RECENT ADVANCES IN THE ROLE OF NO
Abstract Nitric oxide functions as pertinent protective agent in endothelial tissue of the cardiac system. NO is mostly released from its enzymatic precursor, nitric oxide synthase. Its roles are widespread, acting to control vascular tone and central blood perfusion, inhibit platelet aggregation thus preventing the formation of thrombi, maintain metabolism of the L-arginine pathway, and provides a central defense to pathological conditions including atherosclerosis, diabetes, arterial wall hypertension, and coronary arterial disease which occurs from endothelial damage in vivo.
RECENT ADVANCES IN THE ROLE OF NO
Recent Advances in the Pathophysiological Role of Nitric Oxide In Endothelial Tissue Recent and interesting advances in the pathophysiological role of nitric oxide (NO) in human endothelial tissue in the cardiac system have been discovered which have allowed a better understanding of clinical disease and implications of the presence or absence of NO. The L-arginine NO pathway has been proven to play a ubiquitous role in internal endothelial vasculature especially in cellular respiration. NO modulates smooth muscle cell proliferation and maintains vasodilator tone, inhibits platelet aggregation, and provides collateral circulation of blood, maintaining systemic perfusion (Porth, C.M., and Matfin, G., 2005, p.469). NOs pathway works in tandem with endothelium-derived growth factor (the biochemistry of nitric oxide) which is synthesized from the amino acid L-arginine. This pathway is centrally vital to the maintenance of vascular physiology, including: mediation of cellular defense and neurotransmitter function in both the peripheral and central nervous (Moncada & Higgs, 2006). Endothelial cells lining the blood vessels, including the coronaries, barricade blood from arterial walls. The structure of the elastic vasculature allow for vasoconstriction and dilation. The contraction and relaxation of arterial smooth muscle walls is dependent on several substances internally released from endothelial tissue. Such molecules are potent vasodilators including: prostacyclin, endothelium derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), and most importantly, NO. Products occurring from thrombin, increased shear force, and aggregating platelets stimulate the generation and release of NO. Vasoconstrictors are also released via endothelial tissue and include vasoconstriction factors, primarily endothelins (Porth, C.M., and Matfin, G., 2005, p.537). All blood vessel types are dilated by vascular NO via the stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase and increased cyclical guanosine monophosphate in (cGMP) smooth muscle cells. (The discovery of nitric oxide and its role in vascular biology) Besides the great inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion, NO can also prevent leukocyte adhesion to the vessel walls. These implications are important, as leukocyte adherence occurs as an early event of atherosclerosis; a disease characterized fibrous plaques

within the vessels and arteries resulting from adhesion with scar tissue formation. NO interferes with the interleukin molecules CD11 and CD18 by inhibiting its ability to form an adhesive bond with on endothelial surface. This normative inhibitory function may provide protection against early onset atherogenesis (Frstermann & Mnze, 2005) and other pathophysiological diseases such as vasospasm and hypertension (Moncada & Higgs, 2006). Furthermore, NO also plays a role in a later step of atherogenesis by inhibiting mitogenesis, DNA synthesis, and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. This functions to provide protection to against smooth muscle from exposure to platelet-derived growth factor(s) via the inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion. Considering the combination of these preventative effects, NO likely serves as the most important antiatherogenic defense principle in endothelial tissue. (Moncada & Higgs, 2006). The NO pathway also regulates cellular respiration via mitochondrial systems which enhance the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increased ROS production is indicated in increased cardiovascular risk factors. Electron flow within nitric oxide synthase is regulated very strictly. If disturbed, the ferrous-dioxygen complex dissociates, the resulting product is O2 instead of NO (Frstermann &Mnzel, 2005). Approximately 10^14 endothelial cells serve to protect the body from vascular disease atherosclerosis and thrombosis by the aid of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), a molecule which generates the vasoprotective enzyme nitric oxide (NO). Oxidative stress occurs from the excess production of superoxide (O2), which reacts with NO, forming peroxynitrite a powerful oxidant. The enzymatic activity of eNOS generate peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and which eventually only produces O2. (Frstermann & Mnzel, 2005) and initiates cellular apoptosis. Clinical conditions of his oxidative species have been implicated and established in pathophysiological conditions including hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. Substantive evidence exists (with regard to the increased ROS formation in vessel endothelium).

