Inhibition of eNOS by L-NAME resulting in rat hind limb developmental defects through PFKFB3 mediated angiogenetic pathway.

ABSTRACT: L-arginine/NOS/NO signaling pathway plays a critical role in controlling variety of vascular diseases. However, whether NOS inhibition by L-NAME suppresses late embryonic development is undefined. The aim of this study is to determine whether NOS inhibition by L-NAME is critical for late embryonic rat hind limb development. The pregnant rat at E13.5 administrated L-NAME by consecutive intraperitoneal injection. The embryos been harvested from E16.5 to E 20.5. Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry performed to determine hind limb Vasculogenesis, HUVEC culture, Adenoviral PFKFB3 infection, Real time PCR and western blot were performed to determine whether L-arginine/NOS/NO pathway controlling late embryonic hind limb development through PFKFB3 mediated a
