BACKGROUND HIV-associated nephropathy is accompanied by significant tubular alterations in the form of tubular cell proliferation, apoptosis, and microcystic dilatation. In the present study we evaluated the role of CD4 receptors in HIV-1-induced tubular cell injury. METHODS To confirm the presence of CD4 receptors in tubular cells, immunocytochemical, Western and Northern blot studies were c...
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) can orchestrate an inflammatory response upon activation by pathogen-associated motifs and release of endogenous stress ligands during tissue injury. The kidney constitutively expresses most TLRs, including TLR4. The function of TLR4 during the inflammation, tubular atrophy, and fibrosis that accompany progressive renal injury is unknown. Here, we subjected wild-type ...
Although heat shock protein 72 kDa (HSP72) protects tubular epithelium from a variety of acute insults, its role in chronic renal injury and fibrosis is poorly characterized. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that HSP72 reduces apoptosis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), important contributors to tubular cell injury in vitro and in vivo. In rats, orally administered geranylg...
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of a type I collagen-derived artificial tubular implant on sciatic nerve regeneration. Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat sciatic nerve injury model was built by cutting a 5.0 mm defect on the sciatic nerve of the right thigh. Rats with sciatic nerve injury were treated with type I collagen-derived artificial tubular implants (Group A), autologous c...
The use of cyclosporine A (CsA) is limited by its severe nephrotoxicity that includes reversible vasoconstrictor effects and proximal tubule cell injury, the latter associated whith chronic kidney disease progression. The mechanisms of CsA-induced tubular injury, mainly on the S3 segment, have not been completely elucidated. Kidney androgen-regulated protein (KAP) is exclusively expressed in ki...
Methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive alpha-oxoaldehyde generated by oxidation of carbohydrate and glycolysis, binds to proteins and forms advanced glycation end products (AGE). MG and MG adducts have been implicated in oxidative stress-related diseases, therefore, MG detoxifying system such as the glyoxalase system (glyoxalase I) also contributes to progression of these diseases. Recent papers...
The aged population suffers increased morbidity and higher mortality in response to episodes of acute kidney injury (AKI). Aging is associated with telomere shortening, and both telomerase reverse transcriptase (TerT) and RNA (TerC) are essential to maintain telomere length. To define a role of telomerase deficiency in susceptibility to AKI, we used ischemia/reperfusion injury in wild-type mice...
This study reports the evaluation of four urinary biomarkers of renal toxicity, α-glutathione-S-transferase (α-GST), μ-GST, clusterin, and renal papillary antigen-1 (RPA-1), in male Sprague-Dawley and Han-Wistar rats given cisplatin, gentamicin, or N-phenylanthranilic acid (NPAA). Kidney injury was diagnosed histopathologically, according to site/nature of renal injury, and graded for severity....
During renal fibrogenesis, tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition is closely associated with peritubular inflammation; however, it is not clear whether these two processes are connected. We previously identified the inhibitor of differentiation-1 (Id1), a dominant negative antagonist of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, as a major trigger of tubular cell dedifferentiation after i...
Kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is characterized by renal dysfunction and tubular damages resulting from an early activation of innate immunity. Recently, nicotine administration has been shown to be a powerful inhibitor of a variety of innate immune responses, including LPS-induced toxaemia. This cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway acts via the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine recepto...
