Loss of fibula in mice overexpressing Hoxc11
This study demonstrates severe malformations of the appendicular skeleton in mice overexpressing Hoxc11. Consistent with the endogenous expression pattern, the most conspicuous defect in Hoxc11 overexpressing neonates is aplasia/hypoplasia of the fibula. This is preceded at day 15.5 of embryonic development by marked reduction of chondrocyte proliferation, lack of PTHR expressing prehypertrophi...
متن کاملGalanin overexpressing transgenic mice.
Galanin overexpressing transgenic mice (GAL-tg) were generated on two different promoters. Both lines of GAL-tg displayed high levels of galanin in the hippocampus and reduced sensitivity to seizures, as compared to their respective wildtype littermate controls (WT). Performance deficits on learning and memory tasks, impaired long-term potentiation, reduced hippocampal excitability, lower evoke...
متن کاملLoss of myocardial protection against myocardial infarction in middle-aged transgenic mice overexpressing cardiac thioredoxin-1
Thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Given that the age at which the first episode of coronary disease takes place has considerably decreased, life at middle-aged (MA) emerges as a new field of study. The aim was determine whether infarct size, Trx1 expression and activity, Akt and GSK-3β were altered in young (Y) and MA mice overexpressing cardiac Trx...
متن کاملOral N-Acetyl-Cysteine Attenuates Loss of Dopaminergic Terminals in α-Synuclein Overexpressing Mice
Levels of glutathione are lower in the substantia nigra (SN) early in Parkinson's disease (PD) and this may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress may increase the accumulation of toxic forms of alpha-synuclein (SNCA). We hypothesized that supplementation with n-acetylcysteine (NAC), a source of cysteine--the limiting amino acid in glutathione synthesis, ...
متن کاملTransplantation of mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing RANK-Fc or CXCR4 prevents bone loss in ovariectomized mice.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fracture. We studied the effects of transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) overexpressing receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (RANK)-Fc and CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) using retrovirus on ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss in mice. Ten-week-old adult fem...
