1 The purpose of this study was to determine if the inflammatory mediators, endotoxin (LPS) and interferon gamma (IFN), stimulate arginine transport and nitric oxide production in a murine breast cancer cell line. Arginine interferon gamma Mus musculus
2 Incubation of EMT-6 with LPS and IFN stimulated arginine transport approximately 70% over control levels at 12 hr and transport returned to basal levels at 24 hr. Arginine interferon gamma Mus musculus
3 Finally, L-arginine was necessary in the media for nitrite accumulation by LPS/IFN-stimulated cells, with maximal accumulation at 1 mM L-arginine. Arginine interferon gamma Mus musculus
4 Finally, L-arginine was necessary in the media for nitrite accumulation by LPS/IFN-stimulated cells, with maximal accumulation at 1 mM L-arginine. Arginine interferon gamma Mus musculus
5 In summary, LPS/IFN stimulate arginine transport and NO production in the EMT-6 breast cancer cell line. Arginine interferon gamma Mus musculus
6 LPS/IFN stimulation of arginine transport may represent an adaptive response to provide increased substrate for enhanced tumor cell NO production. Arginine interferon gamma Mus musculus
