Extractions: The Nature of the Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor Our research includes studies on the mechanisms by which various vasodilators, both endothelium-dependent and independent, and near ultraviolet radiation produce relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Also, we are investigating whether the endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) is simply nitric oxide or a mixture of substances. In 1980, we reported that endothelial cells have an obligatory role in the relaxation of arteries by acetylcholine (ACh) and related muscarinic agonists, and that the relaxation results from the stimulation by the muscarinic agonist of the release from the endothelial calls of a very labile diffusible factor which acts on the adjacent smooth muscle cells to cause their relaxation. This factor was called the endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). Within a short time, a number of other endothelium-dependent vasodilators were found. EDRF released from endothelial cells was shown to activate soluble guanylyl cyclase in the smooth muscle cells, giving rise to an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which appeared to have a causal role in producing the relaxation. Although some very potent scavengers of EDRF, such as hemoglobin (Hb) and the superoxide anion (O ) were discovered, the chemical nature of EDRF eluded identification until 1986, when it was proposed independently by us and by one other investigator at an international conference that EDRF is nitric oxide (NO). Within two years after that, other laboratories had demonstrated that the NO synthesized in endothelial cells is a product of the action of a calcium/calmodulin dependent oxygenase, nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which oxidizes a guanidinium nitrogen of L-arginine to yield NO and citrulline (see Fig. 1).

I liked to read popular books about scientists, although there were not many available at that time. My father subscribed to the Sunday New York Times, in which there was often a column on science that I found very exciting. During the four years that I was in high school, my older brother Arthur was at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I wanted to attend college there also, but that was not possible when I finished high school in 1933 because tuition for me, as an out-of-state resident, was more than my father could afford at that time. So I spent my freshman year at the University of South Carolina , where my tuition was much less. However, by the summer of 1934, my father moved his business from Orangeburg to Goldsboro, N.C., where he felt that the local economy was better. So now, as a resident of North Carolina, I was able to register at the University at Chapel Hill as a sophomore majoring in chemistry.

Extractions: Dr. Robert F. Furchgott SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn Dr. Furchgott was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries concerning "nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system." In 1980, Dr. Furchgott published his discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), a mysterious chemical in the inner linings of the arteries that controls the arterys widening and narrowing. Six years later, he identified EDRF as nitric oxide. Dr. Furchgotts findings opened up a new area of research, which is contributing much to our understanding of cardiovascular physiology and is helping doctors save lives.

Extractions: S cientists build on each other's work. Furchgott, while studying the effects of drugs on blood vessels, discovered that blood vessels dilate when their surface cells (the endothelium) signal the muscle cells to relax, using a molecule he called "endothelium-derived relaxing factor" or EDRF. Murad noticed that nitroglycerin (which dilates blood vessels) releases the gas nitric oxide (NO) which relaxes the smooth muscles. Ignarro also analyzed EDRF and discovered at the same time as Furchgott that EDRF was truly NO. This was the first evidence that a gas may act as a signal molecule. NO has recently been found to be important in fighting infections, regulating blood pressure, and activating brain functions. For more information about their work, see www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1998/press.html "I think that my greatest pleasure has come from each first demonstration in my laboratory that experiments designed to test a new hypothesis developed to explain some earlier, often puzzling or paradoxical finding, have given results consistent with the hypothesis." Robert F. Furchgott, Les Prix Nobel, 1998 Robert F. Furchgott was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1916, with an innate interest in biology and science. He attended both the Universities of South and North Carolina and did his Ph.D. work at Northwestern University in Chicago. He worked at Cornell University Medical College on phosphates, Washington University in St. Louis on smooth muscles, and at Suny Medical Center in Brooklyn on the relaxation of blood vessels.

Northwestern and Cold Spring Harbor (1937-1940) Before I went to Chicago, I worked for two summer months in 1937 for Eastern Airlines at the Philadelphia airport - a job which my older brother Arthur, who was employed by that airline, helped me obtain. The job allowed me to save some money and also allowed me free air travel to Chicago. That helped a lot since my stipend as a teaching assistant at Northwestern was only $50 a month for a nine-month academic year. When I arrived in Chicago, it had already been arranged for me to share a room with two more advanced graduate students. Living in Chicago was quite a change from living in the Carolinas. When I would walk to work in the winter from our rooming house, which was about a mile from the medical school, the chill wind whipping in from Lake Michigan along Chicago Avenue was quite an experience for a Southern boy.
