Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase I gene knockout (DDAHI KO) induces pulmonary endothelial dysfunction in vitro and in vivo. DDAHI KO in murine pulmonary microvascular cells (PMVECs) results in inhibition of gap junctional communication (A), increase in endothelial permeability (B), and inhibition of endothelial tube formation (C). D, Rotigaptide attenuates pulmonary endothelial permeability in lungs of DDAHI KO mice. One asterisk: Inline graphic; two asterisks: Inline graphic, comparisons with controls. Inline graphic. AdGFP: adenoviruses for overexpression of green fluorescent protein.
