Abstract
Angiogenesis, eg. formation of new blood vessels, is regulated by different angiogenic factors. Nitric oxide (NO) is also a very well known biological mediator involved in vascular physiology. This study focuses on relationships between the effect of angiogenin, a major angiogenic factor, and extracellular NO release. NO concentration was sensed electrochemically using a fibronectin coated multiple microelectrode array. Angiogenin was shown to increase NO levels, thus triggering nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity. Our results also demonstrate that angiogenin activates NOS by interacting with the cell nucleus and via Akt Kinase transduction.
