项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) has a crucial role in regulation of the state of vasodilation of blood vessels and hence in regulation of blood pressure. Furthermore, because NO regulates this and a number of other important vascular processes, abnormalities in vascular NO production are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of certain vascular disorders such as those of atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension. NO is synthesized in endothelial cells by oxidation of L-arginine in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Recent investigations in several laboratories have established a role for Ser-1179 phosphorylation and Thr-497 dephosphorylation in agonist regulation of eNOS activity in endothelial cells. Data presented in the Preliminary Studies section of this proposal provide evidence for two additional sites of eNOS phosphorylation at Ser-617 and Ser-635. Our preliminary data shows that these two sites are transiently phosphorylated in cultured endothelial cells in response to stimulation with the eNOS-activating agonists bradykinin (BK), ATP, and vascular endothelial growth factor. The principal aim of the present proposal is to examine the hypothesis that eNOS activity in vascular endothelial cells is regulated in part by BK-stimulated phosphorylation of the enzyme at Ser-617 and Ser-635. Additional aims are to elucidate the molecular mechanism(s) by which phosphorylation at Ser-617 and Ser-635 alters enzyme catalytic activity and to test the hypothesis that phosphorylation at Ser-617 or Ser-635 alters eNOS protein-protein interactions with caveolin-1, the bradykinin B2 receptor, or heat shock protein 90. Finally, we will examine whether certain pathophysiological conditions, such as hyperglycemia or oxidative stress, alter either basal or BK-stimulated phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser-617 or Ser-635.

描述（由申请人提供）：内皮源性一氧化氮（NO）在调节血管舒张状态中起关键作用，因此在调节血压中起关键作用。此外，由于NO调节这一过程和许多其他重要的血管过程，血管NO产生的异常被认为有助于某些血管疾病如动脉粥样硬化、糖尿病和高血压的发病机制。NO在内皮细胞中通过L-精氨酸在内皮型一氧化氮合酶（eNOS）催化的反应中的氧化而合成。最近在几个实验室的研究已经建立了一个作用，丝氨酸-1179磷酸化和苏氨酸-497去磷酸化的激动剂调节内皮细胞中的eNOS活性。本提案的初步研究部分提供的数据为在Ser-617和Ser-635处的eNOS磷酸化的两个额外位点提供了证据。我们的初步数据表明，这两个网站是短暂的磷酸化培养的内皮细胞在响应刺激与eNOS激活激动剂缓激肽（BK），ATP，血管内皮生长因子。本建议的主要目的是检查的假设，即eNOS活性在血管内皮细胞中调节部分由BK刺激的磷酸化酶在Ser-617和Ser-635。其他目的是阐明Ser-617和Ser-635磷酸化改变酶催化活性的分子机制，并验证Ser-617或Ser-635磷酸化改变eNOS与小窝蛋白-1、缓激肽B2受体或热休克蛋白90的蛋白-蛋白相互作用的假设。最后，我们将研究某些病理生理条件，如高血糖或氧化应激，是否改变基础或BK刺激的eNOS在Ser-617或Ser-635的磷酸化。
