Female C57BL/10 mice 2 and 14 months of age were killed 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 h after injection with 0.4 mg of benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol. The amount of carcinogen bound to DNA isolated from liver and kidney of each mouse was determined as benzo[a]pyrene-7,8,9,10-tetrol liberated upon acid hydrolysis of the DNA and measured by synchronous scanning fluorometry. Considerable variability was observed and a subset of animals in the middle-aged group failed to sustain appreciable damage upon injection of the carcinogen. Nevertheless, repair of DNA-bound carcinogen from both the liver and kidney of 2-month-old animals was clearly evident. In the subset of 14-month-old animals who sustained damage, evidence for removal of DNA-bound carcinogen was marginal.

Syndecan-1 Plays a Role in the Pathogenesis of Sjögren's Disease by Inducing B-Cell Chemotaxis through CXCL13-Heparan Sulfate Interaction.

In Sjögren's disease (SjD), the salivary glandular epithelial cells can induce the chemotaxis of B cells by secreting B-cell chemokines such as C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13). Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) is a major transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) predominantly expressed on epithelial cells that binds to and regulates heparan sulfate (HS)-binding molecules, including chemokines. We aimed to determine whether SDC-1 plays a role in the pathogenesis of SjD by acting on the binding of HS to B-cell chemokines.

Obeticholic acid (OCA), a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist, has been demonstrated to ameliorate the histopathological characteristics of liver damage. Nonetheless, the systemic safety profile of OCA with regard to reproduction and development remains poorly understood. In the present study, we conducted a dose-response experiment by administering OCA at doses of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, or 20 mg/kg through tube feeding to investigate its effect on reproductive development and fertilization rate in both male and female mice.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of exocrine tissue, resulting in loss of tears and saliva. Patients also experience many extra-glandular disease manifestations. Treatment for pSS is palliative, and there are currently no treatments available that target disease etiology.

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.
