Abstract
Vascular complications caused by diabetes impair the activities of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), resulting in decreased physiological levels of nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The low bioavailability of NO and H2S hinders the endothelialization of vascular grafts. In this study, endothelium-mimicking bilayer vascular grafts were designed with spatiotemporally controlled dual releases of NO and H2S for in situ endothelialization and angiogenesis. Keratin-based H2S donor was synthesized and electrospun with poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) as the outer layer of the graft to release H2S. Hyaluronic acid, one of the major glycosaminoglycans in endothelial glycocalyx, was complexed with Cu ions as the inner layer to mimic glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and maintain long-term physiological NO flux. The synergistic effects of NO and H2S of bilayer grafts selectively promoted the regeneration and migration of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), while inhibiting the overproliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs). Bilayer grafts could effectively prevent vascular calcification, reduce inflammation, and alleviate endothelial dysfunction. The in vivo study in a rat abdominal aorta replacement model for 1 month showed that the graft had a good patency rate and had potential for vascular remodeling in situ.

Abstract
In an attempt to address the significant morbidity, mortality, and economic cost associated with tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) dysfunction, we report the development of nitric oxide-releasing dialysis catheter lock solutions. Catheter lock solutions with a range of NO payloads and release kinetics were prepared using low-molecular-weight N-diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donors. Nitric oxide released through the catheter surface as a dissolved gas was maintained at therapeutically relevant levels for at least 72 h, supporting clinical translatability (interdialytic period). Slow, sustained NO release from the catheter surface prevented bacterial adhesion in vitro by 88.9 and 99.7% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis, respectively, outperforming a burst NO-release profile. Furthermore, bacteria adhered to the catheter surface in vitro prior to lock solution use was reduced by 98.7 and 99.2% for P. aeruginosa and S. epidermidis, respectively, when using a slow releasing NO donor, demonstrating both preventative and treatment potential. The adhesion of proteins to the catheter surface, a process often preceding biofilm formation and thrombosis, was also lessened by 60-65% by sustained NO release. In vitro cytotoxicity of catheter extract solutions to mammalian cells was minimal, supporting the non-toxic nature of the NO-releasing lock solutions. The use of the NO-releasing lock solution in an in vivo TDC porcine model demonstrated decreased infection and thrombosis, enhanced catheter functionality, and improved outcome (i.e., likelihood of survival) as a result of catheter use.

Abstract
Protein S-nitros(yl)ation (SNO) is a posttranslational modification involved in diverse processes in health and disease and can contribute to synaptic damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). To identify SNO proteins in AD brains, we used triaryl phosphine (SNOTRAP) combined with mass spectrometry (MS). We detected 1449 SNO proteins with 2809 SNO sites, representing a wide range of S-nitrosylated proteins in 40 postmortem AD and non-AD human brains from patients of both sexes. Integrative protein ranking revealed the top 10 increased SNO proteins, including complement component 3 (C3), p62 (SQSTM1), and phospholipase D3. Increased levels of S-nitrosylated C3 were present in female over male AD brains. Mechanistically, we show that formation of SNO-C3 is dependent on falling β-estradiol levels, leading to increased synaptic phagocytosis and thus synapse loss and consequent cognitive decline. Collectively, we demonstrate robust alterations in the S-nitrosoproteome that contribute to AD pathogenesis in a sex-dependent manner.

Abstract
The imaging of nitric oxide (NO) and its donors is crucial to explore NO-related physiological and pathological processes. In this work, we demonstrate the use of Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) as nanoprobes for NO detection and as a catalyst for the generation of NO from the biologically occurring substrate, S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs). The paramagnetic Cu2+ in the MOFs could quench the luminescence of triphenylamine; Cu-MOFs only exhibited weak emission at 450 nm. Upon the addition of NO, the paramagnetic Cu2+ was reduced to diamagnetic Cu+, and thus the luminescence was recovered directly. Cu-MOFs exhibited high selectivity for other species in the reaction system, including NO2-, H2O2, AA, NO3- and 1O2. More significantly, the Cu+ can react with s-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), s-nitrosocysteine (CysNO), and s-nitrosocysteamine (CysamNO) to generate NO and then oxidize to Cu2+-MOFs with quenched luminescence, respectively, and thus the catalysis is inhibited, noted as a self-controlled process. The Cu-MOFs catalyst was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction to remain structurally intact in aqueous environments. The Cu-MOFs have been successfully employed in the biological imaging of NO in living cells. The bifunctional MOFs could offer a novel platform for the real-time monitoring of NO species, provide potential for exploiting NO in cancer therapy and improve the methodologies to elucidate the NO-related biological processes.

Abstract
S-Nitrosothiols act as a comparatively long-lived reservoir of releasable nitric oxide (NO) present in vivo in a variety of body fluids. Soluble constituents of air-borne particulate matter (PM) can affect S-nitrosothiol stability and deregulate NO-based biological signaling. PM aqueous extracts of standard urban dust (SRM 1648a) were prepared, and their effect on human serum S-nitrosoalbumin (HSA-NO) stability was studied. The results indicated that PM extracts induced a release of NO from HSA-NO in a dose-dependent manner. To identify the inorganic components of urban PM responsible for HSA-NO decomposition, the effects of individual metal ions and metal ion mixtures, detected in the SRM 1648a aqueous extract, were examined. The dominant role of copper ions (specifically Cu+) was confirmed, but the results did not exclude the influence of other water-soluble PM components. Measurements with the application of several common metal ion chelators confirmed that Cu2+ may participate in NO release from HSA-NO and that reduction to monovalent Cu+ (responsible for S-NO bond breaking) may occur with the participation of S-nitrosoalbumin. The addition of ascorbic acid (AscA) significantly enhanced the effectiveness of NO release by PM extracts both kinetically and quantitatively, by inducing an increase in the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+. These results indicate that AscA present in the respiratory tract lining fluids and plasma may amplify the activity of inorganic components of PM in S-nitrosothiol decomposition.

