Studies have demonstrated myriad roles for S-nitrosylation in organisms from bacteria to humans, and recent efforts have begun to elucidate how this redox-based modification is regulated during physiological and pathophysiological conditions. This doctoral thesis is focused on the 1) analysis of existing methodologies for the detection of protein S-nitrosylation; 2) development of new methodologies for the detection of protein S-nitrosylation and 3) discovery of novel enzymatic mechanisms by which S-nitrosylation is regulated in vivo.

Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Mark H. Schoenfisch Royce W. Murray James W. Jorgenson Bruce A. Cairns Robert Maile © 2014 Rebecca Anne Hunter ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT REBECCA ANNE HUNTER: Electrochemical Detection of Nitric Oxide from Biological Systems (Under the direction of Mark H. Schoenfisch) Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be involved in a number of physiological processes, including the immune response. As such, its role in severe infection and sepsis has been investigated, but previous measurement techniques have relied on complicated instrumentation or the quantification of NO byproducts (e.g., nitrate and nitrite). Herein, the fabrication of a microfluidic amperometric sensor for the direct detection of NO in whole blood is described. These sensors were used to evaluate the potential of NO and nitrosothiols (a stable transporter) as prognostic and/or diagnostic biomarkers for infection and sepsis. The microfluidic devices facilitated the selective electrochemical measurement of NO in small volumes of blood at the point-of-care, with adequate sensitivity and limits of detection achieved in buffer, wound fluid, and whole blood. A green (530 nm) light-emitting diode was coupled to the device to enable photolysis of S-nitrosothiol species with subsequent NO detection. While inefficient photolysis prevented the measurement of nitrosothiols in whole blood, detection in serum was achieved.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on germination, antioxidative system and lipid peroxidation of Senna macranthera seeds under saline stress. The osmotic potentials of -0.4 and -0.5 MPa of NaCl were used, as well as the concentration of 100 μM of sodium nitroprusside, inactive sodium nitroprusside. Germination rate, imbibition curves, antioxidant enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation, and protein content were evaluated. Similar effects were observed for sodium nitroprusside and inactive sodium nitroprusside, indicating that these effects were related to the release of the cyanide present in sodium nitroprusside. The sodium nitroprusside (SNP) improves the germination of Senna macranthera seeds under salt stress conditions, through release of cyanide. The cyanide favored germination, reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing the activity of the antioxidant enzymes. Index terms: antioxidant enzymes, NaCl, nitric oxide, salinity.

It is believed that overexpression of ABC efflux proteins (e.g., P-gp/ABCB1, BCRP/ABCG2 and MRP/ABCC1) on the tumor cell membrane is one of the main mechanisms for this clinical resistance. Our recent studies indicate that nitric oxide (NO), inhibits ATPase functions of ABC transporters, resulting in reversal of resistance to various anticancer drugs. In this study we have found that nitric oxide and/or active metabolite (s) generated from NCX4040, a nitric oxide donor, inhibited ABC transporter activities by inhibiting their ATPase functions, causing reversal of both adriamycin and topotecan resistance in human MDR tumor cells. We also found that nitric oxide and/or metabolites of NCX4040 significantly enhanced drug accumulations in MDR tumor cells.

Elbatreek1,3,9 ✉ , Martin Deile4, Pavel I. Nedvetsky5, Andreas Güldner6, César Ibarra-Alvarado7, Axel Gödecke8 & Harald H. H. W. Schmidt1 ✉ Nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic GMP (cGMP) signaling is a vasoprotective pathway therapeutically targeted, for example, in pulmonary hypertension. Its dysregulation in disease is incompletely understood. Here we show in pulmonary artery endothelial cells that feedback inhibition by NO of the NO receptor, the cGMP forming soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), may contribute to this. Both endogenous NO from endothelial NO synthase and exogenous NO from NO donor compounds decreased sGC protein and activity. This efect was not mediated by cGMP as the NO-independent sGC stimulator, or direct activation of cGMP- dependent protein kinase did not mimic it. Thiol-sensitive mechanisms were also not involved as the thiol-reducing agent N-acetyl-L-cysteine did not prevent this feedback. Instead, both in-vitro and in- vivo and in health and acute respiratory lung disease, chronically elevated NO led to the inactivation and degradation of sGC while leaving the heme-free isoform, apo-sGC, intact or even increasing its levels. Thus, NO regulates sGC in a bimodal manner, acutely stimulating and chronically inhibiting, as part of self-limiting direct feedback that is cGMP independent. In high NO disease conditions, this is aggravated but can be functionally recovered in a mechanism-based manner by apo-sGC activators that re-establish cGMP formation. Te nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling pathway plays several essential roles in physiology, including cardio- pulmonary homeostasis1,2.
