author keywords: nitric oxide; barrier function; diarrhea; cryptosporidiosis
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Body Weight; Chlorides / metabolism; Cryptosporidiosis / enzymology; Cryptosporidiosis / metabolism; Cryptosporidium parvum / immunology; Epithelial Cells / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Ileum / cytology; Ileum / metabolism; Ileum / ultrastructure; Intestinal Mucosa / cytology; Intestinal Mucosa / metabolism; Intestinal Mucosa / pathology; NF-kappa B / metabolism; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II / genetics; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II / metabolism; Swine; Swine Diseases / enzymology; Swine Diseases / metabolism; Swine Diseases / parasitology
TL;DR: It is shown that mucosal expression of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) is increased in infected piglets and that inhibition of iNOS in vitro has no short-term effect on barrier function, suggesting that induction of i NOS represents a nonspecific response of the epithelium that mediates enterocyte defense against C. parvum infection.

2005 journal article

Local peroxynitrite formation contributes to early control of Cryptosporidium parvum infection

INFECTION AND IMMUNITY, 73(7), 3929–3936.

By: J. Gookin n , J. Allen n, S. Chiang n, L. Duckett n & M. Armstrong n

MeSH headings : Animals; Cryptosporidiosis / immunology; Cryptosporidium parvum; Female; Immunohistochemistry; Lipid Peroxidation; Nitric Oxide Synthase / analysis; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II; Peroxynitrous Acid / biosynthesis; Swine; Tyrosine / metabolism
TL;DR: The present results are the first to demonstrate an in vivo role for peroxynitrite formation in acute mucosal defense against a noninvasive intestinal epithelial pathogen. (via Semantic Scholar)
