Lung-targeted VEGF inactivation leads to an emphysema phenotype in mice.
To test the hypothesis that VEGF is important for the maintenance of alveolar structure and elastic properties in adult mice, lung-targeted ablation of the VEGF gene was accomplished through intratracheal delivery of an adeno-associated cre recombinase virus (AAV/Cre) to VEGFloxP mice, and the effects were followed for 8 wk. Control mice were similarly treated with AAV/Cre. Pulmonary VEGF level...
متن کاملDeletion of CUL4B leads to concordant phenotype in a monozygotic twin pair.
To the Editor : In 2007, two independent groups found that mutations in the cullin 4B (CUL4B ) gene were associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) (1, 2). CUL4B encodes cullin 4B, a scaffold protein which forms a complex that functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase (3). The symptoms of the patients include mental retardation (MR), short stature, small testes, muscle wasting, and tremor (OM...
متن کاملCuZn - superoxide dismutase ( CuZnSOD ) transgenic mice show
_, We have used female and male transgenic (Tg) mice that carry the complete sequence of the human copper-zinc (CuZn) , superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene in order to assess the lethal effects of methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and methylene,_ im dioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). In contrast to non-Tg mice, both heterozygous and homozygous SOD-Tg mice showed resistance to the lethal effects of both dru...
متن کاملThe Lack of CuZnSOD Leads to Impaired Neurotransmitter Release, Neuromuscular Junction Destabilization and Reduced Muscle Strength in Mice
Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ROS-dependent protein damage is a common observation in the pathogenesis of many muscle wasting disorders, including sarcopenia. However, the contribution of elevated ROS levels to -a breakdown in neuromuscular communication and muscle atrophy remains unknown. In this study, we examined a copper zinc superoxide dismutase [CuZnSOD (Sod1)] kno...
متن کاملDeletion of GSK-3beta in mice leads to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy secondary to cardiomyoblast hyperproliferation.
Based on extensive preclinical data, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) has been proposed to be a viable drug target for a wide variety of disease states, ranging from diabetes to bipolar disorder. Since these new drugs, which will be more powerful GSK-3 inhibitors than lithium, may potentially be given to women of childbearing potential, and since it has controversially been suggested that lit...
