  3. Elevated cytosolic Ca2+ activates nitric oxide synthase (NOS) leading to cGMP. • NO synthase uses arginine as a substrate to make the products NO and citrulline. • Soluble guanylyl cyclase uses GTP as a substrate to make the product cGMP.

  4. CYCLIC GMP PRODUCTIONCalcium channel Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-A,B PLASMA MEMBRANE ATP dependent kinase Ca2+ Membrane bound Guanylate Cyclase NO synthase NO Soluble Guanylate Cyclase-α,β cGMP cGMP is degraded by phosphodiesterase 5 CYTOSOL

  7. In soluble guanylate cyclase, the Fe is nitrosylated by NO. This increases enzymatic catalysis 400-fold NO Fe + NO Fe sGC has 3 domains HemeDimer-Catalytic bindingization Domain domaindomain

  8. Elevated cGMP has 4 protein targets • cGMP dependent protein kinase (PKGI) a 76 kDa serine/threonine kinase which ultimately leads to vasodilation • PKGII which phosphorylates the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator • Cyclic nucleotide gated channel which translate visual signals to nerve impulses • Phosphodiesterases (PDE). Viagra selectively inhibits PDE 5

  9. The NO delivery agent SPER/NO increases cGMP and ERK activation. • SPER/NO increases cGMP 30 min. after addition to cells. • Increased P44/P42 MAPK (ERK) tyrosine phosphorylation is observed after 30 min. • Thomas et al., PNAS 101:8894 (2004).

  10. SUMMARY Low NO cGMP ERK tyrosine phosphorylation Proliferation

  11. High NO causes apoptosis of cancer cells. • NO can induce stress proteins, disrupt mitochondria, release cytochrome c and activate caspases.

  12. SPER/NO causes phosphorylation of p53. • The phosphorylated p53 results in less G1 to S transitions in the cell cycle, leading to increased apoptosis.

  13. NO and apoptosis. • The NO donars S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) cause apoptosis of lung cancer cells.

  19. SNP causes phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. • P38 MAPK is a mediator of NO induced caspase-3 associated apoptosis. • The p38 MAPK inhibitor SB202190 protects cells from NO-mediated cell death.

  20. SNP and SNAP decrease survivin and Bcl-2 levels. • Survivin is critical for cell cycle progression. • Bcl-2 is critical for cellular survival.

  24. NO autoxidation results in protein nitrosylation.NO reacts with O2 and targets nucleophile

  25. Hydrophobic catalysis of NO autoxidation. NO reacts with O2 generating NO2 which reacts with NO to form N2O3. Membrane protein Cys amino acids undergo nitrosation. membrane protein

  26. Numerous cellular proteins are nitrosylated. • Ras, the p21 monomeric GTPase is nitrosylated at Cys118 resulting in activation of MAPK and PI3-K. • Denitrosylation of caspase-3 is essential for apoptosis.

  27. Low concentrations of H2O2 transiently stimulate increases in cytosolic free [Ca2+](B) and NOS activity (A) Barrett, D. M. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 280:14453-14461, 2005

  28. How do cells sense and transduce a cytoplasmic oxidative event?NO synthase activation leads to NO which forms metal nitrosyl complexes in cytochrome C oxidase and guanylate cyclase; Cys nitrosylation in PTP, caspase, Zn proteins and ATM; and RNS causing tyrosine nitration in NF-kB, Bcl, pte and Keap1/Nrf2.

  29. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases can be oxidized.
