Regulation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase expression in simian immunodeficiency virus-infected monkey brains.
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1-associated cognitive-motor disorder, including the AIDS dementia complex, is characterized by brain functional abnormalities that are associated with injury initiated by viral infection of the brain. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tryptophan catabolism in extrahepatic tissues, can lead to neurotoxicity through the...
متن کاملLentiviral infection of rhesus macaques causes long-term injury to cortical and hippocampal projections of prostaglandin-expressing cholinergic basal forebrain neurons.
The simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) macaque model resembles human immunodeficiency virus-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and associated brain dysfunction. Altered expression of synaptic markers and transmitters in neuro-AIDS has been reported, but limited data exist for the cholinergic system and lipid mediators such as prostaglandins. Here, we analyzed cholinergic basal forebrain...
متن کاملRole of Local Nerves and Prostaglandins in Regulation of Basal Blood Flow and Hypercapnic Vasodilatation of Cerebral Blood Vessels in the Rabbit
The mechanisms underlying cerebral vasodilatation during hypercapnia are not fully understood. To examine the role of nerves and prostaglandins in the regulation of basal blood flow and in hypercapnia-induced vasodilatation in the cerebral blood vessels of rabbit.Cerebral blood flow was measured by laser Doppler flow-meter in 18 NZW rabbits anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. Tetrodetoxin ...
متن کاملRole of Nitric Oxide and ATP-Sensitive K+ Channels in Regulation of Basal Blood Flow and Hypercapnic Vasodilatation of Cerebral Blood Vessels in Rabbit
Background: The mechanisms underlying cerebral hypercapnic vasodilatation are not fully understood. Objective: To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) and ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in basal blood flow regulation and hypercapnia-induced vasodilatation in rabbit cerebral blood vessels. Methods: The change in cerebral blood flow was measured by a laser Doppler flowmeter in 18 Ne...
متن کاملImmunological changes in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV(agm))-infected African green monkeys (AGM): expanded cytotoxic T lymphocyte, natural killer and B cell subsets in the natural host of SIV(agm).
The African green monkey (AGM) model system for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV(agm)) has been used to examine why prolonged infection with the relevant virus does not result in the development of immunodeficiency in its natural host. Blood lymphocyte subset values were determined in uninfected (n=88) and naturally SIV(agm)-infected AGMs (n=74). A number of blood cell subsets, such as CD8alp...
