Resistance of transgenic mice expressing human group II phospholipase A2 to Escherichia coli infection.
Group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a newly recognized antibacterial acute-phase protein. Recently we observed that transgenic mice expressing group II PLA2 (PLA2(+) mice) were able to resist experimental Staphylococcus aureus infection by killing the bacteria, as indicated by improved survival and by the small numbers of live bacteria in their tissues (V. J. O. Laine, D. S. Grass, and T. J. Ne...
متن کاملA double transgenic mouse model expressing human pregnane X receptor and cytochrome P450 3A4.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), the most abundant human cytochrome P450 in liver, participates in the metabolism of approximately 50% of clinically used drugs. The pregnane X receptor (PXR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is the major activator of CYP3A4 transcription. However, because of species differences in response to PXR ligands, it is problematic to use rodents to assess CYP...
متن کاملGeneration and Characterization of Mice Expressing a Conditional Allele of the Interleukin-1 Receptor Type 1
The cytokines IL-1α and IL-1β exert powerful pro-inflammatory actions throughout the body, mediated primarily by the intracellular signaling capacity of the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R1). Although Il1r1 knockout mice have been informative with respect to a requirement for IL-1R1 signaling in inflammatory events, the constitutive nature of gene elimination has limited their utility in the asse...
متن کاملEstablishment of a conditional transgenic mouse model expressing human uncoupling protein 2 in vascular smooth muscle cells
Increased oxidative stress is involved in the development of vascular dysfunction and remodeling. Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) regulates the production of reactive oxygen species in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). To promote the study of the role of UCP2 in vascular diseases, a transgenic mouse model expressing human UCP2 (hUCP2) in vascular SMCs was established. We constructed a plasmid ca...
متن کاملRole of group II secretory phospholipase A2 in atherosclerosis: 1. Increased atherogenesis and altered lipoproteins in transgenic mice expressing group IIa phospholipase A2.
Some observations have suggested that the extracellular group IIa phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), previously implicated in chronic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, may contribute to atherosclerosis. We have examined this hypothesis by studying transgenic mice expressing the human enzyme. Compared with nontransgenic littermates, the transgenic mice exhibited dramatically increased atheroscle...
