Isolation and characterization of proteoglycans synthesized by cultured mesangial cells.
Rat mesangial cells selected by long-term culture of glomeruli exhibited a hill and valley appearance in the confluent state and were stained with antibodies against vimentin and desmin, suggesting that they are smooth muscle-like mesangial cells. The glycoconjugates produced by the cells were metabolically labeled with [35S]sulfate and [3H]glucosamine and extracted with 4 M guanidine HCl conta...
متن کاملPressure oscillation regulates human mesangial cell growth and collagen synthesis.
Experimental renal disease models establish glomerular hypertension as a crucial determinant in glomerulosclerosis progression and demonstrate that glomerular capillary pressure reduction delays sclerosis development. An oscillating pressure (OP) chamber was constructed as an in vitro model to study human mesangial cells. Cell cultures were grown under atmospheric pressure (AP) and a controlled...
متن کاملSynthesis and sorting of proteoglycans.
Proteoglycans are widely expressed in animal cells. Interactions between negatively charged glycosaminoglycan chains and molecules such as growth factors are essential for differentiation of cells during development and maintenance of tissue organisation. We propose that glycosaminoglycan chains play a role in targeting of proteoglycans to their proper cellular or extracellular location. The va...
متن کاملProstaglandins Hypoxia Enhances Prostaglandin Synthesis in Renal Mesangial Cell Culiures
In view of recent findings which suggest that renal prostaglandins mediate the effect of hypoxia on erythropoietin production, we have studied whether hypoxia is a stimulus for in vitro prostaglandin synthesis. Studies were carried out in rat renal mesangia] cell cultures which produce erythropoietin in an oxygen-dependent manner. Production rates of POE Z and in specified samples also off 6-ke...
متن کاملSelective estrogen receptor modulators suppress mesangial cell collagen synthesis.
Estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are "designer drugs" that exert estrogen-like actions in some cells but not in others. We examined the effects of the SERMs LY-117018 (an analog of raloxifene) and tamoxifen on mesangial cells synthesis of type I and type IV collagen. We found that LY-117018 and tamoxifen suppressed mesangial cell type IV collagen gene transcription and type IV collagen prot...
