It was tested whether the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) pathway might be involved in lipopolysaccharides-(LPS)-induced up-regulation of L-arginine transport in rat alveolar macrophages (AM). AM were cultured in absence or presence of LPS. Nitrite accumulation was determined in culture media and cells were used to study [3H]-L-arginine uptake or to isolate RNA for RT - PCR. Culture in presence of LPS (1 microg ml(-1), 20 h) caused 11 fold increase of nitrite accumulation and 2.5 fold increase of [3H]-L-arginine uptake. The inducible NO synthase (iNOS) inhibitor 2-amino-5,6-dihydro-6-methyl-4H-1,3-thiazine (AMT) present alone during culture had only marginal effects on [3H]-L-arginine uptake. However, AMT present during culture additionally to LPS, suppressed LPS-induced nitrite accumulation and LPS-stimulated [3H]-L-arginine uptake in the same concentration-dependent manner. AMT present only for the last 30 min of the culture period had similar effects on [3H]-L-arginine uptake. AMT present only during the uptake period also inhibited LPS-stimulated [3H]-L-arginine uptake, but with lower potency. The inhibitory effect of AMT could not be opposed by the NO releasing compound DETA NONOate. LPS caused an up-regulation of the mRNA for the cationic amino acid transporter CAT-2B, and this effect was not affected by AMT. AMT (100 microM) did not affect L-arginine transport studied by electrophysiological techniques in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing either the human cationic amino acid transporter hCAT-1 or hCAT-2B. In conclusion, iNOS inhibition in rat AM abolished LPS-activated L-arginine uptake. This effect appears to be caused by reduced flow of L-arginine through the iNOS pathway.
