    Abstract Nitric oxide is produced at low micromolar levels following the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and is responsible for mediating the inhibitory actions of cytokines on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by islets of Langerhans. It is through the inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, specifically aconitase and complex 4 of the electron transport chain, that nitric oxide inhibits insulin secretion. Nitric oxide also attenuates protein synthesis, induces DNA damage, activates DNA repair pathways, and stimulates stress responses (unfolded protein and heat shock) in β-cells. In this report, the time- and concentration-dependent effects of nitric oxide on the expression of 6 genes known to participate in the response of β-cells to this free radical were examined. The genes included

    Abstract Microparticles or microvesicles (MPs/MVs) are sub-cellular vesicles with a growing number of known biological functions. Microvesicles from a variety of parent cells within the vascular system increase in numerous pathological states. Red blood cell-derived MVs (RMVs) are relatively less studied than other types of circulating MVs despite red blood cells (RBCs) being the most abundant intravascular cell. This may be in part due the echoes of past misconceptions that RBCs were merely floating anucleate bags of hemoglobin rather than dynamic and responsive cells. The initial aim of this study was to maximize the concentration of RMVs derived from various blood or blood products by focusing on the optimal isolation conditions without creating more MVs from artificial manipulation. We found that allowing RBCs to sediment overnight resulted in a continuum in size of RBC membrane-containing fragments or vesicles extending beyond the 1 µm size limit suggested by many as the maximal size of an MV. Additionally, dilution and centrifugation factors were studied that altered the resultant MV population concentration. The heterogeneous size of RMVs was confirmed in mice models of hemolytic anemia. This methodological finding establishes a new paradigm in that it blurs the line between RBC, fragment, and RMV as well as suggests that the concentration of circulating RMVs may be widely underestimated given that centrifugation removes the majority of such RBC-derived membrane-containing particles.

    Abstract Murine sickle cell disease (SCD) results in damage to multiple organs, likely mediated first by vasculopathy. While the mechanisms inducing vascular damage remain to be determined, nitric oxide bioavailability and sterile inflammation are both considered to play major roles in vasculopathy. Here, we investigate the effects of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), a pro-inflammatory damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule on endothelial-dependent vasodilation and lung morphometrics, a structural index of damage in sickle (SS) mice. SS mice were treated with either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), hE-HMGB1-BP, an hE dual-domain peptide that binds and removes HMGB1 from the circulation via the liver, 1-[4-(aminocarbonyl)-2-methylphenyl]-5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-propanoic acid (N6022) or N-acetyl-lysyltyrosylcysteine amide (KYC) for three weeks. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with recombinant HMGB1 (r-HMGB1), which increases S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) expression by ∼80%, demonstrating a direct effect of HMGB1 to increase GSNOR. Treatment of SS mice with hE-HMGB1-BP reduced plasma HMGB1 in SS mice to control levels and reduced GSNOR expression in facialis arteries isolated from SS mice by ∼20%. These changes were associated with improved endothelial-dependent vasodilation. Treatment of SS mice with N6022 also improved vasodilation in SS mice suggesting that targeting GSNOR also improves vasodilation. SCD decreased protein nitrosothiols (SNOs) and radial alveolar counts (RAC) and increased GSNOR expression and mean linear intercepts (MLI) in lungs from SS mice. The marked changes in pulmonary morphometrics and GSNOR expression throughout the lung parenchyma in SS mice were improved by treating with either hE-HMGB1-BP or KYC. These data demonstrate that murine SCD induces vasculopathy and chronic lung disease by an HMGB1- and GSNOR-dependent mechanism and suggest that HMGB1 and GSNOR might be effective therapeutic targets for reducing vasculopathy and chronic lung disease in humans with SCD.

    Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has been used in a number of ways to study nitric oxide chemistry and biology. As an intrinsically stable and relatively unreactive diatomic free radical, the challenges of detecting this species by EPR are somewhat different from those of transient radical species. This review gives a basic introduction to EPR spectroscopy and discusses its uses to assess and quantify nitric oxide formation in biological systems.

    Abstract Introduction: This review discussed the current state of undergraduate surgical education in UK medical schools with focus on changes over the previous decade (2011–2021). An analysis of theatre etiquette and basic surgical skills (BSS) courses from the University of Dundee undergraduate curriculum was also undertaken, with comparison to the literature. Materials and methods: A PubMed search using the quire “(undergraduate) AND (medicine) AND (Surgical) AND (teaching) AND (UK)” returned 155 publications. These were screened for relevance to yield the 100 publications discussed in this review. Analysis of student feedback (2016 – 2019) was carried out for BSS and theatre etiquette courses. Results: There exists a lack of consensus around the undergraduate curricula with extreme variation in teaching and clinical exposure by speciality and medical school. These are aided by the widespread adoption of simulation-based learning and non-technical skills teaching. Most teaching is conducted in transitional programmes to prepare students for surgical attachments with skills teaching focused on fourth- and fifth-year students. Scrubbing, gowning, gloving, and suturing are all often taught briefly and inconsistently with little follow up.A wide variety of novel techniques including near peer assisted, targeted basic surgical skills (BSS) courses and student opportunities, including mentorship and conferences have been found to be effective but are often limited to a single institution. Conclusions: Consensus amongst the existing literature highlights an urgent need for reform of surgical education to ensure patient safety and graduate competency. The University of Dundee runs a theatre etiquette and BSS courses which produces results which indicate a high degree in confidence subjective outcomes. There is a wealth of subjective and non-specific data with infrequent objective comparison between modern teaching modalities. The deficiency of undergraduate surgical teaching presents an opportunity to re-establish curricula ...

    Abstract Nitric oxide is a versatile and critical effector molecule that can modulate many cellular functions. Although recognized as a regulator of infections, the inhibitory mechanism of nitric oxide against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication remains elusive. We demonstrate that nitric oxide attenuates viral replication by interfering with HCMV-mediated modulation of several cellular processes. Nitric oxide exposure reduced HCMV genome synthesis and infectious viral progeny with cell-type-dependent differences observed. Mitochondrial respiration was severely reduced in both uninfected and HCMV-infected cells during exposure with little impact on ATP levels indicating changes in cellular metabolism. Metabolomics identified significantly altered small molecules in multiple pathways during nitric oxide exposure including nucleotide biosynthesis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and glutamine metabolism. Glutathione metabolites were increased coinciding with a reduction in the glutathione precursor glutamine. This shift was accompanied by increased antioxidant enzymes. Glutamine deprivation mimicked defects in HCMV replication and mitochondrial respiration observed during nitric oxide exposure. These data suggest that nitric oxide limits glutaminolysis by shuttling glutamine to glutathione synthesis. In addition, lipid intermediates were severely altered, which likely contributes to the observed increase in defective viral particles. Nitric oxide disrupts multiple cellular processes, and we had limited success in rescuing replication defects by supplementing with metabolic intermediates. Our studies indicate that nitric oxide attenuation of HCMV is multifactorial with interference in viral manipulation of cellular metabolism playing a central role.
