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...

Small intestine early innate immunity response during intestinal colonization by Escherichia coli depends on its extra-intestinal virulence status
Download2016
Denamur, Erick, Tourret, Jérôme, Dion, Sara, Willing, Benjamin P., Wachtel, Sarah, Finlay, B. Brett, Dufour, Nicolas, Croxen, Matthew A.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...

T cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped: mouse delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and mouse T cell-mediated rejection of renal allografts share common molecular mechanismsT cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped
DownloadFall 2011
Genome-wide gene expression analysis of diseases has revealed large-scale changes in the expression of thousands of genes (transcripts) representing biological processes. The processes that occur during T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts in mice and humans have been previously...

The analysis of cytokine regulation of macrophage antimicrobial responses of the goldfish (Carassius auratus L.)
DownloadFall 2011
Inflammation is a highly regulated immune response to tissue damage, infiltrating pathogens or both. Cells of the myeloid lineage such as macrophages are indispensable for the initiation, progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages possess an armamentarium of antimicrobial responses...
