PG - 279-88 AB - The present investigation was undertaken to study the alterations in free radical generation and release of nitric oxide (NO) from polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) following thrombosis. Thrombosis was induced in rats by intravenous injection of collagen and adrenaline. PMNLs were separated from rat blood by using dextran sedimentation and Ficoll-Hypaque. Arachidonic acid (AA), formyl methionine leucine phenylalanine (FMLP) and opsonized zymosan (OZ) induced free radical generation was estimated as luminol (LCL) and Lucigenin (LUCDCL) dependent chemiluminescence. PMNLs nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and NO release were measured by using [14C] L-Arginine (L-Arg) and oxy-hemoglobin respectively. LCL and LUCDCL responses in rat PMNLs were significantly attenuated following thrombosis. There was no change in the release of myeloperoxidase enzyme (MPO) from PMNLs obtained following thrombosis. PMNLs NOS activity and NO release were also found to be increased after thrombosis. Pretreatment of rat PMNLs with 10 mM L-NAME (NO precursor) or 100 microM sodium nitroprusside (NO donor), resulted in significant reduction of AA induced LCL response. Results obtained indicate that NO release form PMNLs was augmented while free radical generation response was attenuated after the induction of thrombosis.
