The pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains poorly understood. Vasoconstriction, although likely to be a major factor in the disease, varies between patients and studies of a variety of vasoactive substances have sometimes yielded conflicting results. Amongst these substances, alteration
Astrocytes under pathological conditions become activated and produce a variety of cytokines and low molecular weight signal molecules. Previously we demonstrated that activated astrocytes release nitric oxide which can downregulate the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-2 in co-cultured cere
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) elicits vasodilation of resistance-sized coronary microvessels. Since coronary blood flow increases during hypoxia, we tested the hypotheses that: (1) hypoxia results in increased blood flow through increased NO productio
We recently reported that the infection of macrophages with Leishmania major led to the release of type 1 interferons (IFN- Β§ / g ). Moreover, at day 1 of infection of mice with L. major, IFN- Β§ / g was required for the expression of type 2 (inducible) NO synthase (NOS2 or iNOS) which, however, was
To investigate the mechanisms by which lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects Ca2+ signaling systems, we studied the effects of LPS on the serotonin (5-HT)- or thrombin-induced intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) increase in rat C6 glioma cells. Pretreatment of the cells with 1 microg/ml LPS for 24 hr significan
