Spontaneous leukemia occurred in 36% of a group of 39 aged Slc: Wistar rats, which ranged in age at death from 99 to 123 (average age: 114) weeks old. The leukemic rats showed hemolytic anemia, jaundice and leukocytosis (21,000 to 360,000/mm3). Macroscopically, they were characterized by splenomegaly and hepatomegaly. The leukemia cells were rich in basophilic cytoplasm containing eosinophilic granules. Their nuclei were oval and occasionally revealed mitotic figures. These leukemia cells were consistently transplantable into both Slc: Wistar and F 344/NSlc rats. In the transplanted cases, the latency and survival periods were prolonged in proportion to decreases in the inoculated cell dose. 相似文献

The present investigations were performed to assess the differences among rat colonies commonly used for neurophysiological research regarding the development of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis. Inflammatory signs including edema in the paw fluctuated remarkably among individual Wistar (Slc/Wistar/ST) and Sprague-Dawley (Slc/SD) rats, while the inflammatory signs of Lewis (LEW/Crj) rats appeared earlier and was severer and more consistent than Slc/Wistar/ST and Slc/SD rats. Edema in the hind paw developed in 100% of LEW/Crj rats with the lowest dose of CFA (0.6 mg/rat) used as compared with 64% of Slc/Wistar/ST (CFA 1 mg/rat) and 38% of Slc/SD rats (CFA 1.2 mg/rat). Retardation of weight gain was observed in Slc/Wistar/ST and Slc/SD rats in contrast to a severe weight decrease in inflamed LEW/Crj rats after the development of arthritis. 相似文献

Injection of streptococcal cell walls (SCW) i.p. into susceptible rats results in dissemination of SCW primarily to the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and peripheral joints. Within the liver, the SCW are phagocytized by the Kupffer cells, initiating a sequence of events leading to the formation of hepatic granulomas. The granulomas are characterized by large numbers of W3/13+, W3/25+ T lymphocytes and Ia+, esterase-positive macrophages. The generation of inflammatory mediators by these mononuclear cells appears to be central to the evolution of the granulomas and the subsequent fibrotic sequelae evoked by the SCW. In the absence of functional T lymphocytes (athymic rats), injection of SCW does not trigger lymphokine production, and organized granulomas do not develop in the livers. Furthermore, inhibition of T lymphocyte proliferation and lymphokine synthesis pharmacologically by cyclosporin A administration in euthymic animals inhibits SCW-induced hepatic granuloma development. Although macrophage function is apparently not impaired as evidenced by IL 1 and PGE2 production, a chronic inflammatory response to SCW cannot be sustained in the absence of T lymphocyte participation. These studies provide insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to formation and maintenance of chronic granulomatous lesions. 相似文献

Although Slc:Wistar rats are used widely in biomedical research as outbred rats, close
similarities in growth curves, survival rates, and immunological and biochemical
phenotypes have been reported between Slc:Wistar and F344 inbred rats. We reported
previously that nine genetic variations that were fixed in Slc:Wistar rats had identical
genotypes in F344 rats. Here, we examined the genetic characteristics of Slc:Wistar rats
using 27 simple-sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) markers and compared them with other
Wistar stocks available in Japan and with some F344 strains. Among 27 SSLP loci, 23 (85%)
were fixed in the Slc:Wistar rats, which was the highest among the other Wistar stocks.
The 23 fixed loci shared identical genotypes with corresponding loci in F344 rats.
Further, the predominant allele types in the unfixed loci had allele frequencies as high
as 80%, and these alleles were identical in the F344 rats. When the nine genetic
variations reported previously are added, a total of 32 (89%) out of the 36 loci examined
were fixed and identical in the Slc:Wistar and F344 rat genomes. These findings indicate
the low genetic variation in Slc:Wistar rats and the high genetic similarity between the
Slc:Wistar and F344 inbred rats. This study demonstrates the importance of characterizing
outbred rats and the need to pay ample attention to the genetic characteristics the
Slc:Wistar rats for their proper use. 相似文献

Histopathological examinations on nephlocalcinosis of the Fischer 344 (F344) rats were carried out. As the results of comparison on its appearance among F344, Wistar and SD strains of rats, F344 female rats showed the most severe nephrocalcinosis. Nephrocalcinosis developed between 4 weeks and 8 weeks and was likely to keep its appearance through 108 weeks of the survival period of the rats. Histologically, mineral deposit was always observed at cortico-medullary junction. It seemed to locate at the outer portion of the basement membrane of the tubular epithelium, adjacent to the capillary wall in the connective tissue. Four weeks after ovariectomy at 4 weeks of age, the rats showed a decrease in degree of nephrocalcinosis. In contrary, the rats treated with estorone following ovariectomy revealed an increase in degree of nephrocalcinosis. It was suggested that the oestrogen-type sex hormone appeared to give a role in nephlocalcinosis. 相似文献

