Nitric oxide and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression are downregulated in acute cholestasis in the rat accompanied by liver ischemia
Hepatic blood flow decreases under cholestasis and there is evidence that NO regulates liver microvascular perfusion. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate NO synthesis in cholestasis. Cholestasis was induced by bile-duct ligation (BDL) in male Wistar rats. Bilirubins and enzyme activities were measured in serum. Lipid peroxidation, GSH, GSSG and glycogen were determined in liver. Histopathological analysis was performed. Serum NO2−+NO3− concentration was measured by the Gries reaction. iNOS immunoblot analysis was carried out using an iNOS polyclonal antibody. After 7 days of BDL lipid peroxidation increased while GSH/GSSG ratio decreased. Serum NO2−+NO3− and liver iNOS protein were reduced, accompanied by ischemia as revealed by the histopathological analysis. GSH upregulates NO synthesis by increasing iNOS mRNA levels and iNOS activity, thus the reduction of GSH/GSSG ratio may be responsible for the downregulation of iNOS protein and NO synthesis, which in turn may explain the observed ischemia and the decreased hepatic blood perfusion in cholestasis reported by others.