Abstract
About 20 years ago, the research group of Sheila Anne Bingham in Cambridge, UK, showed for the first time that volunteers consuming large amounts of red meat excrete high amounts of nitroso compounds via feces. In the meantime, it has been demonstrated that heme leads to the enhanced formation of nitroso compounds in the gastrointestinal tract and that the main nitroso compounds formed in the gastrointestinal tract are S-nitrosothiols and the nitrosyl heme. Moreover, it has been postulated that these endogenously formed nitroso compounds may alkylate guanine at the O6-position, resulting in the formation of the promutagenic DNA lesions O6-methylguanine and O6-carboxymethylguanine, which, if not repaired (in time), could lead to gene mutations and, subsequently to the development of colorectal cancer. Alternatively, it has been postulated that heme iron could contribute to colorectal carcinogenesis by inducing lipid peroxidation. In the present review, the evidence supporting the above-mentioned hypotheses will be presented.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) represents a potential wound therapeutic agent due to its ability to regulate inflammation and eradicate bacterial infections. Two broad strategies exist to utilize NO for wound healing; liberating NO from endogenous reservoirs, and supplementing NO from exogenous sources. This progress report examines the efficacy of a variety of NO-based methods to improve wound outcomes, with particular attention given to diabetes-associated chronic wounds.

Abstract
The development of extracorporeal devices for organ support has been a part of medical history and progression since the late 1900s. These types of technology are primarily used and developed in the field of critical care medicine. Unfractionated heparin, discovered in 1916, has really been the only consistent form of thromboprophylaxis for attenuating or even preventing the blood-biomaterial reaction that occurs when such technologies are initiated. The advent of regional anticoagulation for procedures such as continuous renal replacement therapy and plasmapheresis have certainly removed the risks of systemic heparinization and heparin effect, but the challenges of the blood-biomaterial reaction and downstream effects remain. In addition, regional anticoagulation cannot realistically be applied in a system such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation because of the high blood flow rates needed to support the patient. More recently, advances in the technology itself have resulted in smaller, more compact extracorporeal life support (ECLS) systems that can-at certain times and in certain patients-run without any form of anticoagulation. However, the majority of patients on ECLS systems require some type of systemic anticoagulation; therefore, the risks of bleeding and thrombosis persist, the most devastating of which is intracranial hemorrhage. We provide a concise overview of the primary and alternate agents and monitoring used for thromboprophylaxis during use of ECLS. In addition, we explore the potential for further biomaterial and technologic developments and what they could provide when applied in the clinical arena.

