Inhibition of nischarin expression attenuates rilmenidine-evoked hypotension and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 production in the rostral ventrolateral medulla of rats.
Imidazoline (I(1))-evoked hypotension is linked to enhanced phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK)1/2 production in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). Recent cell culture findings suggest that nischarin is a candidate for the I(1) receptor. In the present study, nischarin antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) (AS1 or AS2), designed according to nischarin cDNA sequence...
متن کاملChronic lesion of rostral ventrolateral medulla in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
We studied the effects of chronic selective neuronal lesion of rostral ventrolateral medulla on mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and neurogenic tone in conscious, unrestrained spontaneously hypertensive rats. The lesions were placed via bilateral microinjections of 30 nmol/200 nl N-methyl-D-aspartic acid. The restimulation of this area with N-methyl-D-aspartic acid 15 days postlesion failed ...
متن کاملInhibition of baroreflex vagal bradycardia by activation of the rostral ventrolateral medulla in rats.
In stressful conditions, baroreflex vagal bradycardia (BVB) is often suppressed while blood pressure is increased. To address the role of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL), a principal source of sympathetic tone, in inhibition of BVB, we microinjected DL-homocysteic acid (DLH, 6 nmol) into the RVL of chloralose-urethan-anesthetized, sinoaortic-denervated rats to examine the effect on BVB....
متن کاملExpression of the interleukin-21 and phosphorylated extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 in Kimura disease
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expressions of interleukin (IL)-21 and phosphorylated extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) in Kimura disease (KD) and to correlate the findings with clinical and prognostic variables. METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis of IL-21 and pERK1/2 was performed in 18 cases of KD and five gender- and age-matched control samples. Clinical data were extracte...
متن کاملEnhanced hemeoxygenase activity in the rostral ventrolateral medulla mediates exaggerated hemin-evoked hypotension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
In anesthetized normotensive rats, activation of brainstem hemeoxygenase (HO) elicits sympathoinhibition and hypotension. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that attenuated basal or induced HO activity in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) contributes to hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). We measured basal RVLM HO expression and catalytic activity and investigate...
