Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) donors have been shown to stimulate and inhibit the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of endothelial cells in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo. Recently, we have shown distinct thresholds for NO to regulate p53-Ser-15P, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK), and hypoxia inducible factor 1α in tumor cells. Because these signaling pathways also promote the growth and survival of endothelial cells, we examined their roles in angiogenic responses of venous endothelial cells and vascular outgrowth of muscle explants elicited by NO. An additional protein involved in the regulation of angiogenesis is thrombospondin-1 (TSP1), a matricellular glycoprotein known to influence adhesion, migration, and proliferation of endothelial cells. Here we demonstrate a triphasic regulation of TSP1 mediated by a slow and prolonged release of NO that depends on ERK phosphorylation. Under conditions of 5% serum, a 24-h exposure of NO donor (0.1–1,000 μM) mediated a triphasic response in the expression of TSP1 protein: decreasing at 0.1 μM, rebounding at 100 μM, and decreasing again at 1,000 μM. Under the same conditions, we observed a dose-dependent increase in P53 phosphorylation and inverse biphasic responses of pERK and mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1. Both the growth-stimulating activity of low-dose NO for endothelial cells and suppression of TSP1 expression were ERK-dependent. Conversely, exogenous TSP1 suppressed NO-mediated pERK. These results suggest that dose-dependent positive- and negative-feedback loops exist between NO and TSP1. Limiting TSP1 expression by positive feedback through the ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway may facilitate switching to a proangiogenic state at low doses of NO.

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.
