Transforming growth factor beta contributes to progressive diabetic nephropathy.
R failure is a common and serious complication of longstanding diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is now the most common cause of end-stage renal failure requiring dialysis in the United States, accounting for almost 40% of all new dialysis patients (1). Moreover, the incidence of renal failure caused by diabetes, particularly type II diabetes, is rising dramatically worldwide (2). Compounding the tra...
متن کاملThe Role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGFβ1) in Nasal and Paranasal Sinuses Polyposis
Background and Objectives: Nasal polyposis is a diseases resulting from complex pathogenetic mechanisms. Some studies showed that TGFβ1 had significant role in this pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the roe of cytokines and mediators in polyp development. Material and Methods: In this case- control study, healthy nasal mucosal samples were obtained from 24 peopl...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β1 and diabetic nephropathy.
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is established to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. The diabetic milieu enhances oxidative stress and induces the expression of TGF-β1. TGF-β1 promotes cell hypertrophy and extracellular matrix accumulation in the mesangium, which decreases glomerular filtration rate and leads to chronic renal failure. Recently, TGF-β1 has been demon...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta in human diabetic nephropathy: effects of ACE inhibition.
OBJECTIVE Studies in rodent models have suggested that reduction in renal transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 may underlie the renoprotective effects of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade. However, the role of the RAS blockade in abrogating TGF-beta in human disease is unknown. Accordingly, we sought to examine TGF-beta gene expression and biological activity in human renal biopsies...
متن کاملChanges of transforming growth factor beta 1 in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
BACKGROUND The existing evidence indicates increased levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and those with type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN); yet no meta-analysis displays a reliable result. Here we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate characteristic changes of TGF-β1 in T2DM and diabetic nephropathy. METHODS A systematic search...
