Abstract
NOS-NO system activity is closely correlated with ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and NOS subtypes were suggested to play different roles in IRI. In this work, the activity of serum NOS, NO levels, and ischemic necrosis after reperfusion in rabbit with AMI at different time was studied. We also explored the NOS-NO system activity changes and its correlation with myocardial ischemia and necrosis. It shows that after reperfusion in rabbits with AMI, NO-NOS system activities present different changes at each time point due to inactivation of NO and iNOS activation, and different experimental animals, ischemia-reperfusion degree, and length of time will also lead to different research results. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct dynamic observation on animals from different species at multi-temporal point under the state of NOS-NO system activities, and simultaneously detect inflammatory factor, MDA, and SOD indexes. Therefore, it is a must to conduct relevant drug research studies to make NOS-NO system activities maintain the level in favor of ideal myocardial ischemia reperfusion.

Effects of Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning on the Internal Thoracic Artery Nitric Oxide Synthase Isoforms in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10121910. [PMID: 34943013 PMCID: PMC8750270 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10121910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a medical procedure that consists of repeated brief periods of transient ischaemia and reperfusion of distant organs (limbs) with the ability to provide internal organ protection from ischaemia. Even though RIPC has been successfully applied in patients with myocardial infarction during coronary revascularization (surgery/percutaneous angioplasty), the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be clarified. Thus, our study aimed to determine the role of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms in RIPC-induced protection (3 × 5 min of forearm ischaemia with 5 min of reperfusion) of arterial graft in patients undergoing urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We examined RIPC effects on specific expression and immunolocalization of three NOS isoforms — endothelial (eNOS), inducible (iNOS) and neuronal (nNOS) in patients’ internal thoracic artery (ITA) used as a graft. We found that the application of RIPC protocol leads to an increased protein expression of eNOS, which was further confirmed with strong eNOS immunopositivity, especially in the endothelium and smooth muscle cells of ITA. The same analysis of two other NOS isoforms, iNOS and nNOS, showed no significant differences between patients undergoing CABG with or without RIPC. Our results demonstrate RIPC-induced upregulation of eNOS in human ITA, pointing to its significance in achieving protective phenotype on a systemic level with important implications for graft patency.

J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 2020; 74:183-191. [PMID: 32893152 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjps.2020.08.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2019] [Revised: 05/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus increases the susceptibility of free tissue transplantations to ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to enhance nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability through exogenous NO synthase and the substrate L-arginine to attenuate ischemia reperfusion-induced alterations in a type 2 diabetes rodent model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four Wistar rats were divided into 8 experimental groups. Type 2 diabetes was established over 3 months with a combination of a high-fat diet and streptozotocin. A vascular pedicle isolated rat skin flap model that underwent 3 h of ischemia was used. At 30 min before ischemia, normal saline, endothelial NOSs (eNOSs), inducible NOSs, neuronal NOSs (1 and 2 IU), and L-arginine (50 mg/kg body weight) were administered by intravenous infusion alone or in combination. Ischemia-reperfusion-induced alterations were measured 5 days after the operation. RESULTS The three isoforms of NOS significantly increased the flap vitality rate (VR) between 20% and 28% as compared to the control group (3%). Sole L-arginine administration increased the VR to 33%. The combination of L-arginine with NOS resulted in a further increase in flap VRs (39%-50%). Best results were achieved with the combination of eNOS and L-arginine (50%). An increase in enzyme dosage led to decreased VRs in all NOS isoforms alone and even in combination with L-arginine. CONCLUSION Modulation of NO bioavailability through the exogenous application of NOSs and L-arginine significantly attenuated ischemia-reperfusion-induced alterations in a type 2 diabetic skin flap rat model. The combination of enzyme and substrate result in the highest VRs. Higher enzyme dosage seems to be less effective. This pharmacological preconditioning could be an easy and effective interventional strategy to support the conversion of L-arginine to NO in ischemic and in type 2 diabetic conditions.

Pharmaceutical Preconditioning With Nitric Oxide Synthase and L-Arginine in Ischemic Tissues. Ann Plast Surg 2019; 84:705-710.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional signaling molecule involved in regulating vascular tone and tissue oxygenation. It is also an important cytoprotective agent against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Enhancing NO bioavailability via exogenous NO synthases (NOSs) and L-arginine promotes conversation to NO, circumventing the problem of nonfunctioning NOSs under hypoxic and acidic conditions. In this study, the authors evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of neuronal, inducible, and endothelial NOS and L-arginine on reperfusion-induced skin flap alterations. METHODS The vascular pedicle isolated rat skin flap model was used and underwent 3 hours of ischemia. At 30 minutes before ischemia, normal saline, endothelial-, inducible-, and neuronal NOSs (1/2 IU) and L-arginine (100 mg/kg body weight) were administered by means of intravenous infusion. The IRI-induced alterations were measured 5 days after the operation. RESULTS The 3 isoforms of NOS increased the flap vitality rate (VR) from 10% to 23% compared with the control group. L-Arginine treatment also increased the VR by approximately 15%. The combination of L-arginine with NOS resulted in even higher flap VRs. The best results could be achieved with the combination of endothelial NOS (2 IU) and L-arginine. CONCLUSIONS Modulation of NO bioavailability via exogenous application of NOSs and L-arginine significantly improved VRs in a skin flap rat model. This pharmacologic preconditioning has the potential to attenuate IRI-induced alterations in skin flaps.
