This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of 8-Gingerol, a constituent extracted from ginger, on ALI after HS in rats. We established a fixed press hemorrhage model in SD rats, in which the HS rats were administered 15 or 30 mg/kg of 8-Gingerol by intraperitoneal injection before fluid resuscitation. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and TUNEL staining were performed to evaluate histopathological changes and cell apoptosis in lung tissues, respectively. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR and western blot were used to measure gene and protein expression. Pro-inflammatory cytokines were detected by ELISA kits. Immunofluorescence of myeloperoxidase was used to evaluate neutrophil infiltration. 8-Gingerol reduced pulmonary edema, alveolar wall thickness, and cell apoptosis in lung tissues of HS rats. Regarding inflammatory responses, 8-Gingerol attenuated neutrophil infiltration in lung tissues, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines in lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and decreased the levels of NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), PYD and CARD domain containing (ASC), and Cleaved-Caspase 1 (Asp296), p20 (Cleaved Caspase 1) in lung tissues. Additionally, 8-Gingerol ameliorated oxidative stress in lung tissues as evidenced by increased antioxidant indicators (SOD and GSH) and decreased production of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The therapeutic effects of 8-Gingerol were associated with the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways. These results support 8-Gingerol as a promising drug for the treatment of HS-induced ALI.","PeriodicalId":12102,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Animals","volume":" ","pages":"446-457"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534488/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141497536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Plaque Index (PLI), Gingival Index (GI), Probing pocket depth (PPD), and Bleeding on probing (BOP) were used for the periodontal examination. Representative teeth were also examined. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify Porphyromonas macacae in dental plaque. Multiple comparisons and regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between each age group and each oral examination index. Statistically significant differences were found between the age groups and periodontal examination index. Multiple regression analysis revealed that age was strongly correlated with each oral examination index. Based on these results, oral examinations of cynomolgus monkeys kept in the same environment confirmed an association between aging and periodontal disease severity. Monkeys at this facility are expected to serve as new experimental models for elucidating the mechanisms underlying the progression of age-related periodontal disease.","PeriodicalId":12102,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Animals","volume":" ","pages":"390-398"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534493/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141175181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A one-time intraperitoneal injection of 2.6 mg/kg of TMT was given to mice in TMT groups. Vehicle (veh), BSS 50 mg/kg or BSS 100 mg/kg were orally given for 2 weeks. Spatial learning and memory were evaluated. Brain oxidative status, hippocampal neuropathology, and reactive astrocytes were done. White matter pathology was also evaluated. The results indicated the massy effect of TMT on induced motor ability and spatial memory deficits in accordance with increased neuronal degeneration in Cornus ammonis (CA) 1, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) and internal capsule white matter damage. TMT also induced the reduction of reactive astrocytes in CA1 and DG. Brain's catalase activity was significantly reduced by TMT, but not in mice with BSS treatments. Both doses of BSS treatment exhibited improvement in motor ability and spatial memory deficits in accordance with the activation of reactive astrocytes in CA1, CA3, and DG. However, they successfully prevented the increase of neuronal degeneration in CA1 found only with the BSS dose of 100 mg/kg, and it was indicated as the effective dose for neuroprotection in the vulnerable brain area. This study demonstrated mitigative effects of BSS against motor ability and memory deficits with neural health benefits, including a protective effect against CA1 neurodegeneration and a nurturing effect on hippocampal reactive astrocytes.","PeriodicalId":12102,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Animals","volume":" ","pages":"433-445"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534485/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141467170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ectodysplasin-A2 receptor (EDA2R) is a member of the TNF receptor family that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, to the best of our knowledge, its role in the progression of myocardial I/R injury remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of EDA2R during myocardial I/R injury and the molecular mechanisms involved. In vitro, dexmedetomidine (DEX) exhibited a protective effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte injury and downregulated EDA2R expression. Subsequently, EDA2R silencing enhanced cell viability and reduced the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, knockdown of EDA2R led to an elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), repressed the release of Cytochrome C and upregulated Bcl-2 expression. EDA2R knockdown also resulted in downregulated expression of Bax, and decreased activity of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in cardiomyocytes, reversing the effects of H/R on mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. In addition, knockdown of EDA2R suppressed H/R-induced oxidative stress. Mechanistically, EDA2R knockdown inactivated the NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, downregulation of EDA2R weakened myocardial I/R injury in mice, as reflected by improved left ventricular function and reduced infarct size, as well as suppressed apoptosis and oxidative stress. Additionally, EDA2R knockdown repressed the activation of NF-κB signal in vivo. Collectively, knockdown of EDA2R exerted anti-apoptotic and antioxidant effects against I/R injury in vivo and in vitro by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway.","PeriodicalId":12102,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Animals","volume":" ","pages":"376-389"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534487/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141155015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have demonstrated that continual production of the pro-inflammatory IL-6 by Kupffer cells is involved in the initiation and progression of DEN-induced HCC and that estrogen-mediated reduction of IL-6 secretion would decrease its incidence in females. Given the predominant utilization of male mice in hepatic carcinogenesis research, the objective of this study was to examine histopathological and immunological parameters in the DEN-induced liver carcinogenesis model in female C3H mice. We observed a significant prevalence of hepatocellular hyperplasias and adenomas alongside a minimal infiltration of inflammatory cells and a scarcity of senescent areas in females. Further, a low expression of immunosuppression markers is observed in females - such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, PD-1 expression in CD8 T cells, and PD-L1 in myeloid cells - compared to males. Comparative studies between susceptible and resistant hosts to chemical carcinogenesis may help to unveil novel therapeutic strategies against cancer.","PeriodicalId":12102,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Animals","volume":" ","pages":"399-411"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534494/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141888882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rats are expected to continue to play an important role as experimental animals, especially with advancements such as CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Environmental enrichment aims to promote species-specific behaviors and psychological well-being. In the present study, we designed a double-decker (DD) cage, which utilizes two stacked plastic cages for rat enrichment, and investigated the influence of housing in the DD cage on rat mating behavior. The results indicated that mount frequency, total mount counts, and total ejaculation latency were significantly lower in the DD cages than in the single-decker (SD) cages. Notably, in the DD cages, the body weight loss of male rats after mating behavior was lower than that observed in the SD cage. Water consumption per day during mating behavior was also significantly lower in the DD cages, although no significant differences were observed in daily food intake during mating behavior. In addition, reproductive performance, including pregnancy rate and birth rate, did not change in the DD cages. In summary, our study demonstrated that DD cages reduce mount frequency and ejaculation latency during rat mating, resulting in decreased water consumption and weight loss in male rats. Therefore, housing in DD cages may serve as a beneficial enrichment for rats.","PeriodicalId":12102,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Animals","volume":" ","pages":"412-420"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11534486/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141175178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
