Estradiol and progestins differentially modulate leukocyte infiltration after vascular injury.
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays an important role in the response to endoluminal vascular injury. Estrogen (17beta-estradiol, E2) inhibits neointima formation in animal models, and the progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) blocks this effect. This study tested the hypothesis that E2 inhibits the migration of inflammatory cells, particularly granulocytes, into the rat carotid arteries after ...
متن کاملPericyte TIMP3 and ADAMTS1 modulate vascular stability after kidney injury.
Kidney pericytes are progenitors of scar-forming interstitial myofibroblasts that appear after injury. The function of kidney pericytes as microvascular cells and how these cells detach from peritubular capillaries and migrate to the interstitial space, however, are poorly understood. Here, we used an unbiased approach to identify genes in kidney pericytes relevant to detachment and differentia...
متن کاملFailure of Progestins to Induce Estradiol Dehydrogenase
Estradiol dehydrogenase (E2DH) is a well-known progester one-dependent enzyme in human endometrium, and its induc tion has been proposed as a means to test hormonal sensitivity of endometrial carcinoma. While administration of progestins to some patients with endometrial carcinoma resulted in in creased endometrial E2DH activity, efforts to induce this en zyme, in vitro, in these tumors have be...
متن کاملEstrogen and progestagens differentially modulate vascular proinflammatory factors.
The potential benefit of ovarian hormone replacement therapy in cerebrovascular disease is well supported by experimental observations but not by recent large, randomized clinical trials. This discrepancy points out the need for better understanding of the vascular actions of ovarian hormones as well as medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a synthetic analog of progesterone (P) widely prescribed ...
متن کاملSildenafil attenuates renal ischemia reperfusion injury by decreasing leukocyte infiltration.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of sildenafil citrate (SC) on renal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in a rat model. Forty eight male Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned into six groups: sham, ischemia, I/R, SC+sham, SC+ischemia and SC+I/R. In the I/R groups, the right kidney was removed and the artery and vein of the left kidney were clamped for 45 min followed by re...
