Type 2 nitric oxide synthase and protein nitration in chronic lung infection

Inflammation in the lung can lead to increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and enhanced NO production. It has been postulated that the resultant highly reactive NO metabolites may have an important role in host defence, although they might also contribute to tissue damage. However, in a number of inflammatory lung diseases, including bronchiectasis, iNOS expression is increased but no elevation of airway NO can be detected. A potential explanation for this finding is that NO is rapidly scavenged by reaction with superoxide radicals, forming peroxynitrite, which is preferentially metabolized via nitration and nitrosation reactions. To test this hypothesis, anaesthetized, specific pathogen-free rats were inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa incorporated into agar beads (chronically infected group) or sterile agar beads (control group). Ten to 15 days later, the lungs were isolated and fixed. Pseudomonas organisms were isolated from the lungs of the chronically infected group. These lungs showed extensive inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue damage, which were not observed in control lungs. Expression of iNOS was increased in the chronically infected group when compared with the control group. However, the mean number of cells staining for nitrotyrosine in the chronically infected group was not significantly different from that in the controls, nor was there an excess of nitrotyrosine, nitrate, nitrite or nitrosothiol concentrations in the infected lungs. Thus, no evidence was found of increased NO metabolites in chronically infected lungs, including products of the peroxynitrite pathway. These findings suggest that chronic infection does not cause increased iNOS activity in the lung, despite increased expression of iNOS.     

Value of preoperative urine white blood cell and nitrite in predicting postoperative infection following percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a meta-analysis

BackgroundTo evaluate to what degree preoperative urine white blood cell (WBC) and urine nitrite (NIT) values are predictive of postoperative infections following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).MethodsA systematic literature search was performed of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Science and Technology Journal Database (CSTJ or VIP) online databases to identify relevant studies that examined the predictive value of urine WBC or NIT as risk factors for post-PCNL infection, and the search was finished on February 28, 2020. Two independent reviewers screened the relevant studies, extracted necessary data from the eligible case-control studies (CCS), and assessed the quality of included studies through the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). RevMan 5.3 software and the Stata 16.0 software were used to complete the statistical analysis of data. Results are expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsAccording to the statistical analysis of 12 eligible studies involving 6113 patients, positive urine WBC (WBC+: OR =3.86, 95% CI: 3.03–4.91, P<0.001) and positive NIT (NIT⁺: OR =7.81, 95% CI: 5.44–11.21, P<0.001) in preoperative tests were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative infections following PCNL.ConclusionsIn summary, as risk factors for postoperative infections, the presence of preoperative urine WBC+ and NIT+ should be evaluated as part of clinical procedure, in order to reduce infections of PCNL.     

Nerve-induced release of nitric oxide in the rabbit gastrointestinal tract as measured by in vivo microdialysis

1. Nitric oxide (NO) has been suggested as a gastrointestinal neurotransmitter, mediating the gastric receptive relaxation and the relaxation in the peristaltic reflex. The aim of the present study was to measure nerve-induced NO formation in vivo in the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Formation of the nitric oxide oxidation products nitrite and nitrate during vagal nerve stimulation were measured in the anaesthetized rabbit. Microdialysis probes were inserted into the wall of the stomach and proximal colon, and nitrite and nitrate in dialysate measured by capillary electrophoresis.
3. During bilateral vagal nerve stimulation there was an increase in nitrite and nitrate formation at the level of the stomach and in nitrite formation at the level of the colon. This increase was inhibited by intravenous administration of the NO synthase inhibitor N^ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME 30 mg kg⁻¹). Furthermore, L-NAME significantly increased nerve-induced gastric and colonic contractions, as well as spontaneous colonic contractions.
4. In summary, we present a new methodological procedure for quantification of small changes in nitric oxide formation in vivo. This study provides evidence that nitric oxide is released in the stomach and colonic wall during vagal nerve activity, at concentrations able to cause inhibition of smooth muscle contractions in vivo.

     

Nitric oxide and aneurysm formation in Kawasaki disease

The objective of this study is to show that nitric oxide plays a role in the development of coronary artery abnormalities in Kawasaki disease. We examined nitrite + nitrate, biopterin and neopterin in 316 urine samples of 34 patients with Kawasaki disease, those of 24 patients with other diseases, and those of 25 healthy children acting as a control group, because urinary nitrite + nitrate are reportedly useful as markers of nitric oxide generation in vivo , and pathways for neopterin-biopterin synthesis and nitric oxide generation are tightly coupled. In our study, the children with Kawasaki disease excreted more urinary nitrite + nitrate and neopterin than did the healthy control group children and excreted abnormally high quantities more often than did the patients with other diseases. Good relationships were found between the urinary nitrite + nitrate levels and the urinary biopterin levels, and between these biopterin levels and the urinary neopterin levels. Nitric oxide is therefore thought to be generated in abnormally high quantities, and to be closely related to the pathology of Kawasaki disease and to the development of coronary artery abnormalities. The role of nitric oxide in Kawasaki disease should be further studied to elucidate the pathophysiology of the disease and to aid in the development of new treatments.
