L-Arginine-dependent formation of N-nitrosamines by the cytosol of macrophages activated with lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ

Abstract: The cytosol fraction of J774-1 murine macrophages activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was found to nitrosate a wide range of secondary and tertiary amines. The reaction was dependent on L-arginine and NADPH. The optimal pH for nitrosation was 7.2-7.3. Nitrosation was inhibited by arginine derivatives such as NG-monomethyl-L-arginine and NG-nitro-L-arginine, well-known inhibitors of nitric oxide (NO) synthase. These results indicate that nitrosation is mediated by NO synthase,… Show more

“…First, it is well documented that the synthesis of nitric acid and nitrosamine(s) can be stimulated greatly by the cytosol of macrophages activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and γ-interferon. 28 Second, E. coli infection accelerated urothelial proliferation. This may have augmented the mutagenic effect of the carcinogen.…”

“…Primary MLFs were isolated from adult lungs (48) and were cultured in complete DMEM medium. For NO production, macrophages were stimulated with 1 μg/ml LPS, and nitrite was measured using the Griess reagent (49).…”

“…Discrepancies between previous results and ours might be attributed to the cotreatment of IFN-␥. IFN-␥ strongly enhanced induction of NO by LPS stimulation in macrophages (14,41,51). Thus, LPS with IFN-␥ led to the production of excess NO, resulting in nitrosylation of the complexes, while NO induced by LPS alone might not be enough to repress complexes in the cells.…”
