Zika virus causes testicular atrophy
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that has recently been found to cause fetal infection and neonatal abnormalities, including microcephaly and neurological dysfunction. ZIKV persists in the semen months after the acute viremic phase in humans. To further understand the consequences of ZIKV persistence in males, we infected Ifnar1-/- mice via subcutaneous injection of a ...
متن کاملConditional activation of Pax6 in the developing cortex of transgenic mice causes progenitor apoptosis.
During development, Pax6 is expressed in a rostrolateral-high to caudomedial-low gradient in the majority of the cortical radial glial progenitors and endows them with neurogenic properties. Using a Cre/loxP-based approach, we studied the effect of conditional activation of two Pax6 isoforms, Pax6 and Pax6-5a, on the corticogenesis of transgenic mice. We found that activation of either Pax6 or ...
متن کاملMuscle atrophy in transgenic mice expressing a human TSC1 transgene.
Muscle mass is regulated by a wide range of hormonal and nutritional signals, such as insulin and IGF. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an inherited hamartoma disease with tumor growth in numerous organs. TSC is caused by mutation in either TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor genes that negatively regulate insulin-induced S6K activation and cell growth. Here we report that expression of human TSC1...
متن کاملConditional and targeted overexpression of vascular chymase causes hypertension in transgenic mice.
We cloned a rat vascular chymase (RVCH) from smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that converts angiotensin I to II and is up-regulated in SMC from spontaneously hypertensive vs. normotensive rats. To determine whether increased activity of RVCH is sufficient to cause hypertension, transgenic mice were generated with targeted conditional expression of RVCH to SMC, with the use of the tetracycline-control...
متن کاملSquid ink polysaccharide reduces cyclophosphamide-induced testicular damage via Nrf2/ARE activation pathway in mice
Objective(s):Cyclophosphamide (CP) toxicity on testis was hampered by squid ink polysaccharide (SIP) via restoration of antioxidant ability in our previous investigations. This study investigated roles of Nrf2/ARE signal pathway in testis of treated mice. Materials and Methods: Male Kunming mice were employed to undergo treatment with SIP and/or CP. Protein levels of Nrf2, keap-1, histone deac...
