Research Abstract

In order to examine the role of the nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) system in vivo, we generated mice in which all three NOS genes are completely disrupted. In this study, we examined the role of the NOSs system in organ connection by using our triple NOSs-KO mice, and clarified that the NOSs system expressed in bone-marrow-derived vascular smooth muscle progenitor cells exerts an inhibitory effect on vascular lesion formation after carotid artery ligation, and that the NOS system plays a role in reno-cardiac connection.
