—The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is a characteristic response to inflammation and can be inhibited with sodium salicylate. We used the cytokine-induced iNOS induction in cardiac fibroblasts as a model system in which to test the hypothesis that effects on mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) may explain the mechanism by which salicylate exerts its anti-inflammatory effects. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) alone can induce extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 MAPK, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase activity in a rapid and transient manner, whereas interferon-γ (IFN-γ) can induce only ERK. The inhibition of either the ERK pathway or p38 MAPK activity with selective inhibitors blocked cytokine-induced iNOS protein and nitrite production. Salicylate treatment inhibited iNOS expression induced by TNF-α and IFN-γ and attenuated the phosphorylation of ERK by TNF-α and IFN-γ either alone or in combination. Salicylate had no obvious effect on the activation of p38 MAPK or c-Jun N-terminal kinase. The results showed that salicylate inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK and iNOS expression induced by cytokines in a dose-dependent manner and suggested that salicylate exerts its anti-inflammatory action in part through inhibition of the ERK pathway and iNOS induction.
