A Nanoconjugate Apaf-1 Inhibitor Protects Mesothelial Cells from Cytokine-Induced Injury
BACKGROUND Inflammation may lead to tissue injury. We have studied the modulation of inflammatory milieu-induced tissue injury, as exemplified by the mesothelium. Peritoneal dialysis is complicated by peritonitis episodes that cause loss of mesothelium. Proinflammatory cytokines are increased in the peritoneal cavity during peritonitis episodes. However there is scarce information on the modula...
متن کاملHeat shock response protects human peritoneal mesothelial cells from dialysate-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial injury.
BACKGROUND Chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the major therapies for uremic patients. However, the peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) are subject to the injury by bioincompatible dialysates. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective roles and mechanisms of heat shock response in PMCs. METHODS Primary cultured human PMCs (HPMCs) were subjected to commercial peritoneal di...
متن کاملSelective Rac-1 inhibition protects from diabetes-induced vascular injury.
Diabetes mellitus is a main risk factor for vascular diseases. Vascular injury induced by diabetes mellitus is characterized by endothelial dysfunction attributable to an increased oxidative stress. So far, the molecular mechanisms involved in the vasculotoxic effects of diabetes are only partially known. We examined the effect of diabetes mellitus on oxidative stress and Rac-1 activation, a sm...
متن کاملThioredoxin-1 Protects Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Hyperoxia-Induced Injury In Vitro
Background The poor survival rate of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) transplanted into recipient lungs greatly limits their therapeutic efficacy for diseases like bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) overexpression on improving the potential for bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) to confer resistance agains...
متن کاملA novel plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 inhibitor, TM5441, protects against high-fat diet-induced obesity and adipocyte injury in mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Obesity is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide, and dysregulated adipocyte function plays an important role in obesity-associated metabolic disorder. The level of plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is increased in obese subjects, and PAI-1 null mice show improved insulin sensitivity when subjected to high-fat and high-sucrose diet-induced me...
