Tangeretin protects renal tubular epithelial cells against experimental cisplatin toxicity
Objective(s): Cisplatin is an effective antineoplastic agent; its clinical utility, however, is limited by a few salient toxic side effects like nephrotoxicity. This study aimed to determine the potential protective effects of tangeretin, a citrus-derived flavonoid, against renal tubular cell injury in cisplatin-induced renal toxicity of rats.Materials and Methods: Tangeretin was injected intra...
متن کاملAlbumin handling by proximal tubular cells: mechanisms and mediators.
Clinical nephrologists have long recognized the associAfter binding, albumin reabsorption occurs by endocytosis into an intracellular vesicular trafficking system, ation between heavy proteinuria and the tendency for progression of renal failure. Progressive renal impairwith delivery of the majority of the reabsorbed albumin ment is characterized by progressive interstitial scarring to a lysoso...
متن کاملA modular microfluidic bioreactor with improved throughput for evaluation of polarized renal epithelial cells
Most current microfluidic cell culture systems are integrated single use devices. This can limit throughput and experimental design options, particularly for epithelial cells, which require significant time in culture to obtain a fully differentiated phenotype. In addition, epithelial cells require a porous growth substrate in order to fully polarize their distinct apical and basolateral membra...
متن کاملDownregulation of SGK1 by nucleotides in renal tubular epithelial cells.
This study determined whether nucleotides that bind to purinergic receptors (P2R) regulate the expression or function of serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase-1 (SGK1) in mouse renal inner medullar collecting duct cells (mIMCD-3). The SGK1 protein was detected by Western blotting. A significant reduction of cytosolic SGK1 expression was observed in the cells pretreated with P2R agonist ade...
متن کاملStem Cell Conditioned Culture Media Attenuated Albumin-Induced Epithelial– Mesenchymal Transition in Renal Tubular Cells
BACKGROUND Proteinuria-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in progressive renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in chronic renal disease. Stem cell therapy has been used for different diseases. Stem cell conditioned culture media (SCM) exhibits similar beneficial effects as stem cell therapy. The present study tested the hypothesis that SCM inhibits albumin-induc...
