متن کاملThymosin β4 in rheumatoid arthritis: Friend or foe.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has characteristic pannus tissues, which show tumor-like growth of the synovium through chronic joint inflammation. The synovium is highly penetrated by various immune cells, and the synovial lining becomes hyperplastic due to increased numbers of macrophage-like and fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Thus, a resultant hypoxic condition stimulates the expression of inflamma...

متن کاملThymosin β4 and its degradation product, Ac-SDKP, are novel reparative factors in renal fibrosis
Previously, we found thymosin β4 (Tβ4) is upregulated in glomerulosclerosis and required for angiotensin II-induced expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in glomerular endothelial cells. Tβ4 has beneficial effects in dermal and corneal wound healing and heart disease, yet its effects in kidney disease are unknown. Here we studied renal fibrosis in wild-type and PAI-1 knockout ...
متن کاملThe role of thymosin-β4 in kidney disease.
Therapies that modulate inflammation and fibrosis have the potential to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A promising avenue may be manipulating thymosin-β4, a naturally occurring peptide, which is the major G-actin sequestering protein in mammalian cells and a regulator of inflammation and fibrosis. Thymosin-β4 is already being tested in clinical ...