The bone marrow origin of cells involved in neointimal formation after injury of the luminal surface of the vessel was confirmed by highly sensitive nested polymerase chain reaction on isolated vascular wall cells. The model of intimal hyperplasia after balloon angioplasty of the carotid artery in radiation bone marrow chimeras between male and female Wistar rats was used. The Y chromosomes of rat male donors of the bone marrow for irradiated females were used as a marker of bone marrow-derived cells. This approach demonstrated a bone marrow origin of a large fraction of α-actin-positive (smooth muscle) neointimal cells. 相似文献

Acute cytogenetic effects of benzene in LE rat bone marrow cells in vivo were studied. Chromosome aberrations (CA) induced by benzene consisted mainly of gaps and breaks. Cells with exchanges were rarely observed. The incidence of benzene-induced CA was at its maximum level 12 h after the p.o. or i.p. administration of benzene, dependent on the dose of benzene administered, and higher in male rats than in female rats. However, the sex difference was not observed in the repeated inhalation experiment. Chromosome damage was higher with the p.o. than the i.p. administration. LE rats were more sensitive than Wistar and SD rats to the clastogenic action of benzene. Phenobarbital and Sudan III are well known as inducers of drug-metabolizing enzymes. The peak percentage of benzene-induced CA in the rats pretreated with phenobarbital was observed 6 h after the benzene injection, and it occurred at a higher level than in the rats given only benzene. On the other hand, Sudan III pretreatment suppressed benzene-induced CA at all periods after the benzene injection. SKF-525A (a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor) and cyclohexene oxide (an epoxide hydrase inhibitor) pretreatment also suppressed benzene-induced CA. 相似文献

With respect to F344/DuCrj and Slc: Wistar rats, both widely used in Japan, it was found that there is a close similarity in the changes of body weights and survival rates, and in the organ distribution and incidence of spontaneous tumors. To examine the degree of homozygosity between F344 and Slc: Wistar strains, tumor transplantation and skin grafting were performed. The bladder carcinomas that originated from F344/DuCrj rats grew subcutaneously in the other F344 strains and Slc: Wistar rats, but did not grow in the other Wistar-derived strains. The skin grafts between F344/DuCrj or F344/NSlc and Slc: Wistar rats were accepted, but those between F344/DuCrj or Slc: Wistar and the other Wistar-derived strains were rejected. These results suggest that Slc: Wistar rats cannot be distinguished genetically from the F344 strain of rats. 相似文献

Spontaneously hypercholesterolemic (SHC) rats exhibit severe abnormalities in renal function and bone metabolism at old ages, in addition to hypercholesterolemia. SHC rats were also found to show endocrine abnormalities such as hyperthyroidism from young ages. In this study, biochemical and microdensitometric analyses were carried out using femurs to characterize further the abnormality in bone metabolism: whether biochemical markers of the bone may be affected by these abnormalities. At 6 weeks of age, the ashed weight and calcium content of the dried femurs were slightly lower in SHC rats than in age-matched Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. None of the markers of microdensitometric analysis was changed. At 24 weeks of age, the ashed weight of dried femurs and the density of the marrow region of femurs were lower in the SHC rats. The results indicate that SHC rats exhibit severe abnormality in bone metabolism leading to biochemical changes in the bone at old ages whereas changes in bone markers were minimal at young ages before the onset of severe renal dysfunction. 相似文献

Duplication of sex chromosomes was studied in bone marrow cells from adult rats and in short-term cultures of rat fetus cells. Results obtained indicate that: a) G2 period takes 4 hours in cells from fetuses and 3 hours in bone marrow cells, b) S period lasts 7 hours in bone marrow cells and about 20 hours in short-term cultured cells from fetuses, c) In cells from female fetuses one X-chromosome is the last to start DNA synthesis and also one of the X's is the last to end replication, d) In cells from female adult rats both X-chromosomes start and finish DNA synthesis early, e) In both line of cells the Y-chromosome was the last to begin and the last to finish DNA synthesis. — Causes which can account for the differences between the two line of cells are discussed. 相似文献

