Strain-specific differences in age-related changes in rat susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and dendritic cell cytokine gene expression
(Društvo genetičara Srbije, Beograd, 2014)
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis, a prototype of Th1/Th17-mediated organ-specific autoimmune disease. In the rat, susceptibility to development of these diseases is ...
Age-associated changes in rat immune system: Lessons learned from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Aging is associated with the decline in immune response to infectious agents and tumors and increasing risk of autoimmunity, but the incidence of autoimmune diseases does not increase in the elderly. To elucidate the ...
Androgens Contribute to Age-Associated Changes in Peripheral T-Cell Homeostasis Acting in a Thymus-Independent Way
(Karger, Basel, 2014)
Objective: Considering a causal role of androgens in thymic involution, age-related remodeling of peripheral T-cell compartments in the absence of testicular hormones was evaluated. Methods: Rats were orchidectomized (ORX) ...
Peritoneal exudate cells from long-lived rats exhibit increased IL-10/IL-1 beta expression ratio and preserved NO/urea ratio following LPS-stimulation in vitro
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
In humans, usual aging, differently from successful aging, is associated with deregulation of proinflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokine balance. The corresponding data from rat studies are limited. Therefore, we examined ...
Aging oppositely affects TNF-alpha and IL-10 production by macrophages from different rat strains
(Springer, New York, 2014)
Altered functions of macrophages with aging contribute to impairment of both innate and adaptive immunity in the elderly. The present study aimed to examine strain specificity of age-related changes in the phenotypic and ...
