Thymic nurse cells forming a dynamic microenvironment in spontaneous thymoma BUF/Mna rats.
Thymic nurse cells (TNCs) were studied using an animal model, BUF/Mna rats, which spontaneously develop benign thymomas of epithelial origin with age. The unusual increment and high availability of TNCs in this thymus enabled us to analyze TNCs directly either in tissue sections or on smears after enzymatic isolation. No structural or phenotypical abnormality in these TNCs was detected as asses...
متن کاملCentral apelin mediates stress-induced gastrointestinal motor dysfunction in rats.
Apelin, an endogenous ligand for APJ receptor, has been reported to be upregulated in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) following stress. Central apelin is known to stimulate release of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) via APJ receptor. We tested the hypothesis that stress-induced gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is mediated by central apelin. We also assessed the effect of exogenous apelin on...
متن کاملSpontaneous Thymoma in a 10-Week-Old Sprague-Dawley Rat
Spontaneous thymoma was found in the left lobe of the thymus of a male 10-week-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat. Microscopically, the thymic mass showed a sheet of dark area with multiple pale foci. The dark area mainly consisted of densely compacted small lymphoid cells with sporadic large epithelioid cells and mitotic figures. The epithelioid cells and mitotic figures were more frequent than those...
متن کاملInvolvement of the P2X7 Purinergic Receptor in Colonic Motor Dysfunction Associated with Bowel Inflammation in Rats
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent evidence indicates an involvement of P2X7 purinergic receptor (P2X7R) in the fine tuning of immune functions, as well as in driving enteric neuron apoptosis under intestinal inflammation. However, the participation of this receptor in the regulation of enteric neuromuscular functions remains undetermined. This study was aimed at investigating the role of P2X7Rs in ...
متن کاملOxidative inactivation of nitric oxide and endothelial dysfunction in stroke-prone spontaneous hypertensive rats.
This study tested the hypothesis that increased nitric oxide (NO) inactivation and concurrent peroxynitrite formation is responsible for endothelial dysfunction in the spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rat (SHRSP). In SHRSP, the aortic vasorelaxation to acetylcholine (ACh) was decreased (p < 0.05), but NO production was unchanged. Nitrotyrosine staining, a footprint of peroxynitrite (ONOO...
