Figure 3. Enzymatic activities of various eNOS—HEK-293 stable clones.

Figure 3

(A) Nitrate/nitrite accumulation in HEK-293 cell culture medium 48 h after plating. The nitrate/nitrite accumulation in culture medium was determined using a colorimetric assay kit obtained from Cayman Chemical Co. (B) L-citrulline formation activity was determined in the cell lysates of various eNOS–HEK-293 stable clones. Reactions were carried out as described in the ‘Materials and Methods’ section. (C) The eNOS–HEK-293 cell lysates were immunoblotted with an antibody specific to total eNOS to confirm the equal expression levels of each eNOS construct. Data shown are the mean±S.D. (*P<0.05; **P<0.01; NS, no significant difference versus WT eNOS). Each experiment was performed in triplicate and repeated three times.
