Disease relevance of Cricetinae

  • The brains of Tg(MH2M PrP) mice dying of scrapie contained chimeric PrPSc and prions with an artificial host range favoring propagation in mice that express the corresponding chimeric PrP and were also transmissible, at reduced efficiency, to nontransgenic mice and hamsters [1].
  • Mutagenization of measles virus with proflavine produced a temperature-sensitive mutant capable of inducing hydrocephalus following intracranial inoculation of newborn hamsters [2].
  • Lung cancers have been induced in 9 to 53 percent of hamsters given multiple intratracheal instillations of polonium-210 in amounts yielding lifetime exposures of 15 to 300 rads to the lungs [3].
  • Ribavirin, when given to pregnant hamsters in relatively small single doses, induces congenital anomalies of limbs, ribs, eyes, and central nervous system, as well as fetal deaths [4].
  • Pregnant hamsters at 10-11 days of gestation were given injections ip of 3 mg diethylnitrosamine (DENA)/100 g body weight and were killed 2 days later when fetal cells were seeded for colony formation [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Cricetinae

  • The prion protein (PrP) is a scrapie-associated fibril protein that accumulates in the brains of hamsters and mice infected with the scrapie agent, and also in the brains of persons affected with kuru or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [6].
  • Three daily injections of the short-acting benzodiazepine, triazolam, induced pronounced phase shifts in the onset of both the circadian surge in pituitary LH release and the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity in ovariectomized hamsters treated with estrogen [7].
  • The histopathological features of eye disease in hamsters were different from those in rats and were characterized by microophthalmia (especially in runted hamsters) and abnormal proliferation, disorientation, and disorganization of corneal, lens, and retinal tissues [8].
  • Reserpine and prochlorperazine were administered in separate experiments to adult CAW:CF1 mice and to adult LVG:LAK hamsters that had recovered from audiosensitization induced by 30 sec of doorbell sound during a critical period of infantile development [9].
  • On the other hand, astressin 2B did not prevent the inhibition of behavior induced by 48-h food deprivation or ICV administration of CRF, a mixed CRFR1 and CRFR2 agonist, suggesting that activation of CRFR1 signaling is sufficient to inhibit sexual receptivity in hamsters [10].
 

High impact information on Cricetinae

  • SV40 infection or transformation of murine cells stimulated the production of a 54K dalton protein that was specifically immunoprecipitated, along with SV40 large T and small t antigens, with sera from mice or hamsters bearing SV40-induced tumors [11].
  • Notably, serial PMCA enables detection of PrP(Sc) in blood samples of scrapie-afflicted hamsters with 89% sensitivity and 100% specificity [12].
  • Treatment of hyperlipidemic hamsters with BBR reduced serum cholesterol by 40% and LDL-cholesterol by 42%, with a 3.5-fold increase in hepatic LDLR mRNA and a 2.6-fold increase in hepatic LDLR protein [13].
  • When administered to hyperlipidemic hamsters, SCAP ligands reduced both LDL cholesterol and triglycerides levels by up to 80% with a three-fold increase in LDLr mRNA in the livers [14].
  • LRP levels, however, were dramatically increased in brain and pancreas, slightly increased in the spleen and not altered in the liver of crapie-infected hamsters [15].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Cricetinae

  • Here we report that treatment of scrapie-infected hamsters with amphotericin B delays the accumulation in the brain of the proteinase-resistant portion of PrPSc by about 30 days without affecting scrapie replication [16].
  • P8 80-100% incidence of multinodular hepatocellular carcinomas was observed in castrated male hamsters following synthetic estrogen treatment in the presence of 0.2-0.4% alpha-naphthoflavone (ANF) in the diet after 8.5-10 months [17].
  • Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in hamsters is associated with collagen accumulation that results from increased lung collagen synthesis rates [18].
  • Simian virus 40 (SV40)-specific isoelectric point-4.7--94,000-Mr membrane glycoprotein: major peptide homology exhibited with the nuclear and membrane-associated 94,000-Mr SV40 T-antigen in hamsters [19].
  • The incidence of hepatic necrosis was elevated in BOP-treated hamsters fed the unsupplemented diet, and that of biliary cystic adenomas was highest in the group fed 0.1 ppm Se before and after BOP treatment [20].

Anatomical context of Cricetinae

 

Associations of Cricetinae with chemical compounds

  • But melatonin can make people drowsy and triazolam often induces hamsters to run in their wheels [31].
  • In hamsters, injections of triazolam, a benzodiazepine, increase the rate of adjustment of activity rhythms to an 8 h advance of the light-dark (LD) cycle [31].
  • The consequence is that hamsters treated with amphotericin B developed clinical signs of disease later than infected controls [16].
  • Previous studies have shown a complete absence of cortico-spinal tract regeneration after the first postnatal week in rats, and in adult hamsters and cats [32].
  • The natural hormone 17 beta-estradiol (E2) induces tumors in various organs of rats, mice, and hamsters [33].
 

Gene context of Cricetinae

  • In hamsters, BNP and ANP occur mainly in the ventricle and the atrium, respectively [34].
  • Cholesterol feeding reduces the mRNAs encoding multiple enzymes in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway and the low density lipoprotein receptor in livers of hamsters [35].
  • We show that livers of hamsters, like those of mice and humans, predominantly produce SREBP-2 and the 1c isoform of SREBP-1 [35].
  • It encodes a novel hydrophobic protein, designated DAD1, which is well conserved (100% identical amino acids between humans and hamsters) [36].
  • Cellular sequences which were free of repeated DNA derived from a clone that defines the Mlvi -2 integration domain (lambda Cl228 ) were found to be highly conserved in a variety of vertebrate species that we examined, including mice, hamsters, cats, and humans [37].
