Résumé

To examine the role of nitric oxide (NO) in murine AIDS (MAIDS) pathogenesis, we determined NO production and inducible NOS (iNOS) mRNA expression in the macrophages of LP-BM5-infected mice, together with the in vivo effects of L-NAME, a competitive inhibitor of NO synthase. LP-BM5 infection induced neither spontaneous nitrite production nor iNOS mRNA expression. No differences in IFN gamma + LPS-induced nitrite production or iNOS mRNA expression were observed in macrophages, from non-infected or infected mice. Spleen weight, ecotropic MuLV replication, the blood lymphocyte phenotype and proliferative response of splenocytes were not modified by L-NAME. LP-BM5 infection did not increase macrophage NO production and NO production did not appear to protect against LP-BM5-induced immunodeficiency.
