NADPH diaphorase is used as a histochemical marker of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in aldehyde-treated tissues. It is thought that the catalytic activity of NOS promotes NADPH-dependent reduction of nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) to diformazan. However, it has been argued that a proteinaceous factor other than NOS is responsible for producing diformazan in aldehyde-treated tissues. We propose this is a NO-containing factor such as an S-nitrosothiol and/or a dinitrosyl-iron (II) cysteine complex or nitrosated proteins including NOS. We now report that (1) S-nitrosothiols covalently modify both NBT and TNBT, but only change the reduction potential of NBT after modification, (2) addition of S-nitrosothiols or β- or α-NADPH to solutions of NBT did not elicit diformazan, (3) addition of S-nitrosothiols to solutions of NBT plus β- or α-NADPH elicited rapid formation of diformazan in the absence or presence of paraformaldehyde, (4) addition of S-nitrosothiols to solutions of NBT plus β- or α-NADP did not produce diformazan, (5) S-nitrosothiols did not promote NADPH-dependent reduction of tetra-nitro-blue tetrazolium (TNBT) in which all four phenolic rings are nitrated, (6) cytoplasmic vesicles in vascular endothelial cells known to stain for NADPH diaphorase were rich in S-nitrosothiols, and (7) procedures that accelerate decomposition of S-nitrosothiols, markedly reduced NADPH diaphorase staining in tissue sections subsequently subjected to paraformaldehyde fixation. Our results suggest that NADPH diaphorase in aldehyde-fixed tissues is not enzymatic but is due to the presence of NO-containing factors (free SNOs or nitrosated proteins such as NOS), which promote NADPH-dependent reduction of NBT to diformazan.
