing root nodules are in the legume family Fabaceae. Here we present a third possibility – a new pathway, termed as nitric oxide (NO)-fixation pathway, which allows plants to fix atmospheric NO and to use it for better growth and development. We identified non-symbiotic hemoglobin class 1 (AtGLB1) and class 2 (AtGLB2) as key proteins of the NO-fixation pathway. In an NO enriched environment NO-fixation is enhanced considerably in plants overexpressing AtGLB1 or AtGLB2 genes. NO uptake resulted in four-fold higher nitrate levels in these plants compared to NO-treated wild-type plants. Correspondingly, the growth parameters like rosettes size and weight, vegetative shoot thickness and also seed yield were 25%, 40%, 30%, and 20% higher, respectively, in the overexpression lines in comparison to wild-type plants. Our results highlight the existence of a NO-fixing pathway in plants. We demonstrated that plant non-symbiotic hemoglobin proteins can fix atmospheric NO and convert it to nitrate, which is further introduced into the N-metabolism. We assume that our results might provide new insights into the field of crop science research and that the NO-fixation capability might serve as a new economically important breeding trait for enhancing biomass, fruit, and seed production. Modifying this pathway might be a promising approach for better and more environment-friendly supply of nitrogen. For example crop plant hemoglobin proteins could be improved for their NO-fixing capability and their expression levels could be increased.

Mycobacterium bovis transcriptional response to nitric oxide

Project description:We used microarray hybridization to analyze the expression pattern of M. bovis after exposure to nitric oxide. In M. tuberculosis, this treatment has been shown to induce a response similar to the hypoxic stress. Results showed the up-regulation of 51 genes belonging to the DosR regulon. The most remarkable difference with M. tuberculosis was the lack of expression of narX and narK2 in M. bovis, both genes related to survival during hypoxic stress. We further confirm this by qRT-PCR and also explore differential activity at promoter level.

Nitric Oxide, Nitric Oxide Formers and Their Physiological Impacts in Bacteria.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is an active and critical nitrogen oxide in the microbe-driven nitrogen biogeochemical cycle, and is of great interest to medicine and the biological sciences. As a gas molecule prior to oxygen, NO respiration represents an early form of energy generation via various reactions in prokaryotes. Major enzymes for endogenous NO formation known to date include two types of nitrite reductases in denitrification, hydroxylamine oxidoreductase in ammonia oxidation, and NO synthases (NOSs). While the former two play critical roles in shaping electron transport pathways in bacteria, NOSs are intracellular enzymes catalyzing metabolism of certain amino acids and have been extensively studied in mammals. NO interacts with numerous cellular targets, most of which are redox-active proteins. Doing so, NO plays harmful and beneficial roles by affecting diverse biological processes within bacterial physiology. Here, we discuss recent advances in the field, including NO-forming enzymes, the molecular mechanisms by which these enzymes function, physiological roles of bacterial NOSs, and regulation of NO homeostasis in bacteria.
