Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) donors inhibit the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent auto(trans)phosphorylation of the EGF receptor (EGFR) in several cell types in which NO exerts antiproliferative effects. We demonstrate in this report that NO inhibits, whereas NO synthase inhibition potentiates, the EGFR tyrosine kinase activity in NO-producing cells, indicating that physiological concentrations of NO were able to...