Abstract
Persistence, manifested as drug tolerance, represents a significant obstacle to global tuberculosis control. The bactericidal drugs isoniazid and rifampicin kill greater than 99% of exponentially growing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) cells, but the remaining cells are persisters, cells with decreased metabolic rate, refractory to killing by these drugs, and able to generate drug-resistant mutants. We discovered that the combination of cysteine or other small thiols with either isoniazid or rifampicin prevents the formation of drug-tolerant and drug-resistant cells in Mtb cultures. This effect was concentration- and time-dependent, relying on increased oxygen consumption that triggered enhanced production of reactive oxygen species. In infected murine macrophages, the addition of N-acetylcysteine to isoniazid treatment potentiated the killing of Mtb Furthermore, we demonstrate that the addition of small thiols to Mtb drug treatment shifted the menaquinol/menaquinone balance toward a reduced state that stimulates Mtb respiration and converts persister cells to metabolically active cells. This prevention of both persister cell formation and drug resistance leads ultimately to mycobacterial cell death. Strategies to enhance respiration and initiate oxidative damage should improve tuberculosis chemotherapies.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated promise in biomedical applications as vehicles for drug delivery, as well as for the ability of copper-based MOFs to generate nitric oxide (NO) from endogenous S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs). Because NO is a participant in biological processes where it exhibits anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiplatelet activation properties, it has received significant attention for therapeutic purposes. Previous work has shown that the water-stable MOF H3[(Cu4Cl)3-(BTTri)8] (H3BTTri = 1,3,5-tris(1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl)benzene), or CuBTTri, produces NO from RSNOs and can be included within a polymeric matrix to form NO-generating materials. While such materials demonstrate potential, the possibility of MOF degradation leading to copper-related toxicity is a concern that must be addressed prior to adapting these materials for biomedical applications. Herein, we present the first cytotoxicity evaluation of an NO-generating CuBTTri/polymer composite material using 3T3-J2 murine embryonic fibroblasts and primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). CuBTTri/polymer films were prepared from plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and characterized via PXRD, ATR-FTIR, and SEM-EDX. Additionally, the ability of the CuBTTri/polymer films to enhance NO generation from S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) was evaluated. Enhanced NO generation in the presence of the CuBTTri/polymer films was observed, with an average NO flux (0.90 ± 0.13 nmol cm(-2) min(-1)) within the range associated with antithrombogenic surfaces. The CuBTTri/polymer films were analyzed for stability in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and cell culture media under physiological conditions for a 4 week duration. Cumulative copper release in both cell media (0.84 ± 0.21%) and PBS (0.18 ± 0.01%) accounted for less than 1% of theoretical copper present in the films. In vitro cell studies performed with 3T3-J2 fibroblasts and PHHs did not indicate significant toxicity, providing further support for the potential implementation of CuBTTri-based materials in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Adduction of a nitric oxide moiety (NO•) to cysteine(s), termed S-nitrosylation (SNO), is a novel mechanism for NO to regulate protein function directly. However, the endothelial SNO-protein network that is affected by endogenous and exogenous NO is obscure. This study was designed to develop a quantitative proteomics approach using stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture for comparing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA)- and NO donor-responsive endothelial nitroso-proteomes. Primary placental endothelial cells were labeled with "light" (L-(12)C6 (14)N4-Arg and L-(12)C6 (14)N2-Lys) or "heavy" (L-(13)C6 (15)N4-Arg and L-(13)C6 (15)N2-Lys) amino acids. The light cells were treated with an NO donor nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, 1 mM) or VEGFA (10 ng/ml) for 30 min, while the heavy cells received vehicle as control. Equal amounts of cellular proteins from the light (GSNO or VEGFA treated) and heavy cells were mixed for labeling SNO-proteins by the biotin switch technique and then trypsin digested. Biotinylated SNO-peptides were purified for identifying SNO-proteins by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Ratios of light to heavy SNO-peptides were calculated for determining the changes of the VEGFA- and GSNO-responsive endothelial nitroso-proteomes. A total of 387 light/heavy pairs of SNO-peptides were identified, corresponding to 213 SNO-proteins that include 125 common and 27 VEGFA- and 61 GSNO-responsive SNO-proteins. The specific SNO-cysteine(s) in each SNO-protein were simultaneously identified. Pathway analysis revealed that SNO-proteins are involved in various endothelial functions, including proliferation, motility, metabolism, and protein synthesis. We collectively conclude that endogenous NO on VEGFA stimulation and exogenous NO from GSNO affect common and different SNO-protein networks, implicating SNO as a critical mechanism for VEGFA stimulation of angiogenesis.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a pathogen infecting one third of the world population, faces numerous challenges within the host, including high levels of copper. We have previously shown that M. tuberculosis CsoR is a copper inducible transcriptional regulator. Here we examined the hypothesis that csoR is necessary for maintaining copper homeostasis and surviving under various stress conditions. With an unmarked csoR knockout strain, we were able to characterize the role of csoR in M. tuberculosis as it faced copper and host stress. Growth under high levels of copper demonstrated that M. tuberculosis survives copper stress significantly better in the absence of csoR. Yet under minimal levels of copper, differential expression analysis revealed that the loss of csoR results in a cell wide hypoxia-type stress response with the induction of the DosR regulon. Despite the stress placed on M. tuberculosis by the loss of csoR, survival of the knockout strain was increased compared to wild type during the early chronic stages of mouse infection, suggesting that csoR could play an active role in modulating M. tuberculosis fitness within the host. Overall, analysis of CsoR provided an increased understanding of the M. tuberculosis copper response with implications for other intracellular pathogens harboring CsoR.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in the retina is triggered by light stimulation. NO has been shown to modulate visual signal processing at multiple sites in the vertebrate retina, via activation of the most sensitive target of NO signaling, soluble guanylate cyclase. NO can also alter protein structure and function and exert biological effects directly by binding to free thiol groups of cysteine residues in a chemical reaction called S-nitrosylation. However, in the central nervous system, including the retina, this reaction has not been considered to be significant under physiological conditions. Here we provide immunohistochemical evidence for extensive S-nitrosylation that takes place in the goldfish and mouse retinas under physiologically relevant light intensities, in an intensity-dependent manner, with a strikingly similar pattern in both species. Pretreatment with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), which occludes S-nitrosylation, or with 1-(2-trifluromethylphenyl)imidazole (TRIM), an inhibitor of neuronal NO synthase, eliminated the light-evoked increase in S-nitrosylated protein immunofluorescence (SNI) in the retinas of both species. Similarly, light did not increase SNI, above basal levels, in retinas of transgenic mice lacking neuronal NO synthase. Qualitative analysis of the light-adapted mouse retina with mass spectrometry revealed more than 300 proteins that were S-nitrosylated upon illumination, many of which are known to participate directly in retinal signal processing. Our data strongly suggest that in the retina light-evoked NO production leads to extensive S-nitrosylation and that this process is a significant posttranslational modification affecting a wide range of proteins under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Nitric oxide release profiles were characterised for commonly used donors. Released NO differs greatly between donors and depends on storage conditions. High release donors (NOC-5, PAPA NONOate) decay quickly. SNP and GSNO show greater stability releasing consistent lower NO levels. This comprehensive characterisation provides knowledge to define NO concentrations released in vitro.
Background Nitric oxide (NO) is a vital signalling molecule in a variety of tissues including the neuronal, vascular and reproductive system. However, its high diffusibility and inactivation make characterisation of nitrergic signalling difficult. The use of NO donors is essential to characterise downstream signalling pathways but knowledge of donor release capacities is lacking, thus making comparisons of donor responses difficult. New method This study characterises NO profiles of commonly used NO donors. Donors were stored under defined conditions and temporal release profiles detected to allow determination of released NO concentrations. Results Using NO-sensitive microsensors we assessed release profiles of NO donors following different storage times and conditions. We found that donors such as NOC-5 and PAPA-NONOate decayed substantially within days, whereas SNP and GSNO showed greater stability releasing consistent levels of NO over days. In all donors tested, the amount of released NO differs between frozen and unfrozen stocks. Comparison with existing method(s) Fluorescent and amperometric approaches to measure NO concentrations yield a wide range of levels. However, due to a lack of characterisation of the release profiles, inconsistent effects on NO signalling have been widely documented. Our systematic assessment of release profiles of a range of NO donors therefore provides new essential data allowing for improved and defined investigations of nitrergic signalling. Conclusions This is the first systematic comparison of temporal release profiles of different NO donors allowing researchers to compare conditions across different studies and the use of defined NO levels by choosing specific donors and concentrations.

