How does Olprinone (OLP) influence inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production in the liver?
Label:chem
Topic
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) are key players in liver injury, contributing to inflammation and oxidative stress.
Answer
Olprinone (OLP) inhibited the induction of iNOS mRNA and reduced NO production in the liver of rats treated with partial hepatectomy and LPS. This effect was mediated through the suppression of NF-κB activation, a key signaling pathway involved in iNOS induction. OLP also reduced iNOS protein expression and NO production in primary cultured rat hepatocytes stimulated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β).
