Abstract Interleukin-1 induced a time-dependent release of high levels of nitric oxide from rat vascular smooth muscle cells up to 96 hours. A time-dependent release of lactate dehydrogenase was also induced by Interleukin-1 from 72 to 96 hours after its stimulation. In situ nick end-labeling assay revealed that incubation for 48 hours with interleukin-1 induced a positive staining of fragmented nuclei. However, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, inhibited both lactate dehydrogenase release and DNA fragmentation induced by interleukin-1. Furthermore, sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donor, also induced lactate dehydrogenase release and DNA fragmentation. Fluorescent staining of DNA revealed patches of irregularly dispersed, brightly staining, and condensed chromatin in rat vascular smooth muscle cells treated with sodium nitroprusside. Flow cytometric analysis with monoclonal antibody against human Fas revealed that expression of Fas was upregulated by sodium nitroprusside in human vascular smooth muscle cells. Methylene blue, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase, did not affect sodium nitroprusside–induced upregulation of Fas. Furthermore, 8-bromo-guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate, an analogue of cGMP, did not upregulate Fas expression. These findings indicate that nitric oxide released from vascular smooth muscle cells may induce apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells themselves and also induces upregulation of Fas via a cGMP-independent mechanism. Thus, nitric oxide could trigger the remodeling of atherosclerotic plaques.
