Relative contributions of NOS isoforms during experimental colitis: endothelial-derived NOS maintains mucosal integrity

Abstract

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in inflammatory bowel diseases has traditionally focused on the inducible form of NO synthase (iNOS). However, the constitutive endothelial (eNOS) and neuronal (nNOS) isoforms may also impact on colitis, either by contributing to the inflammation or by regulating mucosal integrity in response to noxious stimuli. To date, studies examining the roles of the NOS isoforms in experimental colitis have been conflicting, and the mechanisms by which these enzymes exert their effects remain unclear. To investigate and clarify the roles of the NOS isoforms in gut inflammation, we induced trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid colitis in eNOS, nNOS, and iNOS knockout (KO) mice, assessing the course of colitis at early and late times. Both eNOS and iNOS KO mice developed a more severe colitis compared with wild-type mice. During colitis, iNOS expression dramatically increased on epithelial and lamina propria mononuclear cells, whereas eNOS expression remained localized to endothelial cells. Electron and fluorescence microscopy identified bacteria in the ulcerated colonic mucosa of eNOS KO mice, but not in wild-type, iNOS, or nNOS KO mice. Furthermore, eNOS KO mice had fewer colonic goblet cells, impaired mucin productio...Continue Reading
