IL17A — NOS3

Text-mined interactions from Literome

Liu et al., J Immunol 2012 (Vascular Diseases) : Induction of endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression by IL-17 in human vascular endothelial cells : implications for vascular remodeling in transplant vasculopathy ... We have examined the role of IL-17 in regulating endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression in human vascular endothelial cells ( ECs ) because of the key role of eNOS in determining the pathological outcome of immune mediated vascular diseases ... In cultured ECs, IL-17 increased expression of eNOS , eNOS phosphorylation at Ser ( 1177 ), and NO production ... The induction of eNOS expression by IL-17 was prevented by the pharmacological inhibition of NF-?B, MEK, and JNK, as well as by small interfering RNA mediated gene silencing of these signaling pathways ... Altogether, these findings show that IL-17 induces the expression of eNOS in human ECs and that this may facilitate outward expansion of arteries afflicted with TV
Nguyen et al., Cardiovasc Res 2013 (Hypertension) : In isolated mouse aortas, IL-17 significantly increased eNOS Thr495 phosphorylation, induced RhoA expression, and decreased NO-dependent relaxation responses, all of which were prevented by either an IL-17 neutralizing antibody or inhibition of Rho-kinase
