Bone resorption underlies the pathology of many disabling diseases, ranging from the inflammatory condition, rheumatoid arthritis to the hormonally controlled, metabolic disorder, osteoporosis. It is known that various agents, including cytokines, prostaglandins, parathyroid hormone (PTH), la ,25 dihydroxy vitamin D 3 and free radicals influence the bone resorptive process. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFa and IL-lp have been ascribed a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Bone resorptive mechanisms employ complex cellular signalling pathways between osteoblasts and osteoclasts that involve reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS). Recent studies have demonstrated that one of these species, hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2) can increase osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. One possible source of these ROS is xanthine oxidase. This thesis explores the role of XO- derived ROS directly and as mediators of cytokine- and hormone-induced bone resorption in vitro. The results of this thesis demonstrated that calvarial osteoblasts contain XO, which can be upregulated by TNFa and IL -ip. Consequently, induction of XO by these cytokines led to the generation of hydrogen peroxide. TNFa and IL-lp caused a dose-related increase in resorption of mouse calvariae in culture, which was inhibited by lOU/ml catalase. The competitive inhibitor of XO, allopurinol, also caused a dose related (0.05-50p,M) inhibition of TNF-a (O.l-lOpM) and IL-lp-induced resorption respectively. Additionally, IFN-y inhibition of bone resorption could be reversed by the addition of superoxide dismutase to the cultures. PTH- and la ,25 (OH) 2 D3-induced bone resorption could be inhibited by catalase (lOU/ml) but was unaffected by allopurinol, implying that a different mediator, other than XO, is required for hormone-induced bone resorption. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that modulation of the redox balance in the bone microenvironment can have profound effects on the bone resorbing process. Our results show that XO may play a pivotal role in affecting this redox balance and if manipulated appropriately, could be used to have a therapeutic benefit in inflammatory bone disorders such as RA.

Abstract: Inflammation of the central nervous system can be triggered by endogenous and exogenous stimuli such as local or systemic infection, trauma, and stroke. In addition to neurodegeneration and cell death, alterations in physiological brain functions are often associated with neuroinflammation. Robust experimental evidence has demonstrated that inflammatory cytokines affect the ability of neurons to express plasticity. It has been well-established that inflammation-associated alterations in synaptic plasticity contribute to the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Nevertheless, diagnostic approaches and interventional strategies to restore inflammatory deficits in synaptic plasticity are limited. Here, we review recent findings on inflammation-associated alterations in synaptic plasticity and the potential role of the blood–brain interface, i.e., the blood–brain barrier, Citation: Lenz, M.; Eichler, A.; in modulating synaptic plasticity. Based on recent findings indicating that brain stimulation promotes Vlachos, A. Monitoring and plasticity and modulates vascular function, we argue that clinically employed non-invasive brain Modulating Inflammation-Associated stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, could be used for monitoring and Alterations in Synaptic Plasticity: modulating inflammation-induced alterations in synaptic plasticity.

According the time frame is divided into two categories: acute and chronic. Function: • destroys, dilutes or walls off injurious agents • one of body’s non-specific defense mechanisms • begins the process of healing and repair 1.1 Acute Inflammation Rapid onset, usually short duration Microscopy • neutrophils dominate • other cellular elements are also involved (monocytes/macrophages, platelets, mast cells) • protein rich exudate, especially fibrin Associations • necrosis • pyogenic bacteria 1.2 Chronic Inflammation Usually long duration, but in some cases may be short. May follow acute inflammation or may have an insiduous onset (without an apparent prelude of acute inflammation). Microscopy • mononuclear cells dominate – lymphocytes – plasma cells (plasmocytes) – monocytes/macrophages • other cellular elements are also involved (eosinophils, neutrophils in active“ inflammation)1 ” • In granulomas are typical Langhans cells, large, multinuclear elements on the periphery of tuberculous granulomas. Nuclei are sometimes arranged in a horseshoe shape formation. Foreign body cells are similar, usually smaller, the horseshape formation of nuclei is not present. Both these elements are modified macrophages. • evidence of healing — fibroblasts, capillaries, fibrosis Associations • long term stimulation of immune system, autoimmunity • viral infections

    PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF ZINC-L-CARNOSINE /VITAMIN E ON ASPIRIN- INDUCED GASTRODUODENAL INJURY IN DOGS MASTER’S THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science Degree in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Mieke Baan, DVM, MVR ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Master’s Examination Committee: Professor Robert G. Sherding, Adviser Professor Stephen P. DiBartola Associate Professore Susan E. Johnson Approved by Adviser Veterinary Clinical Sciences Graduate Program ! Copyright by Mieke Baan 2009 ABSTRACT Zinc plays a role in many biochemical functions, including DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. The dipeptide carnosine forms a stable complex with zinc, which has a protective effect against gastric epithelial injury in-vitro and in-vivo. This randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled study investigated the protective effects of zinc-L-carnosine in combination with alpha-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) on the development of aspirin-induced gastrointestinal (GI) lesions in dogs. Eighteen mixed-breed dogs (mean 20.6 kg) were negative for parasites, and had normal blood work evaluations, and gastroduodenoscopic exams. On days 0 – 35, dogs were treated with 1 tablet (n=6) or 2 tablets (n=6) of 30 mg zinc-L-carnosine/ 30 IU vitamin E q12h PO, or a placebo (n=6). On days 7 – 35, all dogs were given 25 mg/kg buffered aspirin q8h PO. Endoscopy was performed on Days -1, 14, 21, and 35, and GI lesions (hemorrhages, erosions, or ulcers) were scored using a 12-point grading scale. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for statistical evaluation. The significance level was set at p ! 0.05.

On the other hand, NO is considered as a pro-inflammatory mediator that induces inflammation due to over production in abnormal situations. NITRIC OXIDE IN INFLAMMATION • NO is believed to induce vasodilatation in cardiovascular system and furthermore, it involves in immune responses by cytokine- activated macrophages, which release NO in high concentrations. • In addition, NO is a potent neurotransmitter at the neuron synapses and contributes to the regulation of apoptosis. NO is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders of the joint, gut and lungs. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly specific mitogen for vascular endothelial cells. Five VEGF isoforms are generated as a result of alternative splicing from a single VEGF gene. These isoforms differ in their molecular mass and in biological properties such as their ability to bind to cell-surface heparan-sulfate proteoglycans. The expression of VEGF is potentiated in response to hypoxia, by activated oncogenes, and by a variety of cytokines.