Ontogeny of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-positive cells in lymphohemopoietic tissues of rat and mouse. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

The ontogeny of hemopoietic cells which contain the enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was studied in rats and mice. During fetal life, TdT-positive cells were first detected in the thymus, where they appeared on or about day 17 of gestation. TdT-positive cells were not found in fetal liver, spleen, or bone marrow, but appeared in bone marrow and spleen on the day after birth. In the rat, peak levels of TdT-positive cells were attained at 3 to 4 weeks of age in thymus, bone marrow, and spleen, accounting for 67, 3.9, and 2.3% of nucleated cells, respectively. The percentages of TdT-positive cells in thymus and bone marrow decreased gradually thereafter, whereas, TdT-positive cells in spleen were no longer detectable by 7 weeks of age. Normal percentages of TdT-positive cells were found in bone marrow and spleen from neonatally thymectomized rats and congenitally athymic (nu/nu) mice. Dexamethasone treatment resulted in a marked decrease in TdT-positive cells. The results are discussed with respect to the putative role of TdT-positive hemopoietic cells as thymocyte progenitors. 相似文献

Focal thermo- and cryolesions were placed on one kidney and the liver of Wistar rats. The wound healing was investigated histologically and by tritiated thymidine autoradiography. Furthermore, the 3H labeling indices of neutrophilic and eosinophilic promyelocytes and myelocytes as well as that of erythroblasts were determined in bone marrow samples from femur and vertebra. Normal nonoperated rats and rats which underwent sham operation (simple laparotomy) served as controls. The cryonecrosis healed completely after 4 weeks, whereas thermonecrotic areas were still observed 12 weeks after operation. The maximum mesenchymal and epithelial proliferation occurred between the 2nd and 3rd postoperative days. In the bone marrow, the highest labeling indices were estimated in animals with thermonecrosis, with values remaining increased during the 2 weeks after operation. Significant differences between the bone marrow response after cryolesions and sham operation were not observed. Thermolesions of internal organs, for example, after electrocoagulation, evoke a persisting local granulomatous inflammation accompanied by a distinct bone marrow reaction probably because of the pure resorption of carbonized tissue components. Iatrogenic cryolesions, in contrast, are characterized by a quick and uncomplicated wound healing without a significantly increased proliferation of bone marrow cells, thus corresponding to the wound healing after sham operation. 相似文献

Iron-deficient female Wistar rats were fed a diet which contained 0.5% 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl (TMH)-ferrocene over a 57-week period. The state of iron deficiency was characterized by means of the absence of stainable iron in the bone marrow. After the first days on the iron-enriched diet, ferritin-containing siderosomes were found, in numerous erythroblasts up to orthochromatic normoblasts and in reticulocytes, i.e. the dispensed iron was used for haemoglobin synthesis. After 1 week the first macrophages showed a positive Perls' Prussian blue reaction. In the cytoplasm they stored the iron in the form of free ferritin molecules and lysosomally as aggregated ferritin and/or haemosiderin. The iron loading of the macrophages increased in both of the storage qualities proportionally with duration of the feeding period and reached a maximum after 38 weeks. Final stages showed extremely iron-loaded macrophages with high concentrations of free ferritin molecules and large siderosomes, partially flowing together to still greater units. Iron deposits within endothelial cells of bone marrow sinusoids can be observed for the first time after 4 weeks. In these cells the iron is stored as ferritin in siderosomes of relatively small and uniform size; free ferritin molecules in the cytosol were of only slight concentration. The TMH-ferrocene model of iron overload shows in the bone marrow: (1) an unimpeded utilization of the iron component for erythropoiesis, (2) development of excessive iron overload of the bone marrow in macrophages and endothelial cells of sinusoids and (3) a pattern of distribution of iron as seen in secondary haemochromatosis. 相似文献

AbstractI investigated whether long term low dose exposure to acrylamide increased micronucleus frequency in rat bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs). Twenty-five male and 25 female Wistar rats were used. Animals of each sex were segregated into two treatment groups and one control group. Each treatment group consisted of ten animals and each control group consisted of five animals. Acrylamide, 2 or 5 mg/kg/day, was administered to the treatment groups in their drinking water for 90 days. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, bone marrow samples were obtained and analyzed for the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs). The cytotoxic effect of acrylamide on bone marrow also was tested by assessing the polychromatic erythrocyte/normochromatic erythrocyte (PCE/NCE) ratio. Both doses of acrylamide significantly increased the frequency of MNPCEs in both male and female rats. Acrylamide also decreased the PCE/NCE ratio in both sexes compared to the control group. My study showed that chronic low dose exposure to acrylamide increased the formation of micronuclei in PCEs of male and female rat bone marrow. 相似文献

