PRELIMINARY COMMUNICATION EXPRESION OF PROENKEPHALIN (PENK) mRNA IN INFLAMMATORY LEUKOCYTES DURING EXPERIMENTAL PERITONITIS IN SWISS MICE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zymosanor thioglycollate-induced experimental peritoneal inflammation in mice may serve as a convenient model for investigations of involvement of opioid peptides derived from exudatory leukocytes in the inflammatory processes. During peritonitis, the influx of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages correlated with a sequential appearance of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 and TNF ). After both kinds of stimulation, the expression of PENK mRNA was much higher in exudatory peritoneal leukocytes than its basal level in steady state.

متن کاملMast cells are responsible for the lack of anti-inflammatory effects of morphine in CBA mice.
BACKGROUND AND AIM Morphine co-injection has anti-inflammatory effects on zymosan-induced peritonitis in several strains of mice except that of CBA. As peritoneal mast cells (pMCs) are much more numerous in CBA mice than in SWISS mice, therole of pMCs in morphine-modulated zymosan peritonitis is compared in CBA and SWISS males. METHODS pMCs were treated in vitro with morphine or C48/80 for co...
متن کاملMet-Enkephalin Involvement in Morphine-Modulated Peritonitis in Swiss Mice
Morphine coinjection with zymosan inhibits pain and leukocyte accumulation during peritonitis in several strains of mice, and affects systems of endogenous opioids. Present investigations focus on Met-enkephalin (Met-ENK) in the inflamed peritoneal cavity and brain centers of Swiss mice. Males of Swiss mice were IP injected with zymosan or zymosan supplemented with morphine. At the selected tim...
متن کاملShort Communication opposite Effects of Mast Cell Degranulation by Compound 48/80 on Peritoneal Inflammation in Swiss and Cba Mice
The murine strains differ in the number of peritoneal mast cells. Degranulation of peritoneal mast cells by single injection of compound 48/80 (1.2 mg/kg) followed by zymosan-induced (2 mg/ml, 0.5 ml/mouse) peritoneal inflammation caused either inhibition or enhancement of an early influx (at 4 h of peritonitis) of exudatory leukocytes in Swiss and CBA mice, respectively. These opposite effects...
