Enhancement of Nitric Oxide Bioavailability by Modulation of Cutaneous Nitric Oxide Stores. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092124. [PMID: 36140225 PMCID: PMC9496039 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10092124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The generation of nitric oxide (NO) in the skin plays a critical role in wound healing and the response to several stimuli, such as UV exposure, heat, infection, and inflammation. Furthermore, in the human body, NO is involved in vascular homeostasis and the regulation of blood pressure. Physiologically, a family of enzymes termed nitric oxide synthases (NOS) generates NO. In addition, there are many methods of non-enzymatic/NOS-independent NO generation, e.g., the reduction of NO derivates (NODs) such as nitrite, nitrate, and nitrosylated proteins under certain conditions. The skin is the largest and heaviest human organ and contains a comparatively high concentration of these NODs; therefore, it represents a promising target for many therapeutic strategies for NO-dependent pathological conditions. In this review, we give an overview of how the cutaneous NOD stores can be targeted and modulated, leading to a further accumulation of NO-related compounds and/or the local and systemic release of bioactive NO, and eventually, NO-related physiological effects with a potential therapeutical use for diseases such as hypertension, disturbed microcirculation, impaired wound healing, and skin infections.

Abstract
Skin necrosis is the most serious complication of flap plastic surgery, which means the failure of the operation. Systemic administration rarely benefits the local area and can lead to side effects, while topical administration has poor permeability due to the skin barrier function. Currently, few of these common medical interventions can totally respond to the blood supply of the skin after surgery. Herein, a soluble microneedle (MN) patch made of hyaluronic acid was used to target the ischemic area in a painless and precise manner for transdermal drug delivery. Based on the important role of nitric oxide (NO) in angiogenesis, the thermosensitive NO donor (BNN6) and gold nanorods (GNRs) acting as photothermal agents were introduced into the microneedles (MNs). The hyperthermia induced by GNRs under near infrared (NIR, 808 nm) irradiation could enhance the penetration of drugs and facilitate NO release from BNN6. A series of corresponding experiments proved that the system played a significant promotion role in vascular regeneration, providing a painless, precise and NO-assisted treatment method for the ischemic perforator flaps.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO•) is a free radical gas, produced in the human body to regulate physiological processes, such as inflammatory and immune responses. It is required for skin health; therefore, a lack of NO• is known to cause or worsen skin conditions related to three biomedical applications- infection treatment, injury healing, and blood circulation. Therefore, research on its topical release has been increasing for the last two decades. The storage and delivery of nitric oxide in physiological conditions to compensate for its deficiency is achieved through pharmacological compounds called NO-donors. These are further incorporated into scaffolds to enhance therapeutic treatment. A wide range of polymeric scaffolds has been developed and tested for this purpose. Hence, this review aims to give a detailed overview of the natural, synthetic, and semisynthetic polymeric matrices that have been evaluated for antimicrobial, wound healing, and circulatory dermal applications. These matrices have already set a solid foundation in nitric oxide release and their future perspective is headed toward an enhanced controlled release by novel functionalized semisynthetic polymer carriers and co-delivery synergetic platforms. Finally, further clinical tests on patients with the targeted condition will hopefully enable the eventual commercialization of these systems.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) can either boost or impede the growth of cancer cells depending on its concentration. Therefore, any anticancer treatment using NO requires precisely controlled NO administration to the target cells in terms of dosage and timing. In this context, photochemically activated NO donors were actively explored, but their detailed NO-releasing dynamics, which is crucial for their use, is not known yet. We determined detailed photoexcitation dynamics of a stable, nontoxic, and water-soluble NO precursor, cysteine-bound Roussin's Red Ester (Cys-RRE), including secondary reactions of the nascent photoproducts. The primary quantum yields of the NO dissociation from the photoexcited Cys-RRE were found to be 24-54% depending on the excitation wavelength; however, the geminate rebinding of NO with the nascent radical reduced the level of biologically available NO to as low as 12%. Such information is useful to achieve efficient NO delivery to practical chemical and biological targets.

