Abstract：
:Numerous studies have suggested that nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) participates in modulating cardiovascular function. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of NO, exists in 3 isoforms: endothelial NOS (eNOS), neuronal NOS (nNOS), and inducible NOS (iNOS). Although the distribution of nNOS in the NTS has been well documented, the distribution of eNOS in the NTS has not. Because recent studies have shown that eNOS may contribute to regulation of baroreceptor reflexes and arterial pressure, we examined the distribution of eNOS and the types of cells that express it in rat NTS by using multiple labels for immunofluorescent staining and confocal microscopy. Immunoreactivity (IR) for eNOS and nNOS was found in cells and processes in all NTS subnuclei, but eNOS-IR was more uniformly distributed than was nNOS-IR. Although structures containing either eNOS-IR or nNOS-IR were often present in close proximity, they never contained both isoforms. Almost all eNOS-IR positive structures, but no nNOS-IR positive structures, contained IR for the glial marker glial fibrillary acidic protein. Furthermore, while all nNOS-IR positive cells contained IR for the neuronal marker neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN), none of the eNOS-IR positive cells contained NeuN-IR. We conclude that eNOS in the NTS is present only in astrocytes and endothelial cells, not in neurons. Our data complement previous physiological studies and suggest that although NO from nNOS may modulate neurotransmission directly in the NTS, NO from eNOS in the NTS may modulate cardiovascular function through an interaction between astrocytes and neurons.
