RESUMO

Localization of the nitric oxide (NO)-producing enzyme, nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and its functions are currently being investigated in several tissues and organs. It has been suggested that NO is involved in nerve cell death and the development of neurodegenerative disease. The purpose of this study was to immunohistochemically investigate expression of NOS to clarify its function in the degeneration and regeneration of transected mouse sciatic nerve. Scattered neuronal NOS (nNOS)-positive Schwann cells observed on the central side of the stump on day 1 after transection showed an increase in number on day 7. None were observed at the stump on day 14, however. Expression of nNOS was observed in axons extending from the stump. The number of nNOS-positive axons increased on day 21. Inducible NOS was expressed in inflammatory cells at the stump on day 1. This positive reaction subsequently weakened by day 7, however. Endothelial NOS was expressed in blood vessels at the stump on day 7, but decreased thereafter. The results of the present study suggest that NO is involved in the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells, as well as in axon regeneration at an early stage following nerve transection.

RESUMO

Type I diabetes, an autoimmune disease, induces insulin deficiency, which then disrupts vascular endothelial cell function, affecting blood and lymphatic vessels. Nitric oxide (NO) is an immune-induced destructive mediator in type I diabetes, and inhibition of its production promotes arteriosclerosis. In this study, lymphangiogenesis and expression of NO synthase (NOS) during the healing process after tooth extraction were investigated immunohistochemically in control (C57BL) and Akita mice as a diabetes model. Between 1, 4, and 10 days after extraction, expression of NOS, vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3), and von Willebrand factor was strongest during the granulation tissue phase. This suggests that severe inflammation triggers regulation of NOS and these other angiogenic and lymphangiogenic factors. During the callus phase, a few days after extraction, induced osteoblasts were positive for VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 in both the control and Akita mice, suggesting that bone formation is active in this period. Bone formation in the Akita group exceeded that in the controls. Bone tissue formation was disrupted under hyperglycemic conditions, however, suggesting that such activity would be insufficient to produce new bone.