Abstract
Cardiovascular implants must resist thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia, but they are prone to such patency limiting conditions during graft implantation and prior to endothelialisation. Nitric oxide (NO) released from the endothelium has a complex protective role in the cardiovascular system, and this study has addressed: (1) in situ NO release profiles from S-nitrosothiols ((S-Nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) and (S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)) incorporated into polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanepoly(carbonate-urea)urethane (POSS-PCU) coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) in a physiological pulsatile flow, and (2) the determination of their interaction with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), smooth muscle cells, platelets, whole blood kinetics. It was found that 1, 2, and 3 wt% SNAP/GSNO incorporated into POSS-PCU-CABG successfully eluted NO, but optimal elution was evident with 2 %-SNAP-POSS-PCU. NO release determined under static conditions using the Griess assay, and in situ measurements under pulsatile flow using amperometric probe was found to differ, thus confirming the significance of monitoring NO-elution under haemodynamic conditions. 2 %-SNAP-POSS-PCU demonstrated anti-thrombogenic kinetics through thromboelastography measurements, while metabolic activity using Alamar Blue™ assay and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated greater adhesion of EPCs and reduced adhesion of platelets.

Abstract
Physiological evidence indicates that the supraoptic nucleus (SON) is an
important region for integrating information related to homeostasis of body
fluids. Located bilaterally to the optic chiasm, this nucleus is composed of
magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) responsible for the synthesis and
release of vasopressin and oxytocin to the neurohypophysis. At the cellular
level, the control of vasopressin and oxytocin release is directly linked to the
firing frequency of MNCs. In general, we can say that the excitability of these
cells can be controlled via two distinct mechanisms: 1) the intrinsic membrane
properties of the MNCs themselves and 2) synaptic input from circumventricular
organs that contain osmosensitive neurons. It has also been demonstrated that
MNCs are sensitive to osmotic stimuli in the physiological range. Therefore, the
study of their intrinsic membrane properties became imperative to explain the
osmosensitivity of MNCs. In addition to this, the discovery that several
neurotransmitters and neuropeptides can modulate their electrical activity
greatly increased our knowledge about the role played by the MNCs in fluid
homeostasis. In particular, nitric oxide (NO) may be an important player in
fluid balance homeostasis, because it has been demonstrated that the enzyme
responsible for its production has an increased activity following a hypertonic
stimulation of the system. At the cellular level, NO has been shown to change
the electrical excitability of MNCs. Therefore, in this review, we focus on some
important points concerning nitrergic modulation of the neuroendocrine system,
particularly the effects of NO on the SON.

Abstract
S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) are involved in post-translational modifications of many proteins analogous to protein phosphorylation. In addition, RSNO have many physiological roles similar to nitric oxide ((•)NO), which are presumably involving the release of (•)NO from the RSNO. However, the much longer life span in biological systems for RSNO than (•)NO suggests a dominant role for RSNO in mediating (•)NO bioactivity. RSNO are detected in plasma in low nanomolar levels in healthy human subjects. These RSNO are believed to be redirecting the (•)NO to the vasculature. However, the mechanism for the formation of RSNO in vivo has not been established. We have reviewed the reactions of (•)NO with oxygen, metalloproteins, and free radicals that can lead to the formation of RSNO and have evaluated the potential for each mechanism to provide a source for RSNO in vivo.

Abstract
Activity-induced nitric oxide (NO) imbalance and "nitrosative stress" are proposed mechanisms of disrupted Ca(2+) homeostasis in atrophic skeletal muscle. We thus mapped S-nitrosylated (SNO) functional muscle proteins in healthy male subjects in a long-term bed rest study (BBR2-2 Study) without and with exercise as countermeasure in order to assess (i) the negative effects of chronic muscle disuse by nitrosative stress, (ii) to test for possible attenuation by exercise countermeasure in bed rest and (iii) to identify new NO target proteins. Muscle biopsies from calf soleus and hip vastus lateralis were harvested at start (Pre) and at end (End) from a bed rest disuse control group (CTR, n=9) and two bed rest resistive exercise groups either without (RE, n=7) or with superimposed vibration stimuli (RVE, n=7). At subcellular compartments, strong anti-SNO-Cys immunofluorescence patterns in control muscle fibers after bed rest returned to baseline following vibration exercise. Total SNO-protein levels, Nrf-2 gene expression and nucleocytoplasmic shuttling were changed to varying degrees in all groups. Excess SNO-protein levels of specific calcium release/uptake proteins (SNO-RyR1, -SERCA1 and -PMCA) and of contractile myosin heavy chains seen in biopsy samples of chronically disused skeletal muscle were largely reduced by vibration exercise. We also identified NOS1 as a novel NO target in human skeletal muscle controlled by activity driven auto-nitrosylation mechanisms. Our findings suggest that aberrant levels of functional SNO-proteins represent signatures of uncontrolled nitrosative stress management in disused human skeletal muscle that can be offset by exercise as countermeasure.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has various functions in physiological responses in plants, such as development, hormone signaling and defense. The mechanism of how NO regulates physiological responses has not been well understood. Protein S-nitrosylation, a redox-related modification of cysteine thiol by NO, is known to be one of the important post-translational modifications to regulate activity and interactions of proteins. To elucidate NO function in plants, proteomic analysis of S-nitrosylated proteins in potato (Solanum tuberosum) was performed. Detection and functional analysis of internal S-nitrosylated proteins is technically demanding because of the instability and reversibility of the protein S-nitrosylation. By using a modified biotin switch assay optimized for potato tissues, and nano liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry, approximately 80 S-nitrosylated candidate proteins were identified in S-nitrosoglutathione-treated potato leaves and tuber extracts. Identified proteins included redox-related enzymes, defense-related proteins and metabolic enzymes. Some of identified proteins were synthesized in Escherichia coli, and S-nitrosylation of recombinant proteins was confirmed in vitro. Dehydroascorbate reductase 1 (DHAR1, EC 1.8.5.1), one of the identified S-nitrosylated target proteins, showed glutathione-dependent dehydroascorbate-reducing activity. Either point mutation in a target cysteine of S-nitrosylation or treatment with an NO donor, S-nitroso-L-cysteine, significantly reduced the activity of DHAR1, indicating that DHAR1 is negatively regulated by S-nitrosylation of the cysteine residue essential for the enzymatic activity. These results show that the modified method developed in this study can be used to identify proteins regulated by S-nitrosylation in potato tissues.

