PURPOSE: Peroxynitrite plays a critical role in vascular pathophysiology by
increasing arginase activity and decreasing endothelial nitric oxide synthase
(eNOS) activity. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate whether
arginase inhibition and L-arginine supplement could restore peroxynitrite-induced
endothelial dysfunction and determine the involved mechanism. MATERIALS AND
METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with SIN-1,
a peroxynitrite generator, and arginase activity, nitrite/nitrate production, and
expression levels of proteins were measured. eNOS activation was evaluated via
Western blot and dimer blot analysis. We also tested nitric oxide (NO) and
reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and performed a vascular tension assay.
RESULTS: SIN-1 treatment increased arginase activity in a time- and
dose-dependent manner and reciprocally decreased nitrite/nitrate production that
was prevented by peroxynitrite scavenger in HUVECs. Furthermore, SIN-1 induced an
increase in the expression level of arginase I and II, though not in eNOS
protein. The decreased eNOS phosphorylation at Ser1177 and the increased at
Thr495 by SIN-1 were restored with arginase inhibitor and L-arginine. The changed
eNOS phosphorylation was consistent in the stability of eNOS dimers. SIN-1
decreased NO production and increased ROS generation in the aortic endothelium,
all of which was reversed by arginase inhibitor or L-arginine.
N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) prevented SIN-1-induced ROS
generation. In the vascular tension assay, SIN-1 enhanced vasoconstrictor
responses to U46619 and attenuated vasorelaxant responses to acetylcholine that
were reversed by arginase inhibition. CONCLUSION: These findings may explain the
beneficial effect of arginase inhibition and L-arginine supplement on endothelial
dysfunction under redox imbalance-dependent pathophysiological conditions.
