Contribution of NO synthases to neutrophil infiltration in the gastric mucosal lesions in rats with water immersion restraint stress

Abstract: A decrease in constitutive NO synthase (cNOS) activity and an increase in inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activity occurred with an increase in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, an index of neutrophil infiltration, in the gastric mucosa of rats with water immersion restraint (WIR) stress. This increase in gastric mucosal MPO activity was enhanced by pretreatment with N q -monomethyl L-arginine, a non-selective NOS inhibitor, but was prevented with maintenance of gastric mucosal cNOS activity by pretreatment with am… Show more

“…In addition, NO from cNOS has an inhibitory role in neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesive interactions in postcapillary venules, leading to the inhibition of neutrophil infiltration into tissues (Nishida et al, 1999). Similar results obtained in other reports also indicated that a decrease in cNOS could contribute to an increase in neutrophil infiltration in the gastric mucosa of water immersion restraint (WIR)-stressed rats, which may help to maintain the mucosal integrity of the stomach (Nishida et al, 1998). However, NO generated by iNOS may be involved in leukocyte adhesion, inflammatory cell infiltration and parenchyma cell dysfunction (Kobata et al, 2007;Lanteri et al, 2003), all have a deleterious influence on the gastric mucosal integrity.…”

“…Neutrophil infiltration plays a very important role in the progression of injury and inflammation by aggregation and release of tissue-disrupting substance in various tissues, plus gastric mucosal lesions [26,27]. Prior study has established that neutrophil infiltration into gastric mucosal tissues is involved in the progress of acute gastric mucosal lesions [28]. The accumulation of neutrophil infiltration into the gastric mucosal tissues is estimated by MPO [29].…”

“…Recruitment and activation of neutrophils contribute greatly to the pathophysiological processes occurring in gastric mucosa at the later stage of stress (13,14). Synthesis and release of inflammatory mediators, especially of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-␣, IL-1␤, and IL-18, of chemokines such as cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 (CINC-1, a rat analog of human IL-8/Gro-␣ and a potent neutrophil chemoattractant), and of adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1 as well as of inducible NO synthase/NO, are recently emerged as important determinants of mucosal inflammation and gastric injury following cold immobilization stress (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). However, despite intense research, much is unknown about the molecular mechanism or the signal transduction mechanism by which this type of stress induces the incidence of acute gastric mucosal injury.…”
