1 Effect of cyclosporin A on the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the gingiva of rats. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 Significantly greater iNOS enzyme activities were detected in lung and gingival tissues obtained from CsA-treated animals than from control animals. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 In addition, cells positively staining for iNOS were clearly observed in both gingival and lung tissues obtained from the CsA-treated animals by immunohistochemistry, whereas a few stained cells were found in those from the control group. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 CONCLUSIONS: The effect of CsA on gingival iNOS expression was evaluated in rats for 4 weeks. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
5 A greater iNOS expression in the gingiva was observed after CsA therapy by both enzyme activities and immunohistochemica staining. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
6 Therefore, we suggest that CsA can increase gingival iNOS expression, which may play an important role in cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
7 Therefore, we suggest that CsA can increase gingival iNOS expression, which may play an important role in cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth. Cyclosporine nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
