Behavioral Changes in Mice Lacking Interleukin-33
Interleukin (IL)-33 is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines. IL-33 is expressed in nuclei and secreted as alarmin upon cellular damage to deliver a danger signal to the surrounding cells. Previous studies showed that IL-33 is expressed in the brain and that it is involved in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes in both humans and rodents. Nevertheless, the role of IL-33 in phys...
متن کاملBehavioral characterization of mice lacking Trek channels
Two-pore domain K(+) (K(2P)) channels are thought to underlie background K(+) conductance in many cell types. The Trek subfamily of K(2P) channels consists of three members, Trek1/Kcnk2, Trek2/Kcnk10, and Traak/Kcnk4, all three of which are expressed in the rodent CNS. Constitutive ablation of the Trek1 gene in mice correlates with enhanced sensitivity to ischemia and epilepsy, decreased sensit...
متن کاملBehavioral and electromyographic characterization of mice lacking EphA4 receptors.
EphA4 receptors play an important role in axon guidance during development. Disrupting the expression of these receptors in mice has been shown to modify neuronal connections in the spinal cord and results in the production of a characteristic hopping gait. The EphA4-null mouse has been used in numerous investigations aimed at establishing mechanisms responsible for patterning motor activity du...
متن کاملBehavioral characterization of mice lacking histamine H(3) receptors.
Brain histamine H(3) receptors are predominantly presynaptic and serve an important autoregulatory function for the release of histamine and other neurotransmitters. They have been implicated in a variety of brain functions, including arousal, locomotor activity, thermoregulation, food intake, and memory. The recent cloning of the H(3) receptor in our laboratory has made it possible to create a...
متن کاملHematopoiesis in mice lacking the entire granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor/interleukin-3/interleukin-5 functions.
Interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and IL-5 are major hematopoietic cytokines produced by activated T cells and exhibit similar biologic activities by signaling through a common receptor subunit (beta c). Mice lacking beta c show a pulmonary alveolar proteinosis-like disease and reduced numbers of peripheral eosinophils, which are explained by the l...
