Role of endogenous nitric oxide in the nitric oxide donor-induced plasma extravasation of mouse skin.
The role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) and prostanoids in the increase in microvascular permeability induced by NO donors was investigated in the mouse skin by a dye leakage method. Subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of 1-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-(3-aminopropyl)-3-isopropyl-1-triazene (NOC 5), 1-hydroxy-2-oxo-3,3-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1-triazene (NOC 18) and sodium nitroprusside dose-dependently increased local dye leakage. While indomethacin inhibited the dye leakage elicited by these NO donors, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) inhibited the effect of NOC 5 and NOC 18 but not of sodium nitroprusside. These results suggest that endogenous NO, in addition to the prostanoid biosynthesis, is involved in the dermal microvascular permeability increase induced by the NOC series NO donors.
