Thromboxane A2, prostaglandins, and mesangial cell proliferation.
Much work has recently focused upon the cellular involvement of the mesangium in glomerular inflammation and fibrosclerosis. A host of mediators of inflammation have been identified and their actions studied in mesangial cell cultures [1]. The recent identification of functional receptors for prostaglandins (PG) and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) in cultured glomerular mesangial cells [2, 3] has prompte...
متن کاملThromboxane A2 modulates the fibrinolytic system in glomerular mesangial cells.
We examined the effects of thromboxane A2(TxA2) on the activities of the plasminogen-plasmin system in glomerular mesangial cells. When mesangial cells are exposed to the TxA2 agonist U-46619, a substantial increase in production of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) protein is observed that is significantly greater than that induced by 10% serum alone. This increase in PAI-1 protein pro...
متن کاملCell signalling through thromboxane A2 receptors.
Thromboxane A2 receptors (TPs) are widely distributed among different organ systems and have been localized on both cell membranes and intracellular structures. Following the initial cloning of this receptor class from human placenta, the deduced amino acid sequence predicted seven-transmembrane spanning regions, four extracellular domains and four intracellular domains, making TP a member of t...
متن کاملThromboxane A2, and ADP
In monkeys with early and advanced atherosclerosis, we examined responses to the three major vasoactive agonists that are released when platelets aggregate. Measurements were obtained in normal cynomolgus monkeys and in monkeys fed an atherogenic diet for 4+1, 9±1, and 19±1 months (mean± SEM). Morphometry of femoral and iliac arteries indicated that 4 months of atherogenic diet produced only sl...
متن کاملRegulation of cytoplasmic calcium: interactions between prostaglandins, prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, zinc, copper and taurine.
The regulation of cytoplasmic calcium is a key process in nerve tissue. Using a smooth muscle model we have shown that prostaglandin (PG) E2 probably regulates entry from extracellular fluid, whereas the release from intracellular stores depends on the interplay between thromboxane (TX) A2, PGEI and prostacyclin. Hormones and other agents interact with this system in the following ways: vasopre...
