AbstractThe markers of the bioavailability of NO (endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine and cyclic GMP content) in the thoracic aorta of apolipoprotein-E-deficient (ApoE KO) mice, 20 weeks old with enriched cholesterol diet or 35 weeks old on regular chow, are not decreased, in contrast with other models of atherosclerosis. However, severe hypercholesterolemia, the presence of atherosclerotic lesions and increased NADPH oxidase activity have been reported as early as at 20 weeks of age. The present experiments were designed to test if an increased capacity of NO production in these mice explains this paradox. The expressions of the 3 isoforms of NO synthase (NOS) were compared in ApoE KO and C57Bl/6J mice using Western blot and localized by immunohistochemistry. No adaptive increase in the expression of NOS was detected in ApoE KO mice. NO bio-availability could also be preserved by upregulation of enzymes involved in redox status such as CuZn or Mn superoxide dismutase and catalase. However, these enzymes were less expressed in ApoE KO mice than in control mice. These results highlight that ApoE KO mice represent an atypical model of atherosclerosis. Copyright © 2003 S.
