was noted in the same patients post-CPAP (right). Moreover, eNOS uncoupling is also mediated by excessive ROS formation (“ROS-induced ROS formation”). Previously, we reported that shear stress-induced release of nitric oxide in vessels of age... eNOS uncoupling and endothelial dysfunction … However, information on exact regulatory mechanisms of arginase gene expression or activity is still missing. Similarly do resveratrol, sepiapterin, folic acid, AVE3085, and AVE9488 (enhancers of endothelial nitric oxide synthase acting on the eNOS gene transcription). Due to the central role of endothelium throughout the atherosclerotic disease process, endothelial dysfunction is regarded as a common mechanism for various cardiovascular (CV) disorders. Endothelial dysfunction (ED), the early feature of atherosclerosis, precedes the development of morphologic changes and is the earliest detectable impairment of vascular function [4, 5]. Induction of sensory long-term facilitation in the carotid body by intermittent hypoxia: implications for recurrent apneas. Although there is extensive evidence … Expression of DHFR can be downregulated by angiotensin II [81].

Formation of a protonated trihydrobiopterin radical cation in the first reaction cycle of neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase detected by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. 52−54 In prior studies, this phenomenon was primarily linked to depletion of the eNOS … The eNOS activity depends also on substrate and cofactor availability and the presence of oxidative stress and endogenous inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). Continuous inflammatory production of interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and subsequent increased expression of IFN-α-regulated genes, referred as IFN signature, due to activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells by immune complexes, consisting of autoantibodies in combination with deoxyribonucleic acid- (DNA-) or ribonucleic acid- (RNA-) containing autoantigens, have been reported in SLE patients. Neurocirculatory consequences of intermittent asphyxia in humans. eNOS regulates mobilization and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), key regulators of vascular repair.

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Uncoupling: A Novel Pathway in OSA Induced Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction, Address for Correspondence: Rami Khayat, MD, 201 DHLRI 473 West 12, The publisher's final edited version of this article is available at, Obstructive sleep apnoea, nitric oxide, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, {"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT01027078","term_id":"NCT01027078"}}. Respir Physiol Neurobiol. There is little information on regulatory mechanisms of GTPCH and DHFR gene expression or activity. Formation of a pterin radical in the reaction of the heme domain of inducible nitric oxide synthase with oxygen. Underlying mechanisms and its pathogenesis in SLE are still poorly understood [146, 147]. It is thought that the destructive loop of oxidative stress and inflammation leads to development of endothelial dysfunction, a fundamental feature of atherosclerosis [23].

Overexpression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase accelerates atherosclerotic lesion formation in apoE-deficient mice. In an animal model of arthritis, serum BH4 levels besides supplementation can be increased upon administration of fluvastatin [97]. Respir Physiol Neurobiol. Paradoxical reduction of fatty streak formation in mice lacking endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Indeed, a decrease in serum levels of BH4 in AIA rats compared to the control group was reported, and administration of BH4 restored endothelial function. The latter can be also due to increased endothelial cell turnover with potential liberation of ADMA during cell catabolism. Its levels were positively correlated with the disease severity and IL-17. Indeed, it has been demonstrated in vitro that in the presence of anti-dsDNA, methylation of arginine residues in proteins by PRMT I is increased; therefore, anti-dsDNA antibodies may be a trigger for enhanced ADMA production in SLE [160]. Taking these findings into account, the authors conclude that endothelial dysfunction is not the consequence of the disease, at least in the chronic phase of the AIA model. These data indicate that iNOS-dependent S-nitrosylation of arginase 1 and the increase in arginase activity lead to eNOS uncoupling, contributing to the nitroso-redox imbalance, endothelial … In the latter study by Spinelli et al., besides a decrease in ADMA plasma concentrations, anti-TNF therapy restored circulating endothelial progenitor cell levels, although a not significant increase of FMD was observed. Cardounel AJ, Cui H, Samouilov A, Johnson W, Kearns P, Tsai AL, Berka V, Zweier JL.

