1 Role of reactive oxygen species in the signalling cascade of cyclosporine A-mediated up-regulation of eNOS in vascular endothelial cells. Reactive Oxygen Species nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
2 As some effects of CsA may be mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), present experiments were devoted to test the hypothesis that the CsA-induced eNOS up-regulation could be dependent on an increased synthesis of ROS. Reactive Oxygen Species nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
3 Two ROS generating systems, xanthine plus xanthine oxidase (XXO) and glucose oxidase (GO), increased the expression of eNOS mRNA in BAEC, an effect which was maximal after 8 h of incubation (XXO: 168+/-21% of control values. Reactive Oxygen Species nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
4 The ROS-dependent increased eNOS mRNA expression was followed by an increase in eNOS activity. Reactive Oxygen Species nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
5 The ROS-dependent increased eNOS mRNA expression was followed by an increase in eNOS activity. Reactive Oxygen Species nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
6 The present results support a role for ROS, particularly superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, as mediators of the CsA-induced eNOS mRNA up-regulation. Reactive Oxygen Species nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