Antioxidants treat these clinical pathologies by enhancing endothelium-dependent vasodilation through coronary and forearm circulation in individuals afflicted from CAD and diabetes (Tousoulis, Kampoli, Tentolouris, , Papageorgiou, & Stefanadis, 2012). Aforementioned is the tightly control electron flow within NOS and if disturbed NOS uncoupling may occur. The ferrous-dioxygen complex dissociates, and O2 is generated from the oxygenase domain instead of NO. Recent research advances attribute the NOS-catalyzed reduction of oxygen to O2 by the failure of the enzyme to dimerize. NOS isomers, monomers, and the occasional isolated reductase domains act sufficiently for superoxide generation, however, dimeric NOS isoforms have increased enzymatic activity. Current studies also suggest that the evidence of dimer formation implies that the isoform is unchangeable once dimerization occurs, that is, the isoform shall not return to its monomer. This uncoupling of oxygen reduction via NO formation also is unlikely to provide any significant enzymatic monomerization in vivo (Frstermann &Mnzel, 2005). Alternatively, a few recent studies indicate that endothelial cardiovascular risk factors stem from decreased eNOS expression. The suggested mechanism by which this occurs is thought to be through the excess production of hydrogen peroxide H2O2, which is the dismutation product of O2. The excess production of H202 gives rise to a superoxide effect, which has the ability to interfere with dioxyribonuclease (DNA) activity and expressivity by increasing the eNOS expression, thus effecting its transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms (Frstermann.& Mnzel, 2005). Risk factors that decrease the function of the protective endothelial vasculature include: cigarette smoking, high serum glucose, high levels of serum low density lipoprotein (LDL), and hypertension. Decreased endothelial generation of NO has been implicated in numerous cardiovascular diseases, including pulmonary arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis, which share nearly identical traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors. Decreased endothelial generation of NO reduces endothelial protection which results in the failure of blood platelet aggregation and adhesion inhibition leading to

thrombus formation, hypertension, and vasoconstriction, all presenting with a central schema of specific pathophysiological criteria; endothelial dysfunction. NO is detected via a decrease in endotheliumdependent vasodilation. Now widely accepted, a definition of endothelial dysfunction is simply described as decrease in endothelial NO. In early stages, this characteristic dysfunction has additionally been observed prior to any evidence of cardiovascular disease (in patients with history of familial essential hypertension). A major risk factor and predictor of the presence of cardio vascular disease associated with endothelial dysfunction is cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoking is though mainly to reduce the bioavailability of NO. This results from its chemical ROS, namely O2. Another suggested mechanism of endothelial dysfunction is the modification of eNOS substrates within its cofactors; including L-arginine or tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).Alternatively, cigarette smoking may decrease the production of NO by reducing expression of eNOS in endothelial tissue (Moncada & Higgs, 2006). In conclusion, vascular biology has been majorly impacted by the role of NO and its regulatory functions. Its interactions provide a foundation of research knowledge which can soon be translated clinically based on its risk factors for endothelial dysfunction when nitric oxide bioavailability is lost. Impaired endothelial function results from the promotion of vessel wall inflammation and may cause the formation of extracellular matrix deposit, the occurrence of cellular apoptosis, blood platelet aggregation, thrombi formation, serum lipidemia, lipid-deposit, and possibly smooth muscle proliferation. All of these impairments of endothelial function to contribute to congestive heart disease, essential hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and an increasing list of pathophysiological cardiac disease which may result in atherosclerosis. Therapeutic treatment may stem from the enhancement of endogenous nitric oxide production or exogenous supplemental nitrous oxide donation. Much research and further investigation (for treatment reliability) is needed for this novel approach to restore endothelial function.
