However, iNOS protein was below the limit of detection following any level of hypoxic exposure (positive control was lipopolysaccharide-treated mouse spleen) and using several different antibodies (Affinity Bioreagents and BD Transduction Laboratories; Affinity Bioreagents blot shown), and nNOS was unchanged among the three experimental groups (positive control was mouse brain).
It is well known that acute lung infection and septic shock may impair hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction through the massive release from activated endothelium of vasodilating mediators such as prostaglandins and endogenous NO, and hence result in disproportionately high shunting and hypoxemia [ 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32].
As a matter of fact, although the percentage of lung consolidation tended to be greater in patients without septic shock (63 vs 57%), their mean PaO 2 tended to be higher (95 ± 16 vs 88 ± 11 mmHg), suggesting some degree of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction impairment in the non-ventilated lung areas of patients with septic shock.
LeCras et al . [ 13] found that the amount of eNOS protein was increased in hypoxic, hypertensive rat lungs, and that this was not entirely due to the presence of hypertension and increased shear stress, but was also due to hypoxia.
Under more physiologically relevant levels of hypoxia, the central role of eNOS in protecting against hypertension is supported by our observation that loss of eNOS leads to increased acute hypoxic vasoconstriction and development of pulmonary hypertension [ 9, 10, 11, 12].