Abstract
Treatment with cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been reported to promote wound healing in animals. However, how this process is mediated remains unclear. In this study we examined the mechanisms which underlie the improved wound healing effects of CAP and the roles of associated reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which are generated by plasma. By using in vitro models which mimicked various steps of angiogenesis, we demonstrated that CAP triggered the production of nitric oxide (NO), and enhanced cell migration and the assembly of endothelial cells into vessel-like structures. These are both hallmarks of the proliferative phase of wound healing. Using a mouse model of a third-degree burn wound, we went on to show that CAP treatment was associated with enhanced angiogenesis, characterised by accelerated in vivo wound healing and increased cellular proliferation. Here, CAP significantly increased the in vivo production of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), an enzyme that catalyses NO synthesis in endothelial cells, and significantly increased the expression of pro-angiogenic PDGFRβ and CD31 markers in mouse wounds. Mechanistically, we showed that CAP induced eNOS phosphorylation and activation, thereby increasing the levels of endogenous NO in endothelial cells. Increased NO generation facilitated by CAP further stimulated important pro-angiogenic VEGFA/VEGFR2 signalling in vitro. This proof-of-concept study may guide future efforts aimed at addressing the use of physical plasma and its therapeutic applications in a variety of pathological scenarios. © 2019 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Abstract
S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is a naturally available S-nitrosothiol that can be incorporated into non-toxic formulations intended for topical use. The value of nitric oxide (NO) delivered topically relates to its well-studied physiological functions such as vasodilation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Previously reported topical NO-releasing substrates include polymeric materials that exhibit non-toxic behaviors on dermal tissue such as polyethylene glycol. However, they do not serve as humectants nor provide vitamins to the skin. In this study, GSNO was added to an emulsion that was fortified with α-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) and hyaluronic acid. The average total NO content for the NO-releasing emulsion was 58 ± 8 μmol g−1 at 150 °C and the cumulative NO release over 53 h at physiological temperature (37.4 °C) was 46 ± 4 μmol g−1. The GSNO concentration in the lotion was optimized in order to reach a pH value similar to that of human skin (pH 5.5). The viscosity was analyzed using a rotational viscometer for the S-nitrosated and the non-nitrosated emulsions to obtain a material that can be readily spread on dermal tissue. The viscosity values obtained ranged from 7.88 ± 0.99 to 8.50 ± 0.36 Pa s. Previous studies have determined that the viscosity maximum for lotions is 100 Pa s. A low viscosity increases the diffusion coefficient of active ingredients to the skin given that they are inversely proportional as described by the Einstein–Smoluchowski equation. The effect of the S-nitrosated and non-nitrosated emulsions on adult human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) was assessed in comparison to untreated HDFs using Colorimetric Cell Viability Kit I-WST-8. The findings indicate that neither the S-nitrosated nor non-nitrosated emulsions induced cytotoxicity in HDFs. S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is a naturally available S-nitrosothiol that can be incorporated into non-toxic formulations intended for topical use.![]()

