Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLoss of Morphine-induced Suppression of NK Cell activity and T-cell Functions in µ-Opioid Receptor Knockout MiceRichard J. Weber, Ricardo Gomez-Flores, Ichiro Sora, George R. UhlIn vivo administration of µ-opioid receptor selective agonists to various species is known to suppress lymphocyte, NK cell, and macrophage functions, in addition to mediate pain relief and euphoria. Using a mouse model in which the µ-opioid receptor gene was disrupted by targeted homologous recombination, we explored the involvement of this receptor in natural killer (NK) cell activity and T … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCreation of Tetracycline Regulatable Knockouts of ORFF Gene from the LD1 Locus of Leishmania donovaniBindu Sukumaran, Manju Jain, Peter J. Myler et al.The tetracycline repressor/operator system was adapted for use in Leishmania donovani. In order to investigate the possible importance and function of open reading frame F (ORFF) in Leishmania donovani strain AG83 that has a single copy of ORFF in the LD1 locus on chromosome 35, we have attempted to generate tetracycline regulatable single allele mutants of ORFF. Leishmania cells expressing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDietary supplementation with Cyperus esculentus L (tiger nut) tubers attenuated atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E knockout mouse associated with inhibition of inflammatory cell responsesMohamed L. Salem, Mohsen Zommara, K. ImaizumiAtherosclerosis is a pathological process, where recruitment of mononuclear cells results in the growth of fibro-fatty plaques. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a legend for the uptake of lipoproteins, and deficiency of ApoE leads to the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein. Utilizing ApoE-/- mouse, which spontaneously develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets, the present study showed that feeding these mice on a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,471 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOverview of the Most Popular Currently Used Murine Models of AtherosclerosisAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Victoria Alexandrovna Khotina, Alexandra Alexandrovna Melnichenko et al.Atherosclerosis is a widespread and serious problem. Every year it causes a huge number of deaths and morbidity. Many aspects of this disease remain not fully understood, which indicates the need to search for the most representative model of atherosclerosis in animal and cell culture models. Animal models resembling the pathophysiology in humans are needed to study the immunometabolic mechanisms … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 4 Jan 2024 · 4,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Dynamic of Afamin and Alpha-Fetoprotein Expression during Rat Liver DevelopmentIndriyani, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Puspita Eka Wuyung et al.Liver has a high level of Alpha-fetoprotein which is assumed to be important for mammalian development. However, Alpha-fetoprotein knockout studies in mice suggested that despite the absence of Alpha-fetoprotein, mice developed normally; the only abnormality observed was infertility in female mice. There are indications that Afamin, a protein that has a gene sequence located on the same chromosome as Alpha-fetoprotein, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2021 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKnock Down of Erythrulose Kinase (eyk1) Leads to the Enhancement of Erythritol Production in Yarrowia lipolytica Mutant Strain YE4-2Xinhe Zhao, Tianlong Huang, Yaxin Zhang et al.Erythritol is a nearly zero-calorie sweetener, which is in great demand in food and health care industry. Our previous work obtained a Yarrowia lipolytica mutant strain YE4-2 with high erythritol yield. However, its conversion rate of glucose needs further improvement. Erythrulose kinase (eyk1) participates in the early stages of erythritol catabolism; the existence of eyk1 prevents the accumulation of erythritol. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractCRISPR-CAS SYSTEM: A FEASIBLE SOLUTION FOR GETTING RID OF PERSISTENT VIRAL INFECTION?Zhaohua ZhongMany viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses, can persistently replicate in the infected cells and cause a prolonged damage. Herpes viruses can be latent in its host cells. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) reversely transcripts its RNA genome to DNA and integrates to the host’s chromosome. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) persistently stay in the host cells … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 10 Nov 2014 · 12,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Role of PKCδ in Apoptosis Induction of Mouse ThymocytesC. Lutz-Nicoladoni, T. Letschka, M. Leitges et al.The family of protein kinases C (PKCs) has been implicated in signal transmission leading to apoptosis induction and/or survival. These effects are cell type and tissue dependent. Numerous studies employing phorbol ester, a pleiotropic PKC activator, strongly implicated PKC in apoptosis induction of thymocytes. However, phorbol esters activate both, the conventional PKCs (PKCα, β, γ) as well as the novel … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
