Ceruloplasmin is a NO oxidase and nitrite synthase that determines endocrine NO homeostasis
Abstract
Nitrite represents a bioactive reservoir of nitric oxide (NO) that may modulate vasodilation, respiration and cytoprotection after ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although nitrite formation is thought to occur via reaction of NO with oxygen, this third-order reaction cannot compete kinetically with the reaction of NO with hemoglobin to form nitrate. Indeed, the formation of nitrite from NO in the blood is limited when plasma is substituted with physiological buffers, which suggests that plasma contains metal-based enzymatic pathways for nitrite synthesis. We therefore hypothesized that the multicopper oxidase, ceruloplasmin, could oxidize NO to NO+, with subsequent hydration to nitrite. Accordingly, plasma NO oxidase activity was decreased after ceruloplasmin immunodepletion, in ceruloplasmin knockout mice and in people with congenital aceruloplasminemia. Compared to controls, plasma nitrite concentrations were substantially reduced in ceruloplasmin knockout mice, which were more susceptible to liver infarction after ischemia and reperfusion. The extent of hepatocellular infarction normalized after nitrite repletion. These data suggest new functions for the multicopper oxidases in endocrine NO homeostasis and nitrite synthesis, and they support the hypothesis that physiological concentrations of nitrite contribute to hypoxic signaling and cytoprotection.

In the citing paper
“The nitrite level in cardiac tissue is a couple of times higher than that in plasma due to an unknown form of active transport from blood to tissues or due to the oxidation of endogenously generated-NO to nitrite by ceruloplasmin [96], and serves as a significant extravascular pool for NO during tissue hypoxia [97].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
