More on renal disease progression: is interstitial inflammation truly protective?
P atients with a chronic glomerulopathy are at risk for progressively declining renal function that results in end-stage renal failure irrespective of etiology. The underlying pathophysiology is at least partly dependent on maladaptive functional changes that occur in the surviving nephrons upon destruction of a critical number of glomeruli. In proteinuric nephropathies, the dysfunction of the ...
متن کاملEndoglin upregulation during experimental renal interstitial fibrosis in mice.
The goal of the present study was to evaluate the role of endoglin, a transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) accessory receptor, in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis. This was achieved by testing a model of tubulo-interstitial fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction in endoglin heterozygous (Eng(+/-)) mice. Northern and Western blot analysis revealed that endoglin expression ...
متن کاملIL-1RI deficiency ameliorates early experimental renal interstitial fibrosis.
BACKGROUND IL-1beta has the potential to promote progressive renal disease by effects on macrophage recruitment and activation or by effects mediated through tubular cell transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta production, previously demonstrated in vitro. METHODS The in vivo roles of endogenous IL-1beta and its type I receptor (IL-1RI) in renal fibrosis were studied using wild-type C57BL/6 mic...
متن کاملHeamagglutinin Conserved Domain (HA2) Prepared in Prokaryotic System is Immunogenic in Mice but not Protective against Lethal Influenza Challenge
Background and Aims: Influenza vaccine production process is time-consuming with little-to-no cross-protection which requires annual adjustment. The construction of a universal vaccine to deal with the pandemics and epidemics which occasionally threat human population is the aim of many researches worldwide. Today, influenza vaccines are mostly against two major antigenic proteins, hemagglutini...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor modulates matrix metalloproteinases and plasminogen activator/plasmin proteolytic pathways in progressive renal interstitial fibrosis.
Evidence suggests that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ameliorates renal fibrosis in animal models of chronic renal disease by promoting extracellular matrix catabolism. This study examined the molecular mechanisms of HGF-induced alterations in matrix degradation both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, HGF increased the collagen catabolizing activity of human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HKC)...
