Sickle cell disease of transgenic SAD mice.
Erythrocyte sickling on deoxygenation in vitro occurs in transgenic SAD mice, hemizygous for a modified human sickle hemoglobin, HbSAD [alpha 2 beta 2S(beta 6val)Antilles (beta 23 lle)D- Punjab (beta 121Gln)] (SAD-1, 19% HbSAD; beta-thal/SAD-1, 26% HbSAD). The present study examines the cellular defects in vivo and pathologic changes observed in SAD-1 mice at atmospheric oxygenation as well as ...
متن کاملUrinary Bladder Dysfunction in Transgenic Sickle Cell Disease Mice
BACKGROUND Urological complications associated with sickle cell disease (SCD), include nocturia, enuresis, urinary infections and urinary incontinence. However, scientific evidence to ascertain the underlying cause of the lower urinary tract symptoms in SCD is lacking. OBJECTIVE Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate urinary function, in vivo and ex vivo, in the Berkeley SCD murine model...
متن کاملHypoxia/reoxygenation causes inflammatory response in transgenic sickle mice but not in normal mice.
In sickle cell anemia, the initiation, progression, and resolution of a vasoocclusive episode may present features of ischemia-reperfusion injury, with recurrent episodes of ischemia/hypoxia and reoxygenation promoting inflammation. Here, we have tested the hypothesis that hypoxia/reoxygenation triggers inflammation in the transgenic sickle mouse. In these mice, even at ambient air, peripheral ...
متن کاملGene Expression Profiling in Lungs of Chronic Asthmatic Mice Treated with Galectin-3: Downregulation of Inflammatory and Regulatory Genes
BACKGROUND Asthma is a disorder characterized by a predominance of Th2 cells and eosinophilic inflammation. Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins act as negative regulators of cytokine signaling. In particular, SOCS1 and SOCS3 play an important role in immune response by controlling the balance between Th1 and Th2 cells. In a previous study, we demonstrated that treatment of chronic...
متن کاملMechanical properties of oxygenated red blood cells in sickle cell (HbSS) disease.
Little data exist for the mechanical properties of individual irreversible or reversible sickle cells (ISC and RSC, respectively), nor is the process of ISC formation well understood. For oxygenated ISC and density-fractionated RSC, we have used micropipette techniques to measure cell surface area (SA) and volume (V), membrane shear elastic modulus (mu), time constant for viscoelastic shape rec...
