Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive brain tumor, characterized by the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels and a permeable endothelial barrier. S-nitrosylation, a post-translational modification, has been identified as a regulator of endothelial function. In this work we explored whether S-nitrosylation induced by glioblastoma tumors regulates the endothelial function. As proof of concept, we observed that S-nitrosylation is present in the tumoral microenvironment of glioblastoma in two different animal models. Subsequently, we measured S nitrosylation and microvascular permeability in EAhy296 endothelial cells and in cremaster muscle.  In vitro , conditioned medium from the human glioblastoma cell line U87 activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase, causes VE-cadherin- S-nitrosylation and induces hyperpermeability. Blocking Interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the conditioned medium inhibited S-nitrosylation of VE-cadherin and hyperpermeability. Recombinant IL-8 increased endothelial permeability by activating eNOS, S-nitrosylation of VE-cadherin and p120, internalization of VE-cadherin and disassembly of adherens junctions.  In vivo , IL-8 induced S-nitrosylation of VE-cadherin and p120 and conditioned medium from U87 cells caused hyperpermeability in the mouse cremaster muscle. We conclude that eNOS signaling induced by glioma cells-secreted IL-8 regulates endothelial barrier function in the context of glioblastoma involving S-nitrosylation of VE-cadherin and p120. Our results suggest that inhibiting S-nitrosylation may be an effective way to control and/or block damage to the endothelial barrier and prevent cancer progression.
