PURPOSEThe vascular mediator, nitric oxide regulates vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and can react with superoxide to form peroxynitrite, a highly reactive free radical. The intracellular mechanisms by which nitric oxide and peroxynitrite inhibit smooth muscle cell growth remain undefined, as is the potential role of peroxynitrite formation in the antiproliferative effects of nitric oxide. We sought to define the intracellular effects and signaling mechanisms of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite in smooth muscle cells.METHODSCultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells were treated with exogenous nitric oxide or peroxynitrite and inhibitors of nitric oxide and redox signaling pathways. Cell growth, DNA synthesis, apoptosis, cyclic guanosine 3′-5′ monophosphate (cGMP) levels, poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity, and cytotoxicity were assayed. Peroxynitrite formation was determined by nitrotyrosine immunoblotting. Vasoreactivity was assessed in isolated rat aortic rings after treatment with nitric oxide/peroxynitrite and redox agents.RESULTSBoth exogenous nitric oxide and peroxynitrite decreased cell growth and DNA synthesis of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells, but peroxynitrite-induced growth arrest was irreversible and associated with apoptosis and cytotoxicity. Inhibition of guanylate cyclase, PARP activity, mitogen-activated protein kinase, or bypass of ornithine decarboxylase did not reverse growth arrest by nitric oxide. The antioxidants N-acetylcysteine, ascorbate, and glutathione selectively reversed growth inhibition by nitric oxide but not by peroxynitrite. Antioxidants did not impair nitric oxide–induced cGMP generation in smooth muscle cells or nitric oxide–induced vasodilatation of isolated aortic rings. Nitric oxide treatment did not result in peroxynitrite formation and augmentation of superoxide levels did not induce peroxynitrite-like effects. Peroxynitrite-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis were not reversed by antioxidants or PARP inhibition, because peroxynitrite activated PARP in J774 macrophages but failed to activate PARP in smooth muscle cells.CONCLUSIONSExogenous nitric oxide induces reversible cytostasis in smooth muscle cells by a redox-sensitive mechanism independent of peroxynitrite formation and distinct from the nitric oxide vasodilating mechanism. Peroxynitrite does not activate PARP selectively in smooth muscle cells and induces redox-independent smooth muscle cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Thus, the antiproliferative effects of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite on smooth muscle cells use divergent intracellular pathways with distinct redox sensitivities. These findings are relevant to the pathogenesis of vascular disease and the potential application of nitric oxide–based therapy for vascular disease.