Abstract
![]()
Nitrosothiols
(RSNOs) have been proposed as important intermediates
in nitric oxide (NO•) metabolism, storage, and transport
as well as mediators in numerous NO-signaling pathways. RSNO levels
are finely regulated, and dysregulation is associated with the etiology
of several pathologies. Current methods for RSNO quantification depend
on indirect assays that limit their overall specificity and reliability.
Recent developments of phosphine-based chemical probes constitute
a promising approach for the direct detection of RSNOs. We report
here results from a detailed mechanistic and kinetic study for trapping
RSNOs by three distinct phosphine probes, including structural identification
of novel intermediates and stability studies under physiological conditions.
We further show that a triarylphosphine-thiophenyl ester can be used
in the absolute quantification of endogenous GSNO in several cancer
cell lines, while retaining the elements of the SNO functional group,
using an LC–MS-based assay. Finally, we demonstrate that a
common product ion (m/z = 309.0),
derived from phosphine–RSNO adducts, can be used for the detection
of other low-molecular weight nitrosothiols (LMW-RSNOs) in biological
samples. Collectively, these findings establish a platform for the
phosphine ligation-based, specific and direct detection of RSNOs in
biological samples, a powerful tool for expanding the knowledge of
the biology and chemistry of NO•-mediated phenomena.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Posttranslational modification of proteins through phosphorylation, glycosylation, and oxidation adds complexity to the proteome by reversibly altering the structure and function of target proteins in a highly controlled fashion. RECENT ADVANCES The study of reversible cysteine oxidation highlights a role for this oxidative modification in complex signal transduction pathways. Nitric oxide (NO), and its respective metabolites (including reactive nitrogen species), participates in a variety of these cellular redox processes, including the reversible oxidation of cysteine to S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs). RSNOs act as endogenous transporters of NO, but also possess beneficial effects independent of NO-related signaling, which suggests a complex and versatile biological role. In this review, we highlight the importance of RSNOs as a required posttranslational modification and summarize the current methods available for detecting S-nitrosation. CRITICAL ISSUES Given the limitations of these indirect detection methods, the review covers recent developments toward the direct detection of RSNOs by phosphine-based chemical probes. The intrinsic properties that dictate this phosphine/RSNO reactivity are summarized. In general, RSNOs (both small molecule and protein) react with phosphines to yield reactive S-substituted aza-ylides that undergo further reactions leading to stable RSNO-based adducts. FUTURE DIRECTIONS This newly explored chemical reactivity forms the basis of a number of exciting potential chemical methods for protein RSNO detection in biological systems.

Abstract
Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Individuals with hypertension are at an increased risk for stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Essential hypertension results from a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. One such lifestyle factor is diet, and its role in the control of blood pressure has come under much scrutiny. Just as increased salt and sugar are known to elevate blood pressure, other dietary factors may have antihypertensive effects. Studies including the Optimal Macronutrient Intake to Prevent Heart Disease (OmniHeart) study, Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT), International Study of Salt and Blood Pressure (INTERSALT) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) study have demonstrated an inverse relationship between dietary protein and blood pressure. One component of dietary protein that may partially account for its antihypertensive effect is the nonessential amino acid cysteine. Studies in hypertensive humans and animal models of hypertension have shown that N-acetylcysteine, a stable cysteine analogue, lowers blood pressure, which substantiates this idea. Cysteine may exert its antihypertensive effects directly or through its storage form, glutathione, by decreasing oxidative stress, improving insulin resistance and glucose metabolism, lowering advanced glycation end products, and modulating levels of nitric oxide and other vasoactive molecules. Therefore, adopting a balanced diet containing cysteine-rich proteins may be a beneficial lifestyle choice for individuals with hypertension. An example of such a diet is the DASH diet, which is low in salt and saturated fat; includes whole grains, poultry, fish and nuts; and is rich in vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy products.

