Содержание слайда: The structure and nature of Nitric Oxide Nitric oxide is a diatomic free radical consisting of one atom of nitrogen and one atom of oxygen Lipid soluble and very small for easy passage between cell membranes Short lived, usually degraded or reacted within a few seconds The natural form is a gas

Содержание слайда: NO: Unique messenger and play important role in following functions: Neuronal signaling Penile erection Cardiovascular homeostasis Decompensation in atherogenesis

Содержание слайда: NOBEL PRIZE Dr. Robert Farchgott, an 82-year-old pharmacist at the University of New York, studying the effects of medication on blood vessels, first noticed that the same drugs in some cases cause enlargement, and in others - the narrowing of the same vessels. The scientist was interested in whether the opposite results can depend on the condition of the inner surface (endothelium) of the cells inside the blood vessels.

Содержание слайда: NOBEL PRIZE In 1980, in a simple experiment with acetilcholine, he showed that this substance dilates the blood vessels in those cases when the wall of the vessels is not damaged. R. Farchgotta concluded that intact endothelial cells produce an unknown signal hitherto relaxing the smooth musculature of the vessels. This scientist called the molecule EDRF, which meant "endothelium-receiving-distributing factor." In search of an unknown signal molecule, In search of an unknown signal molecule, independently of R. Farchgott, Dr. Louis Ignarro, a 57-year-old scientist from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), took part. In search of the chemical nature of EDRF, L. Ignarro conducted a brilliant series of studies and in 1986 came to the conclusion that EDRF is identical to nitric oxide.

Содержание слайда: NOBEL PRIZE 62-year-old pharmacologist Ferid Murad from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston analyzed the pharmacological effect of giving nitroglycerin and other related vasodilators. In 1977, he established that these substances release nitric oxide, which expands the smooth muscle of cells. The idea that gas can regulate the most important cellular functions, seized him, but at that time he did not have sufficient experimental justifications to confirm this idea.

Содержание слайда: NO functions This was the first discovery that gas can act as a molecule signal in the body. It turned out that nitric oxide protects the heart, stimulates the brain, kills bacteria, etc. Further results confirmed that nitric oxide is a signal molecule, primarily for the cardiovascular system, as well as for a number of other functions, for example, as a signal molecule in Nervous system.

Содержание слайда: Induction of biosynthesis

Содержание слайда: Intracellular signaling cascade Nitric oxide (II), a highly reactive free radical, diffuses through the cell membrane of smooth muscle cells of blood vessels and interacts with the heme prosthetic group of soluble called guanylate cyclase, nitrospirae it and the resulting disconnection of the iron heme with a proximal leucine and configuration change of the enzyme, leading to its activation. Guanylate cyclase activation leads to increased formation in the secondary cell mediator cyclic GMP (cGMP) — (3’,5’-guanosine-monophosphate) from GTP (guanosine triphosphate). In addition, nitric oxide (II) is also nitrosonium group other important heme iron enzymes, in particular cytochromes and cytochromoxidase, which leads to inhibition of their activity, slowing the rate of oxidative metabolism in mitochondria and reduce oxygen consumption of the smooth muscle cell (which is important in hypoxia conditions).

Содержание слайда: Synthesis of NO NO is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) which oxidizes a guanidine nitrogen of L-arginine releasing nitric oxide in the form of a free radical and citrulline.

Содержание слайда: Nitric oxide as a Signal Nitric oxide couples G protein-linked receptor stimulation in endothelial cells to relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels.  NO synthase converts arginine to citrulline and NO.  The binding of acetylcholine causes the release of NO in vascular endothelial cells that causes the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle (vasodialator).  1) binding of acetylcholine to G protein receptors causes InsP3 production.  2) InsP3 releases calcium ions from endoplasmic reticulum.  3) ca++ ions and calmodulin form complex which stimulates NO synthase to produce NO.  4) NO (g) diffuses from endothelial cell into adjacent smooth muscle cells.  5) In smooth muscle cell, NO activates guanylyl cyclase to make cyclic GMP (cGMP).  6) cGMP activates protein kinase G which phosphorylates several muscle proteins to induce muscle relaxation. 

Содержание слайда: The role of NO in Nervous System It was found that nitric oxide activates the ejection process of neurotransmitters from nerve endings during synaptic transmission. Moreover, a molecule of nitric oxide can itself play the role of a neurotransmitter, that is, directly transmit a signal from one nerve cell to another. Not surprisingly, nitric oxide is present in all parts of the human brain: the hypothalamus, the midbrain, the cortex, the hippocampus, the medulla oblongata, and others.

Содержание слайда: The role of NO in Cardio-Vascular System NO Regulates the relaxation of smooth muscle vessels and the synthesis of so-called "heat shock proteins" that "protect" the vessels in coronary heart disease. Inhibits the aggregation (clumping) of platelets, affects the transfer of oxygen by erythrocytes, as well as reactions involving chemically active molecules (free radicals) in the blood.

Содержание слайда: The role of NO in Immune System The activation of cells involved in the immune response - macrophages and neutrophils - is accompanied by the release of these cells by nitric oxide.

Содержание слайда: Pecularity of NO A characteristic feature of NO is the ability to diffuse quickly through the membrane of the cell synthesizing it into the intercellular space (in less than 5 seconds) and easily (without the participation of the receptors) to penetrate into the target cells. Inside the cell, it activates certain enzymes and inhibits others, thus participating in the regulation of cellular functions. In fact, nitrogen monoxide is a local tissue hormone. NO plays a key role in suppressing the activity of bacterial and tumor cells by either blocking some of their iron-containing enzymes, or by damaging their cellular structures with nitric oxide or free radicals formed from nitric oxide.

Содержание слайда: Peculiarity of NO.. At the same time, a superoxide accumulates in the inflammatory focus, which causes damage to the proteins and lipids of the cell membranes, which explains its cytotoxic effect on the target cell. Consequently, NO, accumulating excessively in a cell, can act in two ways: on the one hand, it causes DNA damage and, on the other hand, has a antiinflammatory effect.

Содержание слайда: Pecularity of NO.. Nitric oxide can initiate the formation of blood vessels. In the case of myocardial infarction, nitric oxide plays a positive role, as it induces a new vascular growth, but in cancer, the same process causes the development of tumors, promoting the nutrition and growth of cancer cells. On the other hand, as a result, the delivery of nitric oxide to tumor cells is improved. DNA damage due to NO is one of the reasons for the development of apoptosis (the programmed process of cellular "suicide", aimed at removing cells that have lost their functions). In the experiments, there was deamination of deoxynucleosides, deoxynucleotides and undamaged DNA upon exposure to a solution saturated with NO. This process is responsible for increasing the sensitivity of cells to alkylating agents and ionizing radiation, which is used in anticancer therapy.

Содержание слайда: Conclusion Conclusion NO is a universal messenger molecule It is involved in a wide variety of pathophysiogical and biochemical reactions. In summary NO is involved in regulation of B.P., prevention of aggregation and adhesion of platelets, promotion of penile erection. Other way to increase active concentration of endogenous NO such as by prolonging its half life of duration of its actions. NO donating compounds can be used as replacement therapy to treat its impaired production NO also as therapeutic potential for Ischemic CVS diseases, pulmonary hypertension associated with cardiac and respiratory diseases. They are far from ideal because of the associated side effect mainly due to the catabolism of NO into NO2 Therefore a technology to regulate in vivo synthesis of NO by genetic manipulation would be a welcome move.
