Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The role of nitric oxide (NO) and NO synthase (NOS) in ciliary motility is unclear. We investigated the role of NO in ciliary motility using triply NOS knockout mice in the present study. Lipopolysaccharide exposure caused more decrease of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in triply NOS knockout mice compared with wild mice 24 hours exposure, and pre-treatment of isosorbide dinitrate (NO donor) improved the decrease of CBF. These results suggest the important protective role of NO in ciliary motility.
