Regulation of taurine transport by Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin and guanylin in human intestinal cell lines.

Brandsch, M, Ramamoorthy, S, Marczin, N, Catravas, J D, Leibach, J W, Ganapathy, V, ...

The human colon carcinoma cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29 take up taurine actively. Treatment of Caco-2 cells with Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) or with guanylin inhibited taurine uptake...

Regulation of taurine transport by Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin and guanylin in human intestinal cell lines.

Brandsch, M, Ramamoorthy, S, Marczin, N, Catravas, J D, Leibach, J W, Ganapathy, V, ...

The human colon carcinoma cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29 take up taurine actively. Treatment of Caco-2 cells with Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) or with guanylin inhibited taurine uptake...

Angiotensin converting enzyme activity is present in the endothelium-denuded aorta.

Pipili, E., Manolopoulos, V. G., Catravas, J. D., Maragoudakis, M. E.

Angiotensin converting enzyme activity was measured in intact aortic rings utilizing the synthetic tripeptide [3H]-benzoyl-Phe-Ala-Pro as the substrate. Intact aortic rings possessed angiotensin...

Mechanisms of tolerance to sodium nitroprusside in rat cultured aortic smooth muscle cells.

Papapetropoulos, A., Go, C. Y., Murad, F., Catravas, J. D.

1. While exposure of smooth muscle cells to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) leads to the development of tolerance to soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activation, the mechanisms responsible for this...

Cytoskeleton-dependent activation of the inducible nitric oxide synthase in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells.

Marczin, N., Jilling, T., Papapetropoulos, A., Go, C., Catravas, J. D.

1. Vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells generate nitric oxide (NO) via different nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isozymes. Activation of the endothelial constitutive NOS (ecNOS) contributes to...

Downregulation of nitrovasodilator-induced cyclic GMP accumulation in cells exposed to endotoxin or interleukin-1 beta.

Papapetropoulos, A., Abou-Mohamed, G., Marczin, N., Murad, F., Caldwell, R. W., Catravas, J. D.

1. Induction of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) results in overproduction of nitric oxide (NO), which may be a principal cause of the massive vasodilatation and hypotension observed in septic shock....

Inhibition of endothelial-bound angiotensin converting enzyme, in vivo.

Catravas, J. D., Ryan, J. W., Chung, A. Y., Quinn, N. E., Anthony, B. L.

1. We determined apparent Ki constants of two inhibitors, captopril and CL242,817, for pulmonary endothelial-bound angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in anaesthetized rabbits....

Prevention of nitric oxide synthase induction in vascular smooth muscle cells by microtubule depolymerizing agents.

Marczin, N., Papapetropoulos, A., Jilling, T., Catravas, J. D.

We investigated the role of microtubules in the induction of nitric oxide synthase in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. We found that like interleukin-1 alpha, lipopolysaccharide elicited a time...