Abstract
The nitrosation of cysteamine (H2NCH2CH2SH) to produce cysteamine-S-nitrosothiol (CANO) was studied in slightly acidic medium by using nitrous acid prepared in situ. The stoichiometry of the reaction was H2NCH2CH2SH + HNO2 → H2NCH2CH2SNO + H2O. On prolonged standing, the nitrosothiol decomposed quantitatively to yield the disulfide, cystamine: 2H2NCH2CH2SNO → H2NCH2CH2S-SCH2CH2NH2 + 2NO. NO2 and N2O3 are not the primary nitrosating agents, since their precursor (NO) was not detected during the nitrosation process. The reaction is first order in nitrous acid, thus implicating it as the major nitrosating agent in mildly acidic pH conditions. Acid catalyzes nitrosation after nitrous acid has saturated, implicating the protonated nitrous acid species, the nitrosonium cation (NO+) as a contributing nitrosating species in highly acidic environments. The acid catalysis at constant nitrous acid concentrations suggests that the nitrosonium cation nitrosates at a much higher rate than nitrous acid. Bimolecular rate constants for the nitrosation of cysteamine by nitrous acid and by the nitrosonium cation were deduced to be 17.9 ± 1.5 (mol/L)-1 s-1 and 6.7 × 104 (mol/L)-1 s-1, respectively. Both Cu(I) and Cu(II) ions were effective catalysts for the formation and decomposition of the cysteamine nitrosothiol. Cu(II) ions could catalyze the nitrosation of cysteamine in neutral conditions, whereas Cu(I) could only catalyze in acidic conditions. Transnitrosation kinetics of CANO with glutathione showed the formation of cystamine and the mixed disulfide with no formation of oxidized glutathione (GSSG). The nitrosation reaction was satisfactorily simulated by a simple reaction scheme involving eight reactions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is becoming increasingly clear that many diseases are characterized or associated with perturbations in nitric oxide (NO) production/signaling. Therapeutics or strategies designed to restore normal NO homeostasis will likely have broad application and utility in human health. This highly complex and multi-step pathway for NO production and subsequent target activation provides many steps in the endogenous pathway that may be useful targets for drug development. Important therapeutic areas for NO-based therapies are inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, erectile dysfunction and metabolic disorders. AREAS COVERED The following review will discuss the endogenous NO pathway, highlight the current market and indications for NO-based therapeutics, as well as identify pathway targets currently under drug development. Each step along the NO pathway will be discussed including exogenous sources of NO, use of precursors to promote NO production and downstream pathways affected by NO production with advantages and disadvantages highlighted for each. EXPERT OPINION Development of NO-based therapeutics is and will continue to be a major focus of biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Understanding and utilizing dietary and nutritional strategies to restore NO homeostasis could allow for safer, quicker marketing of products that may be just as efficacious as drugs designed against specific targets.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) generating (NOGen) materials have been shown previously to create localized increases in NO concentration by the catalytic decomposition of blood S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) via copper (Cu)-containing polymer coatings and may improve extracorporeal circulation (ECC) hemocompatibility. In this work, a NOGen polymeric coating composed of a Cu⁰-nanoparticle (80 nm)-containing hydrophilic polyurethane (SP-60D-60) combined with the intravenous infusion of an RSNO, S- nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), is evaluated in a 4 h rabbit thrombogenicity model and the anti-thrombotic mechanism is investigated. Polymer films containing 10 wt.% Cu⁰-nanoparticles coated on the inner walls of ECC circuits are employed concomitantly with systemic SNAP administration (0.1182 μmol/kg/min) to yield significantly reduced ECC thrombus formation compared to polymer control + systemic SNAP or 10 wt.% Cu NOGen + systemic saline after 4 h blood exposure (0.4 ± 0.2 NOGen/SNAP vs 4.9 ± 0.5 control/SNAP or 3.2 ± 0.2 pixels/cm² NOGen/saline). Platelet count (3.9 ± 0.7 NOGen/SNAP vs 1.8 ± 0.1 control/SNAP or 3.0 ± 0.2 × 10⁸/ml NOGen/saline) and plasma fibrinogen levels were preserved after 4 h blood exposure with the NOGen/SNAP combination vs either the control/SNAP or the NOGen/saline groups. Platelet function as measured by aggregometry (51 ± 9 NOGen/SNAP vs 49 ± 3% NOGen/saline) significantly decreased in both the NOGen/SNAP and NOGen/saline groups while platelet P-selectin mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) as measured by flow cytometry was not decreased after 4 h on ECC to ex vivo collagen stimulation (26 ± 2 NOGen/SNAP vs 29 ± 1 MFI baseline). Western blotting showed that fibrinogen activation as assessed by Aγ dimer expression was reduced after 4 h on ECC with NOGen/SNAP (68 ± 7 vs 83 ± 3% control/SNAP). These results suggest that the NOGen polymer coating combined with SNAP infusion preserves platelets in blood exposure to ECCs by attenuating activated fibrinogen and preventing platelet aggregation. These NO-mediated platelet changes were shown to improve thromboresistance of the NOGen polymer-coated ECCs when adequate levels of RSNOs are present.

Abstract
Covalent adduction of a nitrosyl group to cysteines [S-nitrosylation (S-NO)] is emerging as a key route for nitric oxide (NO) to directly modulate protein functions. Here, we studied the effects of estrogens on endothelial protein S-NO and analyzed the nitrosyl-proteomes by biotin/CyDye switch technique combined with two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis and identified nitrosoproteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Estradiol-17beta (E2) rapidly stimulated protein S-NO in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, maximizing within 10- to 30-min post-E2 (10 nm) exposure. E2-BSA also rapidly stimulated protein S-NO. Both E2 and E2-BSA-induced protein S-NO was blocked by ICI 182,780 and N-nitro-l-arginine-methylester. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells expressed estrogen receptor (ER)alpha and ERbeta; both seemed to be required for E2 stimulation of protein S-NO because: 1) neither ERalpha or ERbeta agonist alone, but their combination, stimulated protein S-NO; and 2) either ERalpha or ERbeta antagonist blocked E2-induced protein S-NO. Numerous nitrosoproteins (spots) were observed on two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel. One hundred spots of interest were picked up; 58 were identified and, of which 15 were novel nitrosoproteins, 28 were up-regulated, 11 were decreased, and the rest were unchanged by E2. Pathway analysis suggested that nitrosoproteins are involved in regulating various endothelial functions, including apoptosis, cell structure and metabolism, redox homeostasis, etc. Thus, estrogens stimulate dynamic endothelial protein S-NO via mechanisms linked to specific ERs possibly on the plasma membrane and endogenous NO. These findings signify a critical next step for the understanding of the biological targets of enhanced NO production by estrogens.

Abstract
Polyurethanes are widely used in the manufacturing of biomedical catheters and other blood-contacting devices; however, thrombus formation still occurs, which renders these catheters ineffective unless systemic anticlotting agents are used. Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known inhibitor of platelet activity. In the current study, two commercially available medical polyurethanes (Pellethane and Tecophilic) were derivatized to possess NO-generating Cu(II)-cyclen moieties pendant to the polymer backbone. A new three-step synthetic approach is used, that is simpler than a recently reported method to prepare Cu(II)-cyclen-polyurethane materials. Both derivatized polyurethanes were found to produce NO at levels at or above those of endothelial cells. A comparison between the modified commercial polyurethanes (hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic) is presented, including the synthetic scheme, extensive characterization, and coating application. These derivatized polymers may serve as useful coatings to prevent clotting on the surface of catheters and other blood-contacting biomedical devices.

