Disease relevance of Swine, Miniature

 

High impact information on Swine, Miniature

  • Immunofluorescence of NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase in rat and minipig tissues injected with phenobarbital [6].
  • We have previously shown that indefinite systemic tolerance to renal allografts in miniature swine is induced in 100% of cases across a two-haplotype class I plus minor histocompatibility antigen disparity by a 12-d course of Cyclosporine A (CyA), in contrast to irreversible rejection observed uniformly without CyA treatment [7].
  • We compared the effects of 1-yr treatment of 9-mo-old minipigs with sodium fluoride (NaF, 2 mg/kg/d p.o.) or alendronate (ALN, 4 amino-1-hydroxybutylidene bisphosphonate monosodium, 1 mg/kg/d p.o.) on the biomechanical and histomorphometric properties of pig bones [8].
  • METHODS: Mature Goettingen minipigs were treated with solvent (n = 5), EGF (30 micrograms.kg-1.day-1; n = 6) for 4 weeks, or EGF (30 micrograms.kg-1.day-1; n = 5) for 5 weeks followed by 3 weeks of recovery [9].
  • Previously, we generated inbred miniature swine with a null allele of the alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase locus (GGTA1) by nuclear transfer (NT) with gene-targeted fibroblasts [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Swine, Miniature

 

Biological context of Swine, Miniature

  • Molecular characterization of porcine MHC class I clones from two MHC class I loci (P1 and P14) obtained from homozygous inbred miniature swine of three haplotypes (aa, cc, and dd), revealed extensive conservation between loci, suggesting that the genes were products of duplication from a common ancestral sequence [16].
  • Immune tolerance to MHC class II identical renal grafts is achievable in miniature swine following a short immunosuppressive treatment [17].
  • This study examines the vascular sampling site, insulin kinetics, pulsatility and the response to glucose pulse entrainment to evaluate the Göttingen minipig as a model for studying pulsatile insulin secretion [18].
  • Application of different NOS-inhibitors in humans, minipigs, and dogs decreased NOS-activity and thereby increased vascular resistance [19].
  • Contribution of intestinal microbial lysine to lysine homeostasis is reduced in minipigs fed a wheat gluten-based diet [20].
 

Anatomical context of Swine, Miniature

 

Associations of Swine, Miniature with chemical compounds

  • METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated the effects of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) on endothelial vasomotor function in cholesterol-fed miniature swine [26].
  • METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty-two Götingen minipigs were randomized as control diet-fed (C), captopril (25 mg/d)/hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg/d)-treated C (C+Cp), caseinate-based diet-fed (M), and M+Cp minipigs [27].
  • Minipigs on a methionine-rich caseinate-based diet, however, have a special long-lasting postprandial plasma accumulation of methionine, the metabolic precursor of homocysteine [27].
  • Structure of miniature swine class II DRB genes: conservation of hypervariable amino acid residues between distantly related mammalian species [28].
  • The purpose of the present study was to determine the maximal coronary flow reserve (CFR) before and after the administration of successive cocaine doses (0.1, 0.5, 3, and 7 mg/kg IV) for 2 minutes at 10-minute intervals in eight miniature swine [29].
 

Gene context of Swine, Miniature

  • Docetaxel was metabolized in pig, minipig, rat, and human liver microsomes mainly to hydroxydocetaxel (OHDTX), whereas CYP3A-induced rat microsomes produced primarily diastereomeric hydroxyoxazolidinones [30].
  • The nifedipine oxidase activity and testosterone 6beta-hydroxylating activity (specific markers for CYP3A enzymes) of the human liver microsomal and minipig liver microsomal samples were comparable, as were the results of specific inhibition of this activity by triacetyloleandomycin [31].
  • The activity of CYP2E1 was 4 times higher in female than in male minipigs and 2 times higher in female than in male pigs [32].
  • From comparisons, it can be concluded that the sequence of the first 20 amino acids at the N-terminus of minipig CYP2A is highly similar to human CYP2A6 (70% identity) [33].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Thus, our results further support the view that minipigs may serve as model animals in pharmacological/toxicological studies with substrates of human CYP enzymes, namely, of the CYP3A and CYP2A forms [33].
