Requirement for inducible nitric oxide synthase in chronic allergen exposure-induced pulmonary fibrosis but not inflammation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The role of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in allergic airway inflammation remains elusive. We tested the hypothesis that iNOS plays different roles during acute versus chronic airway inflammation. Acute and chronic mouse models of OVA-induced airway inflammation were used to conduct the study. We showed that iNOS deletion was associated with a reduction in eosinophilia, mucus hypersecretion, and IL-5 and IL-13 production upon the acute protocol. Such protection was completely abolished upon the chronic protocol. Interestingly, pulmonary fibrosis observed in wild-type mice under the chronic protocol was completely absent in iNOS(-/-) mice despite persistent IL-5 and IL-13 production, suggesting that these cytokines were insufficient for pulmonary fibrosis. Such protection was associated with reduced collagen synthesis and indirect but severe TGF-beta modulation as confirmed using primary lung smooth muscle cells. Although activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2/-9 exhibited little change, the large tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) increase detected in wild-type mice was absent in the iNOS(-/-) counterparts. The regulatory effect of iNOS on TIMP-2 may be mediated by peroxynitrite, as the latter reversed TIMP-2 expression in iNOS(-/-) lung smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, suggesting that the iNOS-TIMP-2 link may explain the protective effect of iNOS-knockout against pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of lung sections from chronically OVA-exposed iNOS(-/-) mice revealed evidence of residual but significant protein nitration, prevalent oxidative DNA damage, and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 activation. Such tissue damage, inflammatory cell recruitment, and mucus hypersecretion may be associated with substantial arginase expression and activity. The results in this study exemplify the complexity of the role of iNOS in asthma and the preservation of its potential as a therapeutic a target.
