    摘要: Inhibition of nerve growth normally helps to prevent aberrant pathway or target selection, but also prevents needed regeneration in the mammalian central nervous system. The responsible inhibitory ligands are unknown, but pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins, which are enriched in growth cones, appear to be involved in causing the responding growth cones to collapse. GAP-43 is an intracellular protein that can amplify the response to the stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors. We have attempted to modify the sensitivity of nerves to inhibitory signals by the use of GAP-43 peptides. The peptide corresponding to the native amino terminus sequence stimulates G.sub.o and enhances the growth cone collapse induced by inhibitory ligands. Modification of two critical cysteines generates peptides which inhibit G.sub.o and which markedly reduce the degree of inhibitor-mediated growth cone collapse.

    摘要: This invention relates to transgenic non-human animals comprising a disrupted endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene. These animals exhibit abnormal wound-healing properties and hypertension. This invention also relates to methods of using the transgenic animals to screen for compounds having a potential therapeutic utility for vascular endothelial disorders, such as hypertension, cerebral ischemia or stroke, atherosclerosis and wound-healing activities. Moreover, this invention also relates to methods of treating a patient suffering from hypertension and wound-healing abnormalities with the compounds identified using the transgenic animals, and methods of making the transgenic animals. A method of treating a wound using nitroglycerin is also provided.
