Full MMTV-Y gene expression can occur in dexamethasone-insulin-prolactin-stimulated cell cultured derived from C57Bl/10 mammary adenocarcinomas induced by syncarcinogenic action of chemical carcinogens (dimethylbenzanthracene), and mammotropic hormones (estrogen and prolactin). The rate of the hormone-stimulated virus production, as determined by biochemical, immunological and electron microscopical methods, was comparable to the level of spontaneous MMTV production by cells of established mouse mammary cancer cultures (CCL-51 and Mm5mt/cl). On the contrary, no virus production has been detected in hormone-stimulated cultures derived from C57Bl/10 mammary tumors induced by chemical carcinogen alone (urethan).

Regulatory B cells (Bregs) producing IL-10 have negative regulatory function. Several studies have shown the important roles for Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), TLR4, and TLR9 ligation in the development of Bregs. We have reported that Schistosome soluble egg antigen (SEA) induced the production of Bregs.

Differences in frequencies of blood cell subpopulations were reported to influence the course of infections, atopic and autoimmune diseases, and cancer. We have discovered a unique mouse strain B10.O20 containing extremely high frequency of myeloid-derived cells (MDC) in spleen.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important mediators of chronic inflammation in numerous autoimmune diseases, although the role of these receptors in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) remains incompletely understood. Previous studies in our laboratory established Myd88 as a crucial mediator of pSS, although the disease-relevant ligands and the upstream signaling events that culminate in Myd88 activation have yet to be established. The objective of this study was to identify specific Myd88-dependent TLR-related pathways that are dysregulated both locally and systemically in a mouse model of pSS [NOD.

Arising from the ablation of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating and fatal skeletal muscle wasting disease underpinned by metabolic insufficiency. The inability to facilitate adequate energy production may impede calcium (Ca) buffering within, and the regenerative capacity of, dystrophic muscle. Therefore, increasing the metabogenic potential could represent an effective treatment avenue.

Increased oxidative stress is a frequent feature in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). High reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, associated with altered enzyme antioxidant activity, have been reported in dystrophic patients and mdx mice, an experimental model of DMD. In this study, we investigated the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on oxidative stress marker levels and calcium concentration in primary cultures of dystrophic muscle cells from mdx mice.