Abstract
The synthesis, material characterization, and in vitro biocompatibility of S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)-modified xerogels are described. Thiol-functionalized xerogel films were formed by hydrolysis and co-condensation of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) sol-gel precursors at varying concentrations. Subsequent thiol nitrosation via acidified nitrite produced RSNO-modified xerogels capable of generating nitric oxide (NO) for up to 2 weeks under physiological conditions. Xerogels also exhibited NO generation upon irradiation with broad-spectrum light or exposure to copper, with NO fluxes proportional to wattage and concentration, respectively. Xerogels were capable of storing up to approximately 1.31 micromol NO mg(-1), and displayed negligible fragmentation over a 2-week period. Platelet and bacterial adhesion to nitrosated films was reduced compared to non-nitrosated controls, confirming the antithrombotic and antibacterial properties of the NO-releasing materials. Fibroblast cell viability was maintained on the xerogel surfaces illustrating the promise of RSNO-modified xerogels as biomedical device coatings.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) produces covalent PTMs of specific cysteine residues, a process known as S-nitrosylation. This route is dynamically regulated and is one of the major NO signalling pathways known to have strong and dynamic interactions with redox signalling. In agreement with this scenario, binding of NO to key cysteine groups can be linked to a broad range of physiological and pathological cellular events, such as smooth muscle relaxation, neurotransmission and neurodegeneration. The characterization of S-nitrosylated residues and the functional relevance of this protein modification are both essential information needed to understand the action of NO in living organisms. In this review, we focus on recent advances in this field and on state-of-the-art proteomic approaches which are aimed at characterizing the S-nitrosylome in different biological backgrounds.

Abstract
In this study, we apply a hybrid DFT functional, MPW1LYP, to make a comparison between MeSNO and MeSeNO. Due to the mesomeric effect and negative hyperconjugation, Se-nitrososelenols seem to be more unstable than S-nitrosothiols regarding unimolecular decomposition. Interestingly, however, the barrier of the transnitrosation reaction of MeSeNO is larger than that of MeSNO, disregarding nucleophiles in the gas phase. Using the polarizable continuum model to consider the water solvent effect, the transnitrosation reactions of MeXNO and YMe- (X = S, Se; Y = S, Se) are found to undergo concerted reactions, in sharp contrast to the two-step reaction pathways concluded in the gas phase. Moreover, the barriers of the transnitrosation reactions of MeSNO for nucleophiles SMe- and SeMe- from the gas phase to the aqueous solution are found to be decreased, while the transnitrosation reactions of MeSeNO are essentially barrierless in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in developed countries such as the U.K., but incidence rates around the world vary approx. 20-fold. Diet is thought to be a key factor determining risk: red and processed meat, but not white meat or fish, are associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. The endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds is a possible explanation because red and processed meat, but not white meat or fish, cause a dose-dependent increase in faecal ATNCs (apparent total N-nitroso compounds) and the formation of nitroso-compound-specific DNA adducts in humans. Red meat is particularly rich in haem which has been found to promote the endogenous formation of ATNC. Nitrosyl haem and nitroso thiols have been identified as major constituents of both faecal and ileal ATNC with a significant increase in the formation of these compounds following a diet rich in red meat. In vitro incubations show that, under simulated gastric conditions, nitroso thiols are the main species of nitroso compound formed, suggesting that acid-catalysed thionitrosation is the initial step in the endogenous formation of nitroso compounds. Nitrosyl haem and other nitroso compounds can then form under the alkaline and reductive conditions of the small and large bowel.

Abstract
Density functional theory methods have been used to investigate the role and effects of Cu+ binding to the S and N centers of the -SNO functional group within S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs), on the lability of the NO group. The binding of Cu+ to the S center is found to weaken the S-N bond, while the N-O bond is concomitantly strengthened, consistent with the notion that Cu+ binding catalyzes NO radical release. In contrast, however, the binding of Cu+ to the N center is found to dramatically shorten and strengthen the S-N bond with a concomitant lengthening of the N-O bond, suggesting stabilization of the RSNOs against NO release. Upon solvation, complexes with Cu+ bound to the N center are stabilized relative to the corresponding S-bound complexes, though remaining slightly higher in energy. The barriers to interconversion between corresponding isomers were also investigated. Implications for biochemical regulation of NO release from RSNOs are discussed.

Abstract
S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) have many biological functions including platelet deactivation, immunosupression, neurotransmission, and host defense. Most of the functions are attributed to nitric oxide (NO) release during S-nitrosothiol decomposition. As the simplest biologically occurring S-nitrosothiol, S-nitrosocysteine (CySNO) has been widely used as an NO donor and has also been incorporated into biomedical polymers. Knowledge of the CySNO decomposition rate is important for assessing the impact of CySNO on various bioengineering applications or biological systems. In this work, spectrophotometer measurements of CySNO decomposition in the presence of metal ions showed that the decomposition rate is highly susceptible to the pH. The maximum decomposition occurs near physiological pH (near 7.4) while in the acidic (pH < 6) and alkaline (pH > 9) condition CySNO is very stable. This demonstrates that blood provides an optimized environment for the decomposition of CySNO leading to the release of NO. The CySNO decomposition rate can also be affected by buffers with different purity levels in the presence and absence of metal ion chelators-although all buffers show the same pH phenomenon of maximizing near physiological pH. An equilibrium model of metal ions as a function of pH provides a plausible explanation for the pH dependence on the experimental decomposition rate.

