Background: iNOS/NO blocks TNF␣-induced apoptosis by cGMP-dependent and cGMP-independent mechanisms in hepatocytes. Result: TLR4-dependent iNOS expression in hepatocytes leads to NO/cGMP/PKG-dependent TACE/ADAM17 and iRhom2 phosphorylation and interaction, TACE/ADAM17 activation/surface translocation, and TNFR1 shedding. Conclusion: iNOS expression leads to rapid TNFR1 shedding through NO/cGMP/PKG-dependent translocation and activation of TACE/ADAM17. Significance: This novel mechanism for iNOS/NO/cGMP-induced TACE activation and translocation may limit TNF␣-mediated signaling.
