Activation of the renin-angiotensin (Ang) system induces inflammation via interaction between Ang II and type 1 receptor on leukocytes. The relevance of the new arm of the renin-Ang system, namely Ang-converting enzyme-2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas receptor, for inflammatory responses is not known and was investigated in this study. For this purpose, two experimental models were used: Ag-induced arthritis (AIA) in mice and adjuvant-induced arthritis (AdIA) in rats. Male C57BL/6 wild-type or Mas(-/-) mice were subjected to AIA and treated with Ang-(1-7), the Mas agonist AVE 0991, or vehicle. AdIA was performed in female rats that were given AVE 0991 or vehicle. In wild-type mice, Mas protein is expressed in arthritic joints. Administration of AVE 0991 or Ang-(1-7) decreased AIA-induced neutrophil accumulation, hypernociception, and production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and CXCL1. Histopathological analysis showed significant reduction of inflammation. Mechanistically, AVE 0991 reduced leukocyte rolling and adhesion, even when given after Ag challenge. Mas(-/-) mice subjected to AIA developed slightly more pronounced inflammation, as observed by greater neutrophil accumulation and cytokine release. Administration of AVE 0991 was without effect in Mas(-/-) mice subjected to AIA. In rats, administration of AVE 0991 decreased edema, neutrophil accumulation, histopathological score, and production of IL-1β and CXCL1 induced by AdIA. Therefore, activation of Mas receptors decreases neutrophil influx and cytokine production and causes significant amelioration of arthritis in experimental models of arthritis in rats and mice. This approach might represent a novel therapeutic opportunity for arthritis. 相似文献

Background
Alignment of RNA secondary structures is important in studying functional RNA motifs. In recent years, much progress has been made in RNA motif finding and structure alignment. However, existing tools either require a large number of prealigned structures or suffer from high time complexities. This makes it difficult for the tools to process RNAs whose prealigned structures are unavailable or process very large RNA structure databases. 相似文献23.

Olfactory memory: the long and short of it 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
It has been proposed that memory for odors does not have a short-term (or
working) memory system. The distinction between short- and long- term
memory in other sensory modalities has been generally supported by three
main lines of evidence: capacity differences between the proposed systems,
evidence of differential coding, and differential memory losses in
neuropsychological patients. The present paper examines these issues in an
effort to establish a similar distinction for the memory of olfactory
stimuli. Each of these lines of evidence is examined in relation to the
literature on olfactory memory. Based on this examination, it seems that
there is at least preliminary support from each of these lines of evidence
to advocate a distinction between a long- and short-term memory for
olfactory stimuli. Emphasis is placed upon the qualitative similarity of
olfactory memory to other memory systems. This similarity is further
highlighted through an examination of the literature pertinent to serial
position effects in memory for olfactory stimuli.
