AbstractSupplementation of L-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, during the late phase of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion increases myocyte apoptosis and exacerbates myocardial injury, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. During myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, apoptosis of endothelial cells precedes that of cardiomyocyte. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) production is increased during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, which may exacerbate myocardial injury by inducing endothelial cell apoptosis. We postulated that L-arginine may exacerbate TNF-induced endothelial cell apoptosis by enhancing peroxynitrite-mediated nitrative stress. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells were either not treated (control) or treated with TNF alone or with TNF in the presence of L-arginine, the nonselective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N (omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), propofol (an anesthetic that scavenges peroxynitrite), or L-arginine plus propofol, respectively, for 24 hours. TNF increased intracellular superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production accompanied by increases of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression and nitric oxide production. This was accompanied by increased protein expression of nitrotyrosine, a fingerprint of peroxynitrite and an index of nitrative stress, and increased endothelial cell apoptosis. L-arginine did not enhance TNF-induced increases of superoxide and peroxynitrite production but further increased TNF-induced increase of nitrotyrosine production and exacerbated TNF-mediated cell apoptosis. L-NNA and propofol, respectively, reduced TNF-induced nitrative stress and attenuated TNF cellular toxicity. The L-arginine-mediated enhancement of nitrative stress and TNF toxicity was attenuated by propofol. Thus, under pathological conditions associated with increased TNF production, L-arginine supplementation may further exacerbate TNF cellular toxicity by enhancing nitrative stress. © 2010 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
