Extracellular matrix metabolism in diabetic nephropathy.
Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in the mesangium and basement membrane of the glomerulus and in the renal tubulointerstitium. This review summarizes the main changes in protein composition of the glomerular mesangium and basement membrane and the evidence that, in the mesangium, these are initiated by changes in glucose metabolism a...
متن کاملChanges in extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM-associated proteins in the metastatic progression of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is no exception to the multi-step process of metastasis. As PCa progresses, changes occur within the microenvironments of both the malignant cells and their targeted site of metastasis, enabling the necessary responses that result in successful translocation. The majority of patients with progressing prostate cancers develop skeletal metastases. Despite advancing efforts i...

متن کاملDiabetic Retinopathy in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy: Development and Progression
The purpose of current study aims to investigate the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) in a nationwide population-based cohort in Taiwan. Newly diagnosed DN patients and age- and sex-matched controls were identified from the Taiwanese Longitudinal Health Insurance Database from 2000 to 2010. We studied the effects of age, sex, hy...
متن کاملTranilast prevents the progression of experimental diabetic nephropathy through suppression of enhanced extracellular matrix gene expression.
The present study was performed to investigate the effects of the antiallergic drug tranilast on the development of diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin (50 mg/kg)-induced diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Diabetic SHR were given standard chow or chow containing tranilast at a dose of 1400 mg/kg for 24 weeks. The effects of tranilast on urinary albumin excretion, mesangial expan...
