Abstract

Changes in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression could be involved in the endothelium-dependent vasorelaxing dysfunction associated with cardiovascular diseases. We have recently demonstrated the existence of endothelial cytosolic proteins that bind to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of eNOS mRNA and could be involved in eNOS mRNA stabilization. In the present work, we have characterized the cytosolic proteins that bind to 3'-UTR eNOS mRNA. An endothelial cytosolic protein (MW 60-kD) specifically bound to 3'-UTR eNOS mRNA as determined by a cross-linking assay followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The endothelial cytosolic protein recognized a cytidine (C)-rich region within 3'-UTR eNOS mRNA. Furthermore, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) increased the level of the 60-kD endothelial cytosolic protein. In addition, TNF-alpha reduced eNOS mRNA levels and this was prevented by coincubation with cycloheximide. Cycloheximide also prevented the binding activity of the endothelial cytosolic protein to 3'-UTR eNOS mRNA. In summary, these data suggest that a 60-kD endothelial cytosolic protein binds to 3'-UTR eNOS mRNA. TNF-alpha increased the 60-kD protein levels. Cycloheximide prevented the binding activity of the cytosolic protein to 3'-UTR eNOS mRNA related to TNF-alpha; this effect was associated with greater eNOS mRNA levels. Further specific studies are needed to determine the involvement of this 60-kD endothelial cytosolic protein in the regulation of eNOS mRNA stabilization and in the endothelial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular diseases.

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.