Abstract
The Vectra X3 3-dimensional face scanner allows us to visualise the erythema of superficial layers of skin in addition to its regular scanning functions. The aim of our study was to find out whether changes we provoked in the circulation of the skin would be registered and displayed by the face scanner. We measured the circulation in the skin of the cheeks of 20 volunteers with a face scanner, a laser Doppler device, and a skin pigmentation analyser before and after the application of a nitric oxide cream. The results were compared in terms of grey tones, local concentrations of haemoglobin, and erythema. All methods showed significant changes (p<0.001) before and after application of the cream. The study proved that the Vectra X3 recognises changes in skin circulation and displays them in a simple and evident way.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticle-based transdermal delivery systems is a promising approach to efficiently carry and deliver therapeutic agents for dermal and systemic administration. Nitric oxide (NO) is a key molecule that plays important roles in human skin such as the control of skin homeostasis, skin defense, control of dermal blood flow, and wound healing. In addition, human skin contains stores of NO derivatives that can be mobilized and release free NO upon UV irradiation with beneficial cardiovascular effects, for instance the control of blood pressure. In this work, the NO donor precursor glutathione (GSH) was encapsulated (encapsulation efficiency of 99.60%) into ultra-small chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) (hydrodynamic size of 30.65 ± 11.90 nm). GSH-CS NPs have a core-shell structure, as revealed by atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in which GSH is protected in the nanoparticle core. Nitrosation of GSH by nitrous acid led to the formation of the NO donor S-nitrosogluthathione (GSNO) into CS NPs. The GSNO release from the CS NPs followed a Fickian diffusion described by the Higuchi mathematical model. Topical application of GSNO-CS NPs in intact human skin significantly increased the levels of NO and its derivatives in the epidermis, as assayed by confocal microscopy, and this effect was further enhanced by skin irradiation with UV light. Therefore, NO-releasing CS NPs are suitable materials for transdermal NO delivery to local and/or systemic therapies.

Abstract
This study examined the influence of age, gender and race on nitric oxide (NO) release over acupuncture points, meridian without acupoint, and non-meridian regions of the Pericardium (PC) and Bladder (BL) meridian as well as aging on LU meridian in 61 healthy subjects. Biocapture tubes were attached to the skin surface, and total nitrite and nitrate was biocaptured and quantified using chemiluminescence. In elder ages compared to adults, NO levels over the ventral forearm were significantly decreased over LU on radial regions but not altered over PC on medial regions. Conversely, NO content was elevated over BL regions only in overweight/obesity of elder ages. NO levels over PC regions were marginally elevated in overweight/obese males compared to females but did not alter between races. These results suggest a selective reduction of NO release over LU meridian with aging, which is consistent with a progressive decline in lung function and increase in chronic respiratory disease in elder ages. Increased NO levels along the BL meridian in older obese subjects may reflect a modified NO level along somatic-bladder pathway for counteracting bladder dysfunctions with aging. Both of them support somatic-organ connections in the meridian system associated with potential pathophysiological changes with aging.

Abstract
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) devices generate air plasma above the skin containing active and reactive species including nitric oxide (NO). Since NO plays an essential role in skin physiology, a topical application of NO by plasma may be useful in the treatment of skin infections, impaired microcirculation and wound healing. Thus, after safety assessments of plasma treatment using human skin specimen and substitutes, NO-penetration through the epidermis, the loading of skin tissue with NO-derivates in vitro and the effects on human skin in vivo were determined. After the plasma treatment (0-60 min) of skin specimen or reconstructed epidermis no damaging effects were found (TUNEL/MTT). By Franz diffusion cell experiments plasma-induced NO penetration through epidermis and dermal enrichment with NO related species (nitrite 6-fold, nitrate 7-fold, nitrosothiols 30-fold) were observed. Furthermore, skin surface was acidified (~pH 2.7) by plasma treatment (90 s). Plasma application on the forearms of volunteers increased microcirculation fourfold in 1-2 mm and twofold in 6-8 mm depth in the treated skin areas. Regarding the NO-loading effects, skin acidification and increase in dermal microcirculation, plasma devices represent promising tools against chronic/infected wounds. However, efficacy of plasma treatment needs to be quantified in further studies and clinical trials.

The study of the complexes of nitromedicine with cytochrome c and NO-containing aqueous dosage form in the wound treatment of rats. Nitric Oxide 2014; 42:62-9.

Abstract
The interaction of cytochrome c with nitromedicines, such as 5-nitrofural, 5-nitroxoline, metronidazole and sodium nitrite which enables the generation of nitric oxide or nitrosyl complexes in the presence of ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate in acid medium has been investigated. The pharmaceutical compositions containing cytochrome c and nitromedicine complexes as active substances were studied in the experiments by using rats. It has been shown that positive local and systemic effects were estimated when NO-containing gel was used at burn treatment. These positive effects at the local level are due to a sufficient microcirculation index which indicates intensification of the blood flow in the microvessels in the injured area. These effects at the systemic level provide maintenance of the general heart rhythm and gradual recovery of the vegetative balance which is not observed in the animals of the control group.

