Birth Weight, Intrauterine Growth Retardation and Fetal Susceptibility to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
Download2014
Ashley, C., Foxcroft, G., Plastow, G., Harding, J. C. S., Lunney, J. K., Ladinig, A.
The severity of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome was compared in pregnant gilts originating from high and low birth weight litters. One-hundred and eleven pregnant gilts experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus on gestation day 85 (±1) were...

Abstract: Introduction: Partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO) is a ubiquitous problem that results in renal damage. We hypothesize that change in the bladder progresses over time. Methods: Fischer rats underwent surgical pBOO for 2, 4, 8, or 13 weeks and were compared to shams. Urodynamic...

Boutin, Hervé, Crossman, David, Smigova, Alison, Drake, Caroline, Allan, Stuart M., Francis, Sheila, Gerhard, Alexander, Jones, Matthew S., Hinz, Rainer, Kassiou, Michael, Hopkins, Stephen J., Vail, Andy, Herholz, Karl, Tyrrell, Pippa J., Selvarajah, Johann R., Rothwell, Nancy J., Julyan, Peter, Georgiou, Rachel F., Brown, Gavin, Maroy, Renaud, Denes, Adam, Russell, James C., Proctor, Spencer D., McColl, Barry W., Prenant, Christian, Hulme, Sharon
Chronic systemic inflammatory conditions, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and obesity are associated with increased risk of stroke, which suggests that systemic inflammation may contribute to the development of stroke in humans. The hypothesis that systemic inflammation may induce brain...

Butyrate-mediated genomic changes involved in the non-specific host defenses, matrix remodelling and the immune response in the rumen epithelium of cows afflicted with subacute ruminal acidosis
Download2013
Steele, Michael A., Greenwood, Sabrina L., Plaizier, Jan C., McBride, Brian W., Matthews, James C., Laarman, Anne H., AlZahal, Ousama, Dionissopoulos, Louis
Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by...

Campylobacter jejuni colonization is associated with a dysbiosis in the cecal microbiota of mice in the absence of prominent inflammation
Download2013
Selinger, L. Brent, Inglis, G. Douglas, Uwiera, Richard R. E., Lone, Abdul, Xu, Yong
Background Campylobacter jejuni causes enterocolitis in humans, but does not incite disease in asymptomatic carrier animals. To survive in the intestine, C. jejuni must successfully compete with the microbiota and overcome the host immune defense. Campylobacter jejuni colonization success varies...

Teleosts rely on innate immunity to protect themselves from pathogens. Colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and its cognate receptor CSF-1R control survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of macrophages. Recently, a novel soluble form of CSF-1R (sCSF-1R) was identified in goldfish....

Characterization of Spinal Cord Microglia. Previous studies suggest that the functional response properties of activated brain microglia varied according to the brain region they were derived from, suggesting that these activation profiles are a function of their local environment. CNS microglia...

Chemically defined diet alters the protective properties of fructo-oligosaccharides and isomalto-oligosaccharides in HLA-B27 transgenic rats

Koleva, Petya, Ketabi, Ali, Dieleman, Levinus A., Gänzle, Michael G., Valcheva, Rosica
Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) were shown to reduce inflammation in experimental colitis, but it remains unclear whether microbiota changes mediate their colitis-modulating effects. This study assessed intestinal microbiota and intestinal inflammation after feeding chemically defined...

Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in late endosomes/lysosomes (LE/Ls), leading to progressive neurodegeneration and premature death. Microglia are resident immune cells of the central nervous system, which...
