Book ChapterDOI
GABA and GABA receptors in the central nervous system and other organs.
TL;DR: In addition to its role in neural development, GABA appears to be involved in a wide variety of physiological functions in tissues and organs outside the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic effect of intracolonically administered nuclear factor kappa B (p65) antisense oligonucleotide on mouse dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis.
Mitsuyuki Murano,Kentaro Maemura,Hirata I,Ken Toshina,Takashi Nishikawa,Norihiro Hamamoto,S. Sasaki,Osamu Saitoh,Ken-ichi Katsu +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that intracolonic administration of NF‐κB antisense oligonucleotide may be effective in ulcerative colitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aire controls the differentiation program of thymic epithelial cells in the medulla for the establishment of self-tolerance
Masashi Yano,Noriyuki Kuroda,Hongwei Han,Makiko Meguro-Horike,Yumiko Nishikawa,Hiroshi Kiyonari,Kentaro Maemura,Yuchio Yanagawa,Kunihiko Obata,Satoru Takahashi,Tomokatsu Ikawa,Rumi Satoh,Hiroshi Kawamoto,Yasuhiro Mouri,Mitsuru Matsumoto +14 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Aire controls the differentiation program of mTECs, thereby organizing the global mT EC integrity that enables TRA expression from terminally differentiated mTecs in the thymic microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice by intracolonically administered antibodies against adhesion molecules (endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) or intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)).
TL;DR: It is concluded that adhesion molecule expression is important in the development of DSS‐induced colitis in mice and that intracolonic administration of anti‐adhesion molecule antibodies, especially anti‐ELAM‐1 antibody, effectively inhibits the colonic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective effects of sialylated oligosaccharides in immune complex-induced acute lung injury.
Michael S. Mulligan,John B. Lowe,Robert D. Larsen,James C. Paulson,Zhong Li Zheng,Shawn A. DeFrees,Kentaro Maemura,Minoru Fukuda,Peter A. Ward +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that, in neutrophil-mediated and E- selectin-dependent lung injury, SLX preparations provide significant, protective effects against inflammatory vascular injury.
