1 The anti-platelet agent, ticlopidine, upregulates interleukin-1-Beta-stimulated nitric oxide production in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Ticlopidine interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
2 RESULTS: Ticlopidine enhanced interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced nitrite production in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Ticlopidine interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
3 RESULTS: Ticlopidine enhanced interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced nitrite production in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Ticlopidine interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
4 IL-1beta alone stimulated both intracellular cAMP and cGMP contents, and the addition of ticlopidine further enhanced their contents. Ticlopidine interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
5 KT 5720, a selective inhibitor of protein kinase A, but not KT 5823, a selective inhibitor of protein kinase G, abolished the enhancement of IL-1beta-induced nitrite production by ticlopidine. Ticlopidine interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
6 CONCLUSION: We concluded that ticlopidine enhanced the IL-1beta-induced NO production via cAMP and subsequent activation of protein kinase A in cultured rat VSMC. Ticlopidine interleukin 1 beta Rattus norvegicus
