摘要
Abstract
<正>Objective:To investigate the production of nitric oxide(NO) and the expression of indurible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). and their possible role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods: A total of 28 patients with AAA
10 healthy controls
and 8 patients with arterial occlusive disease were enrolled into this study. Standard colorimetric assay was used to examine NO concentration in plasma from patients with AAA and normal controls
and in cultured smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Expression of iNOS in aortas and cultured SMCs were detected by immunochemistry. The correlation of iNOS expression with age of the patient
size of aneurysm
and degree of inflammation was also investigated by Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel X2 test and Kendall correlation. Results: Expression of iNOS increased significantly in the wall of aneurism in the patients with AAA compared to the healthy controls (P<0. 05) and the patients with occlusive arteries (P<0. 05). iNOS protein and media NOx (nitrite + nitrate) also increased in cultured SMCs from human AAA (n = 4
P<0. 05)
while plasma NOx decreased in patients with AAA (n = 25) compared to the healthy controls (n = 20). There was a positive correlation between iNOS protein and the degree of inflammation in aneurismal wall (Kendall coefficient = 0. 5032
P = 0. 0029). Conclusion: SMCs and inflammatory cells are main cellular sources of increased iNOS in AAA
and NO may play a part in pathogenesis in AAA through inflammation
SMCs and oxidative stress.
