Glomerular Epithelial Cells Produce
EndothelinI , a vasoactive peptide originally isolated from vascular endothelial cell culture supernatants, has constricting or mitogenic effects on smooth muscle and glomerular mesangial cells. Whether or not cultured rat glomerular epithelial cells synthesize endothelin-1 was assessed. Under basal culture conditions, the synthesis and release of endothelin-1 peptide by glomerular epithelial c...
متن کاملTransdifferentiation of epithelial glomerular cells.
Cell transdifferentiation is characterized by loss of some phenotypes along with acquisition of new phenotypes in differentiated cells. Differentiated cells are endowed with the capacity of transforming into cells of a different type having other functions (1,2). Gene expression in differentiated cells has long been considered an irreversible phenomenon that is established at the time of replic...
متن کاملGlomerular epithelial cells secrete a glomerular basement membrane-degrading metalloproteinase.
Cultured rat glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) were examined for their ability to release extracellular matrix-degrading proteinases with [3H]gelatin as substrate. GEC-conditioned media, under serum-free conditions, contained modest amounts of gelatinase activity (1 to 10 U/mg of protein); the activity was maximal at neutral pH, was inhibited by zinc chelators, was not inhibited by tissue inhib...
متن کاملTranscriptional Landscape of Glomerular Parietal Epithelial Cells
Very little is known about the function of glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs). In this study, we performed genome-wide expression analysis on PEC-enriched capsulated vs. PEC-deprived decapsulated rat glomeruli to determine the transcriptional state of PECs under normal conditions. We identified hundreds of differentially expressed genes that mapped to distinct biologic modules includin...
متن کاملHuman thymic epithelial cells produce interleukin-3.
Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a hematopoietic growth factor suggested to be produced by activated T lymphocytes. Meanwhile, supernatants from human thymic stroma could promote the proliferation of myeloid stem cells. Thus, we investigated whether IL-3 accounts for this activity. Therefore, human thymic epithelial cells (TEC), fibroblasts, and adherent cells were isolated, and their culture supernatan...
