Linagliptin Ameliorates Methylglyoxal-Induced Peritoneal Fibrosis in Mice
Recent studies have reported increases of methylglyoxal (MGO) in peritoneal dialysis patients, and that MGO-mediated inflammation plays an important role in the development of peritoneal fibrosis through production of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, exerts anti-inflammatory effects independent of blood glucose levels. In this study, we ex...
متن کاملInhibition of H3K9 methyltransferase G9a ameliorates methylglyoxal-induced peritoneal fibrosis
Activity of H3K9 histone methyltransferase G9a is reportedly induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and plays an important role in the progression of cancer and fibrosis. In this study, we investigated whether inhibition of G9a-mediated H3K9 methylation attenuates peritoneal fibrosis in mice and human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Nonadherent cells of peritoneal dialysis (PD)...
متن کاملAliskiren prevents and ameliorates metabolic syndrome in fructose-fed rats
INTRODUCTION The renin-angiotensin system plays a major role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, on the metabolic syndrome of fructose-fed rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 6 for each group). Group Con: rats were fed a standard chow diet for 8...
متن کاملGelatin as a Chlorhexidine Digluconate Immobilizing Agent
Periodontal diseases are a diversified group of clinical entities, described as pathologies of a multifactorial nature, in which the induction of an inflammatory process that destroys the fixation apparatus, loss of the alveolar bone and, if untreated, in the loss of the dental element. Among the wide variety of drugs used in the treatment of periodontal disease, chlorhexidine demonstrated to b...
متن کاملPeriostin-Binding DNA Aptamer Treatment Ameliorates Peritoneal Dialysis-Induced Peritoneal Fibrosis
Peritoneal fibrosis is a major complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, which leads to dialysis discontinuation. Periostin, increased by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) stimulation, induces the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes. Aberrant periostin expression has been demonstrated to be associated with PD-related peritoneal fibrosis. Therefore, the effect of periost...
