The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on H2O2-mediated endothelial permeability. H2O2(0.1 mM) increased permeability at 90 min to 298% of baseline. Spermine NONOate (SNO), an NO donor, at 0.1 or 1 mM did not alter permeability. However, 0.1 mM H2O2+ 1 mM SNO increased permeability to 764%, twice that of 0.1 mM H2O2alone. These treatments were not directly toxic to endothelial cells. This NO effect was concentration dependent, inasmuch as 0.1 mM SNO did not significantly change H2O2-mediated permeability. The NO-enhanced, H2O2-dependent permeability required the simultaneous presence of NO and H2O2, inasmuch as preincubation with SNO for 30 min followed by 0.1 mM H2O2did not alter permeability. Staining of endothelial junctions showed widening of the intercellular space only in junctions of cells exposed to H2O2(0.1 mM) + SNO (1 mM). Furthermore, NO did not affect H2O2metabolism by endothelial cells but significantly depleted intracellular glutathione. This reduction of cell glutathione produced by NO exposure recovered 15–30 min after removal of the NO donor. NO-enhanced permeability was completely blocked by methionine (1 mM), a scavenger of reactive oxygen species, and by the iron chelator desferrioxamine (0.1 mM). These results suggest that NO may exacerbate the effects of H2O2-dependent increase in endothelial monolayer permeability via the iron-catalyzed formation of reactive oxygen metabolites.

Large (pathological) amounts of nitric oxide (NO) induce cell injury, whereas low (physiological) NO concentrations often ameliorate cell injury. We tested the hypotheses that pretreatment of endothelial cells with low concentrations of NO (preconditioning) would prevent injury induced by high NO concentrations. Apoptosis, induced in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) by exposing them to either 4 mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or 0.5 mM N-(2-aminoethyl)- N-(2-hydroxy-2-nitrosohydrazino)-1,2-ethylenediamine (spermine NONOate) for 8 h, was abolished by 24-h pretreatment with either 100 μM SNP, 10 μM spermine NONOate, or 100 μM 8-bromo-cGMP (8-Br-cGMP). Repair of BAECs following wounding, measured as the recovery rate of transendothelial electrical resistance, was delayed by 8-h exposure to 4 mM SNP, and this delay was significantly attenuated by 24-h pretreatment with 100 μM SNP. NO preconditioning produced increased association and expression of soluble guanyl cyclase (sGC) and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). The protective effect of NO preconditioning, but not the injurious effect of 4 mM SNP, was abolished by either a sGC activity inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3- a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) or a HSP90 binding inhibitor (radicicol) and was mimicked by 8-Br-cGMP. We conclude that preconditioning with a low dose of NO donor accelerates repair and maintains endothelial integrity via a mechanism that includes the HSP90/sGC pathway. HSP90/sGC may thus play a role in the protective effects of NO-generating drugs from injurious stimuli.

Angiogenesis, the development of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels, requires the coordinate activation of endothelial cells, which migrate and proliferate to form functional vessels. Endothelial dysfunction and decreased nitric oxide bioavailability may underscore the impairment of angiogenesis. As such, the delivery of exogenous NO is an attractive therapeutic option that has been used to therapeutic angiogenesis. In this paper, a novel group of hybrid nitric oxide-releasing chrysin derivatives was synthesized. The results indicated that all these chrysin derivatives exhibited promotion of endothelial migration and tubulogenesis in vitro as well as stimulation angiogenesis in vivo.Furthermore, all compounds released NO upon incubation with phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and enhanced VEGF secretion and VEGF mRNA expression of endothelial cells. These hybrid ester NO donor prodrugs offer a potential drug design concept for the development of therapeutic or preventive agents for angiogenesis deficiency due to ischemic diseases.

S-nitrosation of thiols in key proteins in cell signaling pathways is thought to be an important contributor to nitric oxide (NO)-dependent control of vascular (patho)physiology. Multiple metabolic enzymes are targets of both NO and S-nitrosation, including those involved in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Thus it is important to understand how these metabolic pathways are integrated by NO-dependent mechanisms. Here, we compared the effects of NO and S-nitrosation on both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in bovine aortic endothelial cells using extracellular flux technology to determine common and unique points of regulation. The compound S-nitroso-l-cysteine (l-CysNO) was used to initiate intracellular S-nitrosation since it is transported into cells and results in stable S-nitrosation in vitro. Its effects were compared with the NO donor DetaNONOate (DetaNO). DetaNO treatment caused only a decrease in the reserve respiratory capacity; however, l-CysNO impaired both this parameter and basal respiration in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, DetaNO stimulated extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), a surrogate marker of glycolysis, whereas l-CysNO stimulated ECAR at low concentrations and inhibited it at higher concentrations. Moreover, a temporal relationship between NO- and S-nitrosation-mediated effects on metabolism was identified, whereby NO caused a rapid impairment in mitochondrial function, which was eventually overwhelmed by S-nitrosation-dependent processes. Taken together, these results suggest that severe pharmacological nitrosative stress may differentially regulate metabolic pathways through both intracellular S-nitrosation and NO-dependent mechanisms. Moreover, these data provide insight into the role of NO and related compounds in vascular (patho)physiology.
