About This Grant

PROJECT SUMMARY Nitric oxide (NO) is the focus of intense research primarily because of its wide-ranging roles in human physiology and disease. The rising interest in NO research demands analytical techniques that can accurately and precisely quantify NO concentrations and production rates in vivo. The objective of this project is to design, fabricate and study the analytical performance of a needle-type NO sensor in a swine model as a function of diabetes disease state. Implantable NO sensors with robust performance characteristics will allow the ability to probe how diabetes disease state influences NO levels, which will guide future diagnostics and management of the disease. To establish this notion, we will subcutaneously implant the NO sensors for acute periods (<7 d) in swine to quantify basal NO levels in tissue as a function of disease state (i.e., healthy vs. diabetic). Additionally, we will ascertain the best practices for calibrating such devices in vivo while also establishing the use of light (e.g., wavelength, intensity, duration) to access and quantify the available NO reservoirs (e.g., S-nitrosothiols) found in tissue which liberates NO through the breakdown of S- nitrosothiols (e.g., S-nitrosoglutathione, S-nitrosocysteine, S-nitrosoalbumin). The new knowledge generated by this research may someday facilitate improved diabetes diagnostics and management by establishing the influence of basal NO levels within tissue on favorable wound healing, for example. However, implantable NO microsensor technologies may prove useful in other biomedical applications as well, including oncological, chronic inflammation, and infections.
