The level of the zinc homeostasis regulating proteins in the brain of rats subjected to olfactory bulbectomy model of depression
2017, Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Besides their roles in maintaining cellular Zn homeostasis, a growing body of work indicates that both MT1 and 2 play important roles in neuroprotection and neuroregeneration. MT1/2 KO mice exhibit impaired wound recovery following brain lesion, with increased apoptosis and increased inflammatory response (Penkowa et al., 1999). Concurrently, transgenic MT1 mice show reduced oxidative stress, neuronal damage, and inflammatory response (van Lookeren Campagne et al., 1999).
Absence of metallothionein-3 produces changes on MT-1/2 regulation in basal conditions and alters hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis
2014, Neurochemistry InternationalCitation Excerpt :The role of brain MT-1 and MT-2 is similar to those described in the periphery: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and metal homeostasis. Many in vivo models of a variety of brain injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, seizures or ischemia suggest the importance of MT-1/-2 in combating brain damage and a neuroprotective effect (Carrasco et al., 2000; Giralt et al., 2002; Molinero et al., 2003; Penkowa et al., 1999b, 2002). In contrast to MT-1 and MT-2, MT-3 is hardly ever inducible (Masters et al., 1994) by the stimuli that normally increase MT-1 and MT-2 expression, so regulation and physiological functions of the MT-3 isoform appear to be different from those of MT-1 and MT-2.
Obesity and downregulated hypothalamic leptin receptors in male metallothionein-3-null mice
2011, Neurobiology of DiseaseCitation Excerpt :Mt1 and Mt2 are expressed ubiquitously (Palmiter, 1987; Palmiter et al., 1992), whereas Mt3 is expressed mainly in the central nervous system (CNS) (Palmiter et al., 1992) and Mt4 is expressed in stratified squamous epithelia (Quaife et al., 1994). Mt1/2-null mice are more vulnerable to insults (Carrasco et al., 2000; Penkowa et al., 1999a,b; Satoh et al., 1997b; Trendelenburg et al., 2002), indicating the cytoprotective roles of these proteins. Moreover, Mt1/2 ablation results in obesity, probably due to abnormal peripheral metallothionein function (Beattie et al., 1998).
Infection of metallothionein 1 + 2 knockout mice with Rocky Mountain Laboratory scrapie
2008, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The lack of differences in disease progression and lesion profile observed between the MT-1 + 2 KO and WT mice suggests the presence of a compensatory mechanism. One obvious possibility, which has not been investigated in the present work, was that a compensatory up-regulation of MT3 compensated for the lack of the 1 and 2 isoforms (Carrasco et al., 2000; Penkowa et al., 1999b). Concerning the hippocampus, the differential up-regulation of HSP25 could be the compensatory mechanism for the lack of MT-1 + 2.
