Some kinds of cells including macrophages are known to produce large quantities of NO in response to inflammatory stimuli such as cytokines and lipopolysaccharide LPS. Reactive oxygen species are also known to be important in the pathogenesis of cell and tissue injury such as otitis media with effusions. Using the macrophage RAW 264.7 cell, we have examined the ability of oxidant hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2 to stimulate NO production and inducible nitric oxide synthase inos mrna expression. Also, we have examined the effects of Dexamethasone DEX and antioxidants on H2O2 induced NO production. Materials and Method : Macrophages were cultured with LPS and H 2 O 2 in the presence or absence of DEX or antioxidants for 24 hr. The effect of DEX and antioxidants on NO production and inos mrna expression was examined by assaying the culture supernatant for oxidation product nitrite NO 2 and nitrate NO 3 content and Northern blot analysis. The effect of DEX on NO production when added at different stages of activation was determined. ResultsDEX significantly inhibited the formation of NO 2 and NO 3 and inos mrna expression in cells stimulated with LPS and H 2 O 2. Antioxidants significantly inhibited the H 2 O 2 -induced augmentation of LPS induced NO 2 and NO 3 formation and inos mrna expression. ConclusionH 2 O 2 contributes to the inflammatory process by augmenting the inos mrna expression and the NO synthesis induced by LPS, and DEX. On the other hand, antioxidants inhibit the NO synthesis by inhibition of inos mrna expression. Korean J Otolaryngol 2000;43:136-42 KEY WORDSiNOS Nitric oxide Dexamethasone Antioxidants. 136
