NSAID Prodrugs with Improved Anti-inflammatory Activity and Low Ulcerogenicity: Wake Up Call to Pharmaceutical Companies and Health Authorities
DownloadSpring 2012
The objective of this work was to synthesize and evaluate the biological properties of a new series of nitric oxide-releasing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NO-NSAIDs) possessing a tyrosol linker between the carboxylic acid present in classical NSAIDs and a NO-releasing group (PROLI/NO)...

The overarching idea of this thesis stemmed from previous work in our lab, where it was noticed that females and males exhibited different disease trajectories in a model of Multiple Sclerosis. Combined with our observation of different outcome metrics for peripheral nociception suggested that...

Pathologic Evaluation of Type 2 PorcineReproductive and Respiratory SyndromeVirus Infection at the Maternal-FetalInterface of Late Gestation Pregnant Gilts
Download2016-03-10
Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Regulation of autotaxin expression and secretion by lysophosphatidate and sphingosine 1-phosphate
Download2015
Zhao, Yuan Y., McMullen,Todd P. W. , Brindley, David N., Curtis, Jonathan M., Benesch, Matthew G. K.
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted enzyme, which produces extracellular lysophosphatidate (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). LPA activates six G protein-coupled receptors and this is essential for vasculogenesis during embryonic development. ATX is also involved in wound healing and...

Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The...

Remodeling of aorta extracellular matrix as a result of transient high oxygen exposure in newborn rats: implication for arterial rigidity and hypertension risk
Download2014-01-01
Huyard, Fanny, Yzydorczyk, Catherine, Castro, Michele M., Cloutier, Anik, Bertagnolli, Mariane, Sartelet, Hervé, Schulz, Richard, Nuyt, Anne Monique
Neonatal high-oxygen exposure leads to elevated blood pressure, microvascular rarefaction, vascular dysfunction and arterial (aorta) rigidity in adult rats. Whether structural changes are present in the matrix of aorta wall is unknown. Considering that elastin synthesis peaks in late fetal life...

Revisiting the antifibrinolytic effect of carboxypeptidase N: novel structure and regulation
DownloadFall 2010
Carboxypeptidase N (CPN) is a plasma carboxypeptidase that was discovered in the 1960s as a regulator of inflammation and vascular tone. Through the removal of carboxy-terminal basic residues, CPN alters the activity or binding specificity of inflammatory mediators and vasoactive peptides. CPN...

Role of Cytochrome P450 1B1 in Inflammation-induced Cardiac Hypertrophy
2023-05-17
ElKhatib, Mohammed, El-Kadi, Ayman
A great deal of research has demonstrated the involvement of cytochrome P450 (CYPs) enzymes and its metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) in the modulation of cardiac hypertrophy (CH) pathogenesis. Multiple studies demonstrated that inflammation is a major contributor to CH and is known to...

12,13-dihydroxy-9z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) is a linoleic acid-derived cardiac metabolite produced in endotoxin-induced cardiomyopathy, correlating with myocardial dysfunction, inflammation, and mitochondrial damage. The contribution of 12,13-DiHOME to inflammation in the heart is...
