Anthropoid ape and lower primate TLR4sequences, and their relationship to the human and rodent sequences
In this regard, recent studies have shown that inflammatory mediators such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and leukotriene B 4 delay apoptosis and prolong neutrophil survival in culture [ 3 4 ] . Neutrophils migrating into rodent lungs in response to LPS challenge have also been reported to exhibit delayed rates of apoptosis [ 5 6 ] . Similarly, increases in cytokine and growth factor activity, and reduced neutrophil apoptosis, have been described in various inflammatory lung diseases in humans including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia [ 3 7 8 ] .
The animals had unrestricted access to water and standard rodent chow throughout the experiments.
The data are consistent with the report that a variant of PC12 cells also express exclusively PLD2 [ 18 ] and this expression is stimulated by nerve growth factor [ 18 ] , a treatment known to upregulate the cholinergic phenotype of PC12 cells [ 21 22 ] . PLD2 mRNA is abundant in many regions of the adult rodent central nervous system [ 6 23 ] , including cerebellum, frontal cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, midbrain, brainstem, striatum, and spinal cord [ 24 ] . The latter three regions are enriched with cell bodies of cholinergic neurons.
In hamsters, rats and mice, increases and decreases in bile acid absorption at the brush border membrane are mediated by an up- or down-regulation in IBAT gene transcription [ 33 34 ] . In several rodent species including mice, regulation of IBAT is clearly dependent on intraluminal bile acid concentrations and occurs via a negative feedback mechanism [ 33 34 35 ] . Feeding of bile acids suppresses transcription of IBAT mRNA and reduces IBAT protein abundance; feeding of the bile acid binder cholestyramine has the opposite effect.
