1 LPS-induced NO production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression were significantly enhanced in the macrophages isolated from rats injected intraperitoneally with docetaxel (4 mg/kg body weight per day for 5 consecutive days) compared with those in macrophages from control rats administrated a vehicle. Docetaxel nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 LPS-induced NO production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression were significantly enhanced in the macrophages isolated from rats injected intraperitoneally with docetaxel (4 mg/kg body weight per day for 5 consecutive days) compared with those in macrophages from control rats administrated a vehicle. Docetaxel nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 On the other hand, in vitro treatment of macrophages with docetaxel (5 and 10 microg/ml) inhibited LPS-induced NO production and iNOS expression. Docetaxel nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 These results suggest that docetaxel has an enhancing action in vivo on LPS-induced iNOS expression and subsequent NO production through stimulation of p38 activity in alveolar macrophages. Docetaxel nitric oxide synthase 2 Rattus norvegicus
