Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) regulation in human and murine macrophages in vitro differs considerably. In this study, expression of macrophage iNOS in ruminants was addressed. Nitric oxide (NO) output by cattle and goat macrophages was as different as that by human and mouse macrophages. Bovine macrophages activated by heated Salmonella dublin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expressed high levels of iNOS mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity. Analogously cultured caprine macrophages did not respond to these and other activators by NO generation and iNOS expression. The lack of response was not due to general unresponsiveness to stimuli. Caprine iNOS mRNA was induced by stimulation of caprine macrophages with LPS, as shown by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The level of mRNA expression in activated goat macrophages was lower than in resting bovine macrophages. A caprine 372-bp iNOS mRNA fragment that was sequenced closely resembled the bovine counterpart. This points to species-specific iNOS gene regulation.
