ONOO is involved in GTPCH1 inhibition and GTPCH1 ubiquitination in diabetic mouse aortas in vivo. Control (11 mice) and STZ-induced diabetic mice (12 mice) were fed Tempo as described in research design and methods. A: Tempo treatment normalizes the maximal endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in diabetic mice. B: Effects of Tempo treatment on total eNOS and the serine 1177 phosphorylation of eNOS in control and STZ-injected diabetic mice. C: Tempo treatment suppresses diabetes-enhanced superoxide production. D: Tempo ablates 3-NT formation in diabetic mouse aortas. E: Tempo abolishes diabetes-induced GTPCH1 inhibition in diabetic mouse aortas. F: Effects of diabetes and Tempo treatment on GTPCH1 ubiquitination in vivo. The total GTPCH1 and ubiquitinated GTPCH1 were assayed in isolated mouse aortas. The blot is a representative of six blots obtained from six independent experiments. n = 6. G: Schematic description for ONOO-induced GTPCH1 inhibition and eNOS uncoupling. Ub, ubiquitin. *P < 0.05 STZ vs. control; #P < 0.05 control + Tempo or L-NAME vs. STZ; †P < 0.05 STZ vs. STZ plus Tempo or L-NAME.
