Glomerulonephritis and autoimmune vasculitis are independent of P2RX7 but may depend on alternative inflammasome pathways

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, Volume 257, Issue 3, Page 300-313, July 2022., 2022
Abstract P2RX7, an ionotropic receptor for extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is expressed on immune cells, including macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells and is upregulated on nonimmune cells following injury. P2RX7 plays a role in many biological processes, including production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)‐1β ...

Lewis, Fischer 344, and Sprague-Dawley rats display differences in lipid peroxidation, motor recovery, and rubrospinal tract preservation after spinal cord injury.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2015
The rat is the most common animal model for the preclinical validation of neuroprotective therapies in spinal cord injury (SCI). Lipid peroxidation (LP) is a hallmark of the damage triggered after SCI.

Identification of a nutrient-sensing transcriptional network in monocytes by using inbred rat models on a cafeteria diet

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Obesity has reached pandemic levels worldwide. The current models of diet-induced obesity in rodents use predominantly high-fat based diets that do not take into account the consumption of variety of highly palatable, energy-dense foods that are ...

Two inbred rat strains contrasting for anxiety-related behaviors show similar levels of defensive responses to cat odor

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2007
Rodents are known to display fear-related responses when exposed to the odor of natural predators, such as cats, even when they are totally naïve to these stimuli.

Decreased production of TNF-alpha by lymph node cells indicates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis remission in Lewis rats

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2010
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is mediated by CD4+ Th1 cells that mainly secrete IFN-γ and TNF-α, important cytokines in the pathophysiology of the disease.

Zinc-finger nuclease mediated disruption of Rag1 in the LEW/Ztm rat

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2012
Background Engineered zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN) represented an innovative method for the genome manipulation in vertebrates. ZFN introduced targeted DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and initiated non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) after pronuclear or ...

Ribonuclease (RNase) Prolongs Survival of Grafts in Experimental Heart Transplantation

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundCell damage, tissue and vascular injury are associated with the exposure and release of intracellular components such as RNA, which promote inflammatory reactions and thrombosis. Based on the counteracting anti‐inflammatory and cardioprotective

Modulation of hepatic perfusion did not improve recovery from hepatic outflow obstruction

open access: yesBMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2017
Background Focal hepatic venous outflow obstruction frequently occurs after extended liver resection and leads to a portal hypertension, arterial hypoperfusion and parenchymal necrosis.

Maternal Provisioning of Offspring With Defence Chemicals in a Facultatively Parthenogenetic Stick Insect

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
We show that females of the stick‐insect Megacrania batesii transfer defensive alkaloids to their offspring, providing a novel example of maternal provisioning. We also provide evidence that provisioning is enhanced by parthenogenetic reproduction in this species.

Effects of the in vivo treatment of radioactive implant-induced skin wounds with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs)

open access: yesNowotwory
INTRODUCTION: Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) play a crucial role in healing skin wounds causedby radiation. Herein is demonstrated a patented, novel radioactive implant designed for research on the effectsof radiation and the wound ...