Abstract
The direct amperometric detection of S-nitrosothiol species (RSNOs) is realized by modifying a previously reported amperometric nitric oxide gas sensor with thin hydrophilic polyurethane films containing catalytic Cu(II)/(I) sites. Catalytic Cu(II)/(I)-mediated decomposition of S-nitrosothiols generates NO(g) in the thin polymeric film at the distal tip of the NO sensor. Three different species are examined to create the catalytic layer: (1) a lipophilic Cu(II)-ligand complex; (2) Cu(II)-phosphate salt; and (3) small (3-microm) metallic Cu(0) particles. All three catalytic layers yield reversible amperometric response in proportion to the concentration of S-nitrosothiols (e.g., nitrosocysteine, nitrosoglutathione, S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine, S-nitrosoalbumin) present in the aqueous test solution. Sensitivity toward the different RSNO species is dependent on the respective catalytic rates of decomposition of the RSNO species by reactive Cu(I), accessibility of the species into the polyurethane layer containing the catalyst, the level of reducing agents (ascorbate) used in solution to help generate reactive Cu(I) species, and the concentration of metal ion complexing agents present in the test solution (e.g., EDTA). Under optimized conditions, all RSNO species can be detected at < or =1 microM levels, with sensor lifetimes of at least 10 days for the sensors based on Cu(II)-phosphate and Cu0 particles. It is further shown that the new RSNO sensors can be used to assess the "NO-generating" ability of fresh blood samples by effectively detecting the total level of reactive RSNO species present in such samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Free nitric oxide (NO) reacts with sulphydryl residues to form S-nitrosothiols, which act as NO reservoirs. We sought to determine whether thiol-preserving agents and antioxidants, such as dithiothreitol (DTT) and vitamin C, induce NO release from S-nitrosylated proteins in endothelial cell cultures to promote angiogenesis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS NO release was measured directly in cell supernatants using a Sievers NO Analyser, and in vitro angiogenesis was assessed by quantifying capillary-like tube network formation of porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) on growth factor-reduced Matrigel. Incubation of PAEC with DTT or vitamin C significantly increased NO release in a concentration-dependent manner. However, the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, L-NNA and L-NIO, had no effect on DTT- or vitamin C-induced NO release, and there was no concomitant increase in the phosphorylation of endothelial NOS at serine-1177 following DTT or vitamin C treatment. DTT and vitamin C increased capillary-like tube network formation by nine- and two-fold, respectively, and the addition of copper ions doubled the effect of vitamin C. Surprisingly, DTT maintained endothelial tube networks for up to one month under serum-free conditions, and selective inhibitors of guanylyl cyclase (ODQ) and PKG (KT-5823) blocked this, demonstrating the requirement of cyclic GMP and PKG in this process. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Both DTT and vitamin C are capable of releasing sufficient NO from S-nitrosothiols to induce capillary morphogenesis. This study provides the first evidence that increased denitrosylation leads to increased bioavailability of NO, independent of NOS activity, to promote sustained angiogenesis.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological signaling agent. The specific detection of NO represents a continuing challenge in the field of NO research. Many methods are currently employed for the detection of NO. Here, we report a qualitative but specific detection method for gaseous NO liberated in and from solution taking advantage of its low solubility. Importantly, our mid-infrared laser absorption method does not depend on any chemical derivatization of NO, and is applicable over a wide range of concentrations for both protein work and in organic-inorganic modeling work. We also apply this method to the specific detection of 15NO.

Abstract
A polymer-bound dirhodium complex, [{Rh2(O2CCH3)3(Ds-pip)}n(O2C-P)], was prepared via ligand exchange of [Rh2(O2CCH3)4] with the side chains of a methyl methacrylate/methacrylic acid copolymer (O2C-P) followed by axial coordination of the fluorophore, N-dansylpiperazine (Ds-pip). Emission from Ds-pip is quenched when coordinated to the dirhodium complex but can be restored upon displacement by analytes. Exposure of [{Rh2(O2CCH3)3(Ds-pip)}n(O2C-P)] films to aqueous nitric oxide (NO) evokes a 2.2-fold increase in integrated emission. The polymer matrix excludes potentially interfering analytes including reactive oxygen or nitrogen species, which cannot readily permeate the film.

Abstract
Recent data suggest that either excessive or deficient levels of protein S-nitrosylation may contribute to disease. Disruption of S-nitrosothiol (SNO) homeostasis may result not only from altered nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity but also from alterations in the activity of denitrosylases that remove NO groups. A subset of patients with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) that increase the denitrosylase activity of SOD1. Here, we show that the increased denitrosylase activity of SOD1 mutants leads to an aberrant decrease in intracellular protein and peptide S-nitrosylation in cell and animal models of ALS. Deficient S-nitrosylation is particularly prominent in the mitochondria of cells expressing SOD1 mutants. Our results suggest that SNO depletion disrupts the function and/or subcellular localization of proteins that are regulated by S-nitrosylation such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and thereby contributes to ALS pathogenesis. Repletion of intracellular SNO levels with SNO donor compounds rescues cells from mutant SOD1-induced death. These results suggest that aberrant depletion of intracellular SNOs contributes to motor neuron death in ALS, and raises the possibility that deficient S-nitrosylation is a general mechanism of disease pathogenesis. SNO donor compounds may provide new therapeutic options for diseases such as ALS that are associated with deficient S-nitrosylation.

Abstract
The interaction of nitric oxide with thiols is complex and still an active area of research. Herein, we provide an overview of the ways in which nitric oxide can be biologically transformed into species capable of adding an NO moiety to protein sulfhydryls, emphasizing how protein S-nitrosation differs from nitrosation of low molecular weight thiols. Protein S-nitrosation is being revealed as a post-translational means of chemically modifying and functionally altering proteins. Changes in protein function, which persist on a physiologically relevant time scale, effectively transmit biological signals and thus provide a framework for elucidating signaling networks. A description of recently developed methodology facilitating inquiry into this area is provided, along with a sketch of various proteins reported to be targets for nitrosation and the functional consequences therein. Protein denitrosation appears to be an active and perhaps enzymatically catalyzed process. Here, we summarize the evidence that suggests this and proffer a précis of proteins possessing denitrosation activity.
