Nitric oxide and tissue destruction

Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical which has complex roles in both health and disease. It is now recognized that NO is essential for a vast spectrum of intracellular and extracellular events in a wide variety of tissues. NO has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In this review we consider the roles of NO generally and in particular the implications for periodontal diseases.

“…In contrast, one report has described a reduction of salivary NO levels in individuals with adult periodontitis and with aggressive periodontitis (29). This report is in disagreement with the vast majority of the literature that describes increased levels of NO in periodontal disease (5,(30)(31)(32).…”

“…It is hypothesized that the inhibition of activity could be due to the NOmediated nitrosylation of receptors or other proteins involved in the secretion signal transduction pathways (Caulfield et al 2009). However, this relationship between increased nitrite concentrations and salivary gland hypofunction is more complicated, since other oral inflammatory disorders exhibit increased nitrite concentrations in saliva as well (Kendall et al 2000, ;Kendall, Marshall, and Bartold 2001, ;Ohashi, Iwase, and Nagumo 1999).…”

“…In high concentrations, NO can cause severe tissue damage (12). The quantification of NO produced by cells in culture was determined by detection of nitrite accumulation in the cell culture supernatant by the diazotisation reaction with Griess reagent (Sigma-Aldrich).…”

“…Cell viability was determined by means of the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay (12) This method determines the respiratory activity of the cell culture by cleavage of MTT salt [3-(4,5-dimethyltriazol-2YL) -2,5-diphenyl bromide tetrazolium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), by the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme system, resulting in soluble crystals (formazan crystals).…”
