Role of Nitric Oxide Isoforms in Vascular and Alveolar Development and Lung Injury in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Overexpressing Neonatal Mice Lungs.

The role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced 3 different nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms in lung development and injury in the newborn (NB) lung are not known.We hypothesized that VEGF-induced specific NOS pathways are critical regulators of lung development and injury.We studied NB wild type (WT), lung epithelial cell-targete
