要旨 Physiological cellular regulation is achieved through a highly complicated signal transduction system with a myriad of signal elements that allow adaptation to various environmental changes in well-governed stimulus-response mechanisms. Besides roles of messenger molecules that transduce and refine signals, modifications on signal element provide further potential to adapt abrupt environmental changes. Nitric oxide (NO) is a unique molecule in signaling since it works as both a second messenger and a modifier of signal component. Moreover, enzymatic NO production in biological system reflects environmental changes resulting in the alteration of NO availability, thus NO-based regulatory system on signal transduction has an advantage to reflect environmental changes in signaling through two ways, signal transmission and signal modification. Investigation of regulatory mechanism in signaling by NO has wide application in biological science; however, NO itself requires higher attention on its nature when handling and measuring its activities in biological materials. This seminar initially provides basic concept on NO in chemistry and biochemistry, with focus on synthesis and decomposition of NO. Then, will provide methods to detect and measure NO and its derivatives, with particular emphasis on factors to avoid technical glitches. Finally, an overview of therapeutic opportunities of NO and derivatives in human disease will be presented.
