PTGS-2–PTGER2/4 Signaling Pathway Partially Protects From Diabetogenic Toxicity of Streptozotocin in Mice
Prostanoids are suggested to participate in diabetes pathology, but their roles are controversially discussed. The purpose of the current study was to examine the role of cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin synthase [PTGS]) enzymes and prostaglandin (PG) E(2) signaling pathways in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes. Blood glucose, insulin, and survival rate were studied in mice with targete...
متن کاملGenetic disruption of Ptgs-1, as well as Ptgs-2, reduces intestinal tumorigenesis in Min mice.
Two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) are known, and to date most studies have implicated COX-2, rather than COX-1, as the isoform involved in colon carcinogenesis. In the present study, we show that homologous disruption of either Ptgs-1 or Ptgs-2 (genes coding for COX-1 or COX-2, respectively) reduced polyp formation in Min/+ mice by approximately 80%. Only COX-1 protein was immunohistochemica...
متن کاملDimethyl itaconate protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced endometritis by inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB and activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in mice
Objective(s): Endometritis is the inflammation of the uterine lining that is associated with infertility. It affects milk production and reproductive performance and leads to huge economic losses in dairy cows. Dimethyl itaconate (DI), a promising chemical agent, has recently been proved to have multiple health-promoting effects. However, the effects of DI on endometri...
متن کاملHydroalcoholic extract of Iranian Caper leaves protects hepatic toxicity by suppressing oxidative stress in mice
Capparis spinosa L. (Caper) is known as an aromatic plant, commonly used in Mediterranean diet, possessing numerous antioxidant compounds such as phenols, rutin, tocopherols, carotenoids, and vitamin C in its leaves. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of Iranian Caper leaves extract on oxidative stress caused by CCl4 in mice liver. In this study, a total numbe...
متن کاملCNTF protects oligodendrocytes from ammonia toxicity: intracellular signaling pathways involved.
In pediatric patients, hyperammonemia can provoke irreversible damages to developing CNS like cortical atrophy, ventricular enlargement, demyelination or gray and white matter hypodensities which are concordant with alterations of neurons and oligodendrocytes. Cerebral injury triggers endogenous protective mechanisms that can prevent or limit brain damage. Understanding these mechanisms may lea...
