March hemoglobinuria-associated acute tubular injury
A previously healthy 17-year-old African-American male presented with acute kidney injury after playing basketball without rest for 5–6 h. At presentation, his serum creatinine was 468.5 μmol/L (5.3 mg/dL) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 17 mL/min/ 1.73 m calculated by the four-variable modification of diet in renal disease study equation. He had no history of kidney dise...
متن کاملHow does G-CSF act on the kidney during acute tubular injury?
Recent findings in stem cell research have demonstrated multi-lineage plasticity of bone marrow cells, and also the contribution of hematopoietic bone marrow stem cells to the regeneration of injured organs including the kidney. These findings suggested the possibility of the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as a therapeutic option to regenerate injured organs. Recently, sev...
متن کاملThe mevalonate pathway of Staphylococcus aureus.
Isoprenoids are a class of ubiquitous organic molecules synthesized from the five-carbon starter unit isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). Comprising more than 30,000 known natural products, isoprenoids serve various important biological functions in many organisms. In bacteria, undecaprenyl pyrophosphate is absolutely required for the formation of cell wall peptidoglycan and other cell surface str...
متن کاملIGF-1 protects tubular epithelial cells during injury via activation of ERK/MAPK signaling pathway
Injury of renal tubular epithelial cells can induce acute renal failure and obstructive nephropathy. Previous studies have shown that administration of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) ameliorates the renal injury in a mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model, whereas the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we addressed this question. We found that the admini...
متن کاملTargeting cholesterol at different levels in the mevalonate pathway protects fatty liver against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver steatosis enhances ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and is considered a primary factor in graft failure after liver transplantation. Although previous reports have shown a role for qualitative steatosis (macrovesicular vs. microvesicular) in hepatic I/R injury, no studies have compared side by side the specific contribution of individual lipids accumulating in fatty liv...
