Ezrin Is Highly Expressed in Early Thymocytes, but Dispensable for T Cell Development in Mice
BACKGROUND Ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) proteins are highly homologous proteins that function to link cargo molecules to the actin cytoskeleton. Ezrin and moesin are both expressed in mature lymphocytes, where they play overlapping roles in cell signaling and polarity, but their role in lymphoid development has not been explored. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We characterized ERM protein expre...
متن کاملAberrant Development of Thymocytes in Mice Lacking Laminin-2
In previous in vitro studies, we proposed a role for the extracellular matrix component, laminin-2, and its integrin receptor, VLA-6, in thymocyte development. The characterization of two dystrophic mouse strains with different defects in laminin-2 allowed us to examine this proposal in vivo. Mice deficient in laminin-2, dy/dy, show a significant reduction in thymus size and number of thymocyte...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes of the olfactory bulb in manganese-treated mice.
The effect of manganese toxicity on the ultrastructure of the olfactory bulb was evaluated. Male albino mice were injected intraperitoneally with MnCl2 (5 mg/Kg/day) five days per week during nine weeks. The control group received NaCl (0.9%). The olfactory bulbs of five mice from each group were processed for transmission electron microscopy after 2, 4, 6 and 9 weeks of manganese treatment. On...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes in Bruch's membrane of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
PURPOSE To examine the histologic and ultrastructural changes in Bruch's membrane (BM) in apolipoprotein E deficient [ApoE(-)] mice in comparison with age-matched control animals. METHODS Two-month-old (group 1) and 8-month-old (group 2) normal control C57BL/6 mice and 2-month-old (group 3) and 8-month-old (group 4) ApoE(-) mice were studied. All groups of mice were fed a standard rodent diet...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes associated with dexamethasone-induced ocular hypertension in mice.
PURPOSE To determine whether dexamethasone (DEX)-induced ocular hypertension (OHT) in mice mimics the hallmarks of steroid-induced glaucoma (SIG) in humans, including reduced conventional outflow facility (C), increased extracellular matrix (ECM), and myofibroblasts within the outflow pathway. METHODS Osmotic mini-pumps were implanted subcutaneously into C57BL/6J mice for systemic delivery of...
