Peroxynitrite inhibits the expression of G<sub>i</sub>α protein and adenylyl cyclase signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We previously showed that S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, a nitric oxide donor, decreased the levels and functions of G(i)alpha proteins by formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The present studies were undertaken to investigate whether ONOO(-) can modulate the expression of G(i)alpha protein and associated adenylyl cyclase signaling in VSMC. Treatment of A-10 and aortic VSMC with ONOO(-) for 24 h decreased the expression of G(i)alpha-2 and G(i)alpha-3, but not G(s)alpha, protein in a concentration-dependent manner; expression was restored toward control levels by (111)Mn-tetralis(benzoic acid porphyrin) and uric acid, but not by 1H[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxaline-1-one (ODQ) and KT-5823. cGMP levels were increased by approximately 50% and 150% by 0.1 and 0.5 mM ONOO(-), respectively, and attenuated toward control levels by ODQ. In addition, 0.5 mM ONOO(-) attenuated the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase by ANG II and C-type atrial natriuretic peptide (C-ANP(4-23)), as well as the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity by GTPgammaS, whereas, the G(s)-mediated stimulations were augmented. In addition, 0.5 mM ONOO(-) decreased phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAP kinase and enhanced JNK phosphorylation but did not affect AKT1/3 phosphorylation. These results suggest that ONOO(-) decreased the expression of G(i) proteins and associated functions in VSMC through a cGMP-independent mechanism and may involve the MAP kinase signaling pathway.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
