Plant intoxications in wildlife are difficult to diagnose, are overlooked, or are sometimes even neglected. Hence, factors that induce wild animals to ingest poisonous plants have not been sufficiently documented. An outbreak of glycoprotein storage disease in sambar deer ( Cervus unicolor ),
Both recombinant tumor necrosis factor (rTNF) and recombinant interleukin 1 (rIL-1) are able to mediate vascular collapse and death in a previously described murine model, using galactosamine to enhance the toxicity of these cytokines. Unexpectedly, both acid-treated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and
Swainsonine, an extract from Astragalus membranaceus, is known for its anti-cancer effects and could prevent metastases. In order to investigate the effects and mechanisms of swainsonine in C6 glioma cells, we carry out correlated experiments in vitro and in vivo. After treatment with swainsonine,
In Europe, swainsonine has been studied widely for prevention of metastasis and cancer therapy. In order to investigate the effects and mechanisms of swainsonine on the human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cell, we carried out in vivo and in vitro experiments. After treatment with swainsonine, an
Spontaneous and experimental poisoning with the swainsonine-containing and calystegine-containing plant Ipomoea carnea subsp fistulosa is described. Three of 8 goats presenting with emaciation, weakness, symmetrical ataxia, posterior paresis, proprioceptive deficits, abnormal posture, abnormal
Production and release of lymphotoxin (LT) was studied by metabolic labeling of human B- and T-cell lines with 14C-leucine and 35S-methionine. LT was immunoprecipitated with antiserum to LT and separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by
Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited and acquired disorders characterized by dysfunctional lysosomes. Intracytoplasmic accumulation of undegraded substrates leads to impaired cellular function and death. Several plant species are toxic to livestock because of the presence of indolizidine
The sialyl Lewis-x determinant is a ligand for ELAM-1, a major adhesion molecule for HL60 cells and neutrophils. ELAM-1 expression can selectively be induced on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1 and lipopolysaccharide. The determinant sialyl
