Beraprost sodium, a prostacyclin (PGI) analogue, ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced cellular injury in lung alveolar epithelial cells.
BACKGROUND/AIM Human alveolar epithelial cells play a critical role in the pathogenesis of lung diseases. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of beraprost sodium, a prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) analogue, to inflammatory and oxidative events in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in airway epithelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (A...
متن کاملCisplatin-induced renal injury in LLC-PK1 cells
Nephrotoxicity is one of the important adverse effects induced by cisplatin (CDDP), a potent anticancer drug. CDDP causes a disorder of renal proximal tubules. So, we evaluated mechanisms of renal tubular injury induced by CDDP using established epithelial cell line, LLC-PK1, which is characteristic of renal proximal tubular epithelium. LLC-PK1 cells were incubated in culture media except CDDP ...
متن کاملSodium butyrate increases glucose transporter expression in LLC-PK1 cells.
The effect of sodium butyrate on the expression of the facilitated glucose transporter (GT) was investigated in the pig kidney cell line LLC-PK1. When cells were treated with butyrate, GT mRNA expression was remarkably enhanced with a maximal effect at 5 mM. Levels of GT mRNA were increased at 1 day after butyrate treatment and continued to increase for at least 4 days; however, acetate and pro...
متن کاملGentamicin Induced Apoptosis of Renal Tubular Epithelial (LLC-PK1) Cells
Nephrotoxicity is a major limiting factor in the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics, the mechanisms for which are still speculative. To clarify the mechanisms of renal tubular cell death induced by aminoglycosides, we examined the renal proximal tubule-like cell line, LLC-PK1, after inducing apoptosis through a chronic treatment with gentamicin (GM). Changes in the expression of the Fas were als...
متن کاملProtective effect of beraprost sodium, a stable prostacyclin analog, in the development of cigarette smoke extract-induced emphysema.
Chronic inflammation, imbalance of proteolytic and anti-proteolytic activities, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of lung structural cells contribute to the pathogenesis of COPD. Prostacyclin protects cells against apoptosis, has anti-inflammatory properties, partially prevents cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced apoptosis of the pulmonary endothelium, and thus may be relevant in the pathogenes...