Mechanism and biological relevance of blue-light (420-453 nm)-induced nonenzymatic nitric oxide generation from photolabile nitric oxide derivates in human skin in vitro and in vivo. Free Radic Biol Med 2013; 65:1363-1377.

Abstract
Human skin contains photolabile nitric oxide (NO) derivates such as nitrite and S-nitrosothiols, which upon UVA radiation decompose under high-output NO formation and exert NO-specific biological responses such as increased local blood flow or reduced blood pressure. To avoid the injurious effects of UVA radiation, we here investigated the mechanism and biological relevance of blue-light (420-453 nm)-induced nonenzymatic NO generation from photolabile nitric oxide derivates in human skin in vitro and in vivo. As quantified by chemiluminescence detection (CLD), at physiological pH blue light at 420 or 453 nm induced a significant NO formation from S-nitrosoalbumin and also from aqueous nitrite solutions by a to-date not entirely identified Cu(1+)-dependent mechanism. As detected by electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry in vitro with human skin specimens, blue light irradiation significantly increased the intradermal levels of free NO. As detected by CLD in vivo in healthy volunteers, irradiation of human skin with blue light induced a significant emanation of NO from the irradiated skin area as well as a significant translocation of NO from the skin surface into the underlying tissue. In parallel, blue light irradiation caused a rapid and significant rise in local cutaneous blood flow as detected noninvasively by using micro-light-guide spectrophotometry. Irradiation of human skin with moderate doses of blue light caused a significant increase in enzyme-independent cutaneous NO formation as well as NO-dependent local biological responses, i.e., increased blood flow. The effects were attributed to blue-light-induced release of NO from cutaneous photolabile NO derivates. Thus, in contrast to UVA, blue-light-induced NO generation might be therapeutically used in the treatment of systemic and local hemodynamic disorders that are based on impaired physiological NO production or bioavailability.

Opländer C, Müller T, Baschin M, Bozkurt A, Grieb G, Windolf J, Pallua N, Suschek CV. Characterization of novel nitrite-based nitric oxide generating delivery systems for topical dermal application. Nitric Oxide 2012; 28:24-32. [PMID: 23036613 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2012.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2012] [Revised: 09/21/2012] [Accepted: 09/24/2012] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Topical application of nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to exert beneficial effects in the therapy of chronic wounds, impaired microcirculation, and skin infections. Nitrite acidified by ascorbic acid has been widely used in many studies as NO-donor system, unfortunately with inflammatory and toxic effects on the treated skin due to unregulated excessive NO generation, low pH and possible toxic side products. Here we describe an essentially modified nitrite based NO generating system that avoid the mentioned unwanted side effects on human skin by using a pH-stable acetate/acetic acid buffer with a skin neutral pH of 5.5 and sodium ascorbate. In order to overcome the shortcoming of lower NO yields due to the higher pH-value and low nitrite concentrations, we have determined additionally the influence of copper ions. To investigate the influence of different NO release and penetration kinetics on NO-induced toxicity, we have developed a fibroblast assay using cell culture plates with gas permeable bottoms. The results show clearly that the donor system can achieve a sustained NO generation without generating high peaks. Furthermore, the presence of Cu(2+) ions enhances manifold NO generation of pH/ascorbate-induced nitrite decomposition, a mechanism comprising the reduction of Cu(2+) ions to Cu(1+) by ascorbate. Finally, we have found that apart from the NO dose the NO release kinetics had a significant influence of cell toxicity. Thus, application of comparable NO amounts within a time interval of 600s led to the development of variable cell toxicities, which predominantly depended on the NO concentration values generated in the first 200s. In summary, we here describe a novel nitrite-based NO-donor system that can provide well defined NO concentrations at skin neutral pH-values for side effect poor topical dermal application, i.e. in the therapy of chronic wounds and impaired microcirculation.
