Popis: Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a short-lived paracrine factor and selectively activates transcription of certain genes. The spectrum of inducible genes was studied in primary chondrocytes. A cDNA library was obtained by subtraction hybridization with RNAs isolated from rabbit chondrocytes before and after treatment with nitrosoglutathione, an NO-generating agent. Some of the cloned cDNAs were homologous to known mammalian genes and human EST. NO-dependent transcriptional activation was demonstrated for the stromelysin 1 and cyclooxygenase 2 genes and, for the first time, for mcl1 coding for an apoptosis suppressor.