In experiments on Wistar rats, dynamics of blood hematologic and rheological parameters was studied from birth to the 3-month age. Results of this study indicate an intensive activity of the red bone marrow anlagen for the first 3 weeks of postnatal ontogenesis. This is manifested as an increase of the number of cells in the erythron system, a change of the erythrocyte acidic resistance, and a shift in the leukocytic formula. The boundary between the 2nd and 3rd weeks of ontogenesis is a critical period: there occur a sharp deceleration of erythropoiesis and a change of the age-related erythrocyte composition and of the blood leukocyte ratio towards the parameters characteristic of adult rats. The rise in the number of leukocytes and erythrocytes does not stop after this period. Until the 4-week age, the deformability index increases to be accompanied by an increase of hemoglobin hydration and improvement of the erythrocyte toroid shape. Subsequently, inversion of these processes occurs. 相似文献

In nuclear-transferred or round spermatid-injected oocytes, artificial activation is required for further development in mammals. Although strontium chloride is widely used as the reagent for inducing oocyte activation in mice, the optimal method for oocyte activation remains controversial in rats because ovulated rat oocytes are spontaneously activated in vitro before artificial activation is applied. In our previous study, we found that cytostatic factor activity, which is indispensable for arrest at the MII stage, is potentially low in rats and that this activity differs greatly between two outbred rats (Slc: Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Crj: Wistar). Therefore, it is necessary to establish an optimal protocol for oocyte activation independent of strains. Given that comparative studies of the in vitro development of oocytes activated by different activation protocols are very limited, we compared four different protocols for oocyte activation (ethanol, ionomycin, strontium and electrical pulses) in two different SD and Wistar rats. Our results show that oocytes derived from SD rats have significantly higher cleavage and blastocyst formation than those from Wistar rats independent of activation regimes. In both types of rat, ethanol treatment provided significantly higher developmental ability at cleavage and blastocyst formation compared to the other activation protocols. However, the initial culture in a fertilization medium (high osmolarity mR1ECM) for 24 h showed a detrimental effect on the further in vitro development of parthenogenetic rat oocytes. Taken together, our results show that ethanol treatment is the optimal protocol for the activation of rat oocytes in SD and Wistar outbred rats. Our data also suggest that high-osmolarity media are inadequate for the in vitro development of parthenogenetically activated oocytes compared with fertilized oocytes. 相似文献

Regucalcin and metabolic disorders: osteoporosis and hyperlipidemia are induced in regucalcin transgenic rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Masayoshi Yamaguchi 《Molecular and cellular biochemistry》2010,341(1-2):119-133
Regucalcin transgenic (TG) rat has been generated to determine the role in metabolic disorders. Regucalcin homozygote male and female rats induce a prominent increase in regucalcin protein in the various tissues. Bone loss has been found to induce in regucalcin TG rats with growing (5 weeks old) and aging (50 weeks old). Osteoclastogenesis has been shown to stimulate in culture with the bone marrow cells obtained from regucalcin TG rats. Exogenous regucalcin stimulates osteoclastogenesis in mouse marrow culture in vitro. Regucalcin has a suppressive effect on the differentiation and mineralization in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro. The mechanism by which regucalcin TG rat induces bone loss may result from the enhancement of osteoclastic bone resorption and the suppression of osteoblastic bone formation. Moreover, regucalcin TG rat has been found to induce hyperlipidemia with increasing age (14–50 weeks); serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, free fatty acid, albumin and calcium concentrations are markedly increased in regucalcin TG male and female rats with increasing age. The decrease in lipid and glycogen contents in liver tissues is induced in regucalcin TG rats. The gene expression of leptin and adiponectin is suppressed in the TG rats. Overexpression of regucalcin has been shown to enhance glucose utilization and lipid production in the cloned rat hepatoma H4-II-E cells in vitro, and insulin resistance is seen in the cells. The expression of glucose transporter 2 mRNA is increased in the transfectants, while it has been shown to suppress insulin receptor and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase mRNA expressions that are involved in insulin signaling. This review proposes that regucalcin relates in osteoporosis and hyperlipidemia, and that the regucalcin TG rat model may be useful in determining the pathophysiologic state and the development of therapeutic tool for osteoporosis and hyperlipidemia. 相似文献
