Inducible nitrite oxide synthase ( iNOS ) • one of three NOS isoforms ( eNOS:endothlial cells; nNOS: neuronal cells.) • Tissue expression: macrophages,cardiac myocytes,glial cells,vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelium , neurones. • Inducer: bacterial compounds ( LPS ) ,cytokines ( TNF-α,IL-1β,IFN-γ) • Structure:
Cys-S-NO ( S-nitrosylation) NO Metal-NO ( eg: Iron,copper & zinc ,bind to heme group for activation of guanylate cyclase→cGMP ↑) NO + superoxide anion (O2-)→ONOO- ( Nitration and oxidation ) • NO formation catalyzed by NOS • NO fuction: triggering of inflammation, dilating of blood vessels and penile erection • No clinical drugs
Cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2 ) • Known as Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase • One of two COX isoforms ( COX-1 ) • highly induced by following Inducers: LPS,IL-1,TNF-α, IFN-γ,TGF-β,EGF,PDGF,FGF growth factors. • Structure: • Functions: synthesize Prostaglandin E2 from arachidonic acid ( Inflammation ,Fever , Control of blood pressure , Contraction & relaxation of smooth muscle ) • Clinical Cox-2 inhibitors : Vioxx ( Merck ), Celebrex ( Pfizer )
Present reports : Independent pathway Inflammation stimulus iNOS Cox-2 L-arginine Arachidonic acid Increased PGs production NO Inflammation & cytotoxicity Inflammation & Pain
Idea from reported references • Mediation of inflammation by encephalitogenic cells: interferon gamma induction of nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase 2. ( Misko.T.P.etc..J Neuroimmunol.,1995) • Nitrite oxide activates cyclooxygenase enzymes ( Daniela S.etc.,PNAS,1993) • Regulation of prostaglandin biosynthesis by nitrite oxide is revealed by targeted deletion of iNOS ( Lawrence J.M.etc.,J. Bio Chem.2000)
Q1. To determine whether iNOS & Cox-2 interact LPS & IFN-γ RAW 264.7 (Macrophage) Cell lysate Immunoprecipitated by Cox-2 antibody Western blotting with against COX-2 & iNOS antibody
Q2. To determine whether catalytic activity of the enzymes influences their binding 1400W: iNOS inhibitor SC58125: COX-2 inhibitor The binding of iNOS & COX-2 do not affected by the inhibition of catalytic activity
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) iNOS fragments Q3. To map the binding site on iNOS proteins Fusion protein COX-2 full length Co-Transfection HEK293T cells Cell lysate Glutathione agarose beads Western blotting with GST & COX-2 antibody
Ans: 1 to 144 of iNOS within the oxygenase domain is required W.B assay GST pull-down assay
Myc COX-2 fragments Q3. To map the binding site on COX-2 proteins Fusion protein iNOS full length Co-Transfection HEK293T cells Cell lysate Immunoprecipitated with Myc antibody Western blotting with Myc & iNOS antibody
Ans: 484 to 604 of COX-2 mediates binding W.B assay Immunoprecipitation assay
Q4. To explore the possibility of S-nitrosylation of COX-2 by NO ( 13 cysteines ) S-nitrosylation : Cys-S-NO Biotin switch
Ans: NO S-nitrosylates COX-2 GSNO: Glutathione –NO,NO donor GSH: Glutathione NO from iNOS
Q5. To determine whether S-nitrosylation of COX-2 alters enzyme activity SNP: NO donor ASC: Reduce Cys-S-NO Dose-dependent 2X increase NO-induced S-nitrosylation of COX-2 increases its catalytic activity
Q6. To ascertain the kinetic basis for NO activation of COX-2 Michaelis-Menten equation: ( KM: Vmax /2 ) Y= Kcat-control /kcat-viscogen Viscosity - + NO activates COX-2 by increasing Vmax & accelerates the release of product from COX-2.
Q7. To clarify the influence of NO on prostaglandin E2 in cells 50% inhibition LPS+ IFN-γ L-NAME: NOS inhibitor ( inhibit all NO) D-NAME: inactive isomer of L-NAME NO-induced synthesis of PGE2 is about 50% in cells.
Q8. To confirm iNOS & COX-2 interaction In Vivo 70% reduction Macrophages from iNOS knockout mice NO-induced synthesis of PGE2 is about 70% in vivo.
Myc Myc COX-2 ( 484-604 ) COX-2 ( 1-483) Q9. To explore the influence of of iNOS & COX-2 dissociation for new drug target Fusion protein or Transfection RAW 264.7 cells ( LPS+ IFN-γ) Immunoprecipitated with iNOS antibody Western blotting
Ans: The truncated form COX-2 attenuates iNOS binding to COX-2 & NO-mediated activation of PGE2 production
PGE2 & truncated form COX-2 were visualized with confocal microscopy
