    Abstract Nitric oxide ((•)NO, nitrogen monoxide) is one of the most unique biological signaling molecules associated with a multitude of physiologic and pathological conditions. In order to fully appreciate its numerous roles, it is essential to understand its basic biochemical properties. Most signaling effector molecules such as steroids or proteins have a significant life-span and function through classical receptor-ligand interactions. (•)NO, however, is a short-lived free-radical gas that only reacts with two types of molecules under biological conditions; metals and other free radicals. These simple interactions can lead to a myriad of complex intermediates which in turn have their own phenotypic effects. For these reasons, responses to (•)NO often appear to be random or contradictory when outcomes are compared across various experimental settings. This article will serve as a brief overview of the chemical, biological, and microenvironmental factors that dictate (•)NO signaling with an emphasis on (•)NO metabolism. The prominent role that oxygen (dioxygen, O2) plays in (•)NO metabolism and how it influences the biological effects of (•)NO will be highlighted. This information and these concepts are intended to help students and investigators think about the interpretation of data from experiments where biological effects of (•)NO are being elucidated.

    Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) and the enzyme that synthesizes it, nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), have emerged as key players in inflammation and cancer. Expression of NOS2 in tumors has been correlated both with positive outcomes and with poor prognoses. The chemistry of NO is the major determinate to the biological outcome and the concentration of NO, which can range over five orders of magnitude, is critical in determining which pathways are activated. It is the activation of specific oncogenic and immunological mechanisms that shape the outcome. The kinetics of specific reactions determine the mechanisms of action. In this review, the relevant reactions of NO and related species are discussed with respect to these oncogenic and immunological signals.

    Abstract Although the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) was initially shown to be a major player as an antitumor component of the immune response, more recent data have shown that NOS2 expression in cancer cells often predicts poor outcome. Unlike growth factors associated with a single oncogenic pathway, nitric oxide (NO) has a ubiquitous nature wherein it simultaneously mediates major oncogenic pathways from Akt/PI3K and RAS/ERK to HIF1a and TGFb. These interactive loops perpetuate oncogenic mechanism that leads to increased cancer stemness, proliferation metastasis, chemoresistance, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression. Examination of a wide variety of patient tumors demonstrates that NOS2 expression is >50% for most cancers. In many cases, elevated NOS2 has been shown to predict poor outcome in cancer such as ER- breast cancer, glioma, melanoma, cervical, liver, ovarian, and pancreatic. Taken together, NOS2 may be one of the most powerful biomarker and predictors of poor prognosis and an ideal target for cancer therapy. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 26, 963-965.

    Abstract Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) that produce nitric oxide (NO) are more aggressive, and the expression of the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) is a negative prognostic indicator. In these studies, we set out to investigate potential therapeutic strategies to counter the tumor-permissive properties of NO. We found that exposure to NO increased proliferation of TNBC cells and that treatment with the histone deacetylase inhibitor Vorinostat (SAHA) prevented this proliferation. When histone acetylation was measured in response to NO and/or SAHA, NO significantly decreased acetylation on histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9ac) and SAHA increased H3K9ac. If NO and SAHA were sequentially administered to cells (in either order), an increase in acetylation was observed in all cases. Mechanistic studies suggest that the "deacetylase" activity of NO does not involve

    Abstract The chelatable iron pool (CIP) is a small but chemically significant fraction of total cellular iron. While this dynamic population of iron is limited, it is redox active and capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can lead to oxidative stress which is associated with various pathologies. Nitric oxide (•NO), is a free radical signalling molecule that regulates numerous physiological and pathological conditions. We have previously shown that macrophages exposed to endogenously generated or exogenously administered nitric oxide (•NO) results in its interaction with CIP to form dinitrosyliron complexes with thiol containing ligands (DNICs). In this study we assessed the consequences of DNIC formation in cancer cells as •NO is known to be associated with numerous malignancies. Incubation of cancer cells with •NO led to a time and dose dependent increase in formation of DNICs. The formation of DNICs results in the sequestration of the CIP which is a major source of iron for redox reactions and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Therefore, we set out to test the antioxidant effect of •NO by measuring the ability of DNICs to protect cells against oxidative stress. We observed that cancer cells treated with •NO were partially protected against H

    Abstract Among its many roles in cellular biology, nitric oxide (·NO) has long been associated with cancers both as a protumorigenic and as an antitumorigenic agent. The dual nature of this signaling molecule in varied settings is attributable to its temporal and concentration-dependent effects that produce different phenotypes. The steady-state ·NO concentration within the cell is a balance between its rate of enzymatic synthesis from the three nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms and consumption via numerous metabolic pathways and demonstrates strong dependence on the tissue oxygen concentration. NOS expression and ·NO production are often deregulated and associated with numerous types of cancers with dissimilar prognostic outcomes. ·NO influences several facets of tumor initiation and progression including DNA damage, chronic inflammation, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, to name a few. The role of ·NO as an epigenetic modulator has also recently emerged and has potentially important mechanistic implications in regulating transcription of oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. ·NO-derived cellular adducts such as dinitrosyliron complexes and the formation of higher nitrogen oxides further alter its cellular behavior. Among anticancer strategies, the use of NOS as a prognostic biomarker and modulation of ·NO production for therapeutic benefit have gained importance over the past decade. Numerous ·NO-releasing drugs and NOS inhibitors have been evaluated in preclinical and clinical settings to arrest tumor growth. Taken together, ·NO affects various arms of cancer signaling networks. An overview of this complex interplay is provided in this chapter.

    Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule with multiple regulatory functions in physiology and disease. The most studied molecular mechanisms underlying the biological functions of NO include its reaction with heme proteins and regulation of protein activity via modification of thiol residues. A significant number of transcriptional responses and phenotypes observed in NO microenvironments, however, still lack mechanistic understanding. Recent studies shed new light on NO signaling by revealing its influence on epigenetic changes within the cell. Epigenetic alterations are important determinants of transcriptional responses and cell phenotypes, which can relay heritable information during cell division. As transcription across the genome is highly sensitive to these upstream epigenetic changes, this mode of NO signaling provides an alternate explanation for NO-mediated gene expression changes and phenotypes. This review will provide an overview of the interplay between NO and epigenetics as well as emphasize the unprecedented importance of these pathways to explain phenotypic effects associated with biological NO synthesis.