A semiessential amino acid L-arginine is the exclusive substrate for nitric oxide synthase, and its availability is one of the rate-limiting factors in cellular NO production [37]. Interestingly, methotrexate (MTX) inhibits NF-κB activation through blockade of BH4 synthesis. The current review paper addresses this issue. In diabetic and obesity/insulin resistance states, the endothelial dysfunction is incremented promoting the development and progression of vascular diseases [].Endothelial dysfunction … Antoniades C, Shirodaria C, Warrick N, Cai S, de Bono J, Lee J, Leeson P, Neubauer S, Ratnatunga C, Pillai R, Refsum H, Channon KM. The authors showed that fluvastatin decreased expression of p22phox mRNA, a membrane-associated component of NADPH oxidase, resulting in inhibition of enzyme activity and decreased ROS generation. It is thought that among these two enzymes, DHFR is critical to eNOS function, especially in cells that do not contain the apparatus required for efficient synthesis of BH4 or under conditions of low total biopterin levels, as recycling it can reduce eNOS-dependent oxidation of BH4 that would further decrease BH4 levels and enhance eNOS uncoupling [82]. Nevertheless, their results indicate a subclinical vascular damage that would explain higher CV risk [173]. Beneficial effects of oral BH4 supplementation were then investigated in humans. There is mounting evidence that primary Sjogren syndrome, similar to SLE and RA, has increased morbidity of CVD [172]. Uncoupling of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) resulting in superoxide anion (O2−) formation instead of nitric oxide (NO) causes diabetic endothelial dysfunction. Lind L, Berglund L, Larsson A, Sundstrom J. Endothelial function in resistance and conduit arteries and 5-year risk of cardiovascular disease. Kaczmarek E, Bakker JP, Clarke DN, Csizmadia E, Kocher O, Veves A, Tecilazich F, O’Donnell CP, Ferran C, Malhotra A. Molecular biomarkers of vascular dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea. Peroxynitrite inactivates prostacyclin synthase (PGIS), an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin, widely known for its vasoprotective activity, therefore resulting in formation of vasoconstricting prostaglandins including thromboxane A2. Therefore, they indicated that increase in BH4 availability due to decreased ROS production achieved with fluvastatin therapy prevents eNOS uncoupling [97, 100]. Emerging evidence has suggested the deficiency of L-arginine available for eNOS as an etiology for endothelial dysfunction and has related it to enhanced arginase activity [137]. It is a consequence of chronic exposure to cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, and its progression is related to the intensity and duration of these factors [6, 7]. In SLE patients without CVD, the ADMA was independently associated with the coronary calcium score and arterial stiffness [159, 162]. This endothelial dysfunction results ... availability by regulating ROS formation and reducing eNOS uncoupling. Despite beneficial effects in animal models, applying these experimental results to clinical treatment still requires further studies and more extensive investigation. These inconsistent findings are attributed by authors to differential effect of ADMA on distinct vascular beds. Extracellular DNA affects NO content in human endothelial cells. Furthermore, ADMA has been reported to be related to indices of endothelial dysfunction or subclinical atherosclerosis in some [56, 65, 68], but not all, conducted studies [58, 60, 61, 67, 68]. These findings were not confirmed by another study performed in a similar subgroup of patients treated for 18 months with either methotrexate or adalimumab [170]. Xie A, Skatrud JB, Crabtree DC, Puleo DS, Goodman BM, Morgan BJ. ADMA also significantly increases TNF-α levels in human endothelial cells and thus participates in the pathogenesis of vascular injury in RA [56, 62, 66, 67, 69]. It is well established that patients with rheumatic autoimmune diseases are characterized by significantly increased prevalence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than the general population. Both enhanced NOS activity and reduced superoxide production can be due to the decrease in vascular eNOS uncoupling, thanks to the beneficial effect of arginase inhibition and restored L-arginine bioavailability.
