Allicin inhibits tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation under high glucose conditions in vitro.
Previous studies have suggested that tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important event in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis, which is a clinical characteristic of diabetic nephropathy. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of allicin, the major biological active component of garlic, on the EMT of a human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2) cultured...
متن کاملBMP-7 enhances SnoN mRNA expression in renal tubular epithelial cells under high-glucose conditions
The present study aimed to identify any association between bone morphogenetic protein‑7 (BMP‑7) and the expression of the transcriptional co‑repressor Ski‑related novel protein N (SnoN), in addition to alterations in tubulointerstitial fibrosis, during the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Streptozotocin was injected into the tail veins of 20 healthy and specific pathog...
متن کاملProcyanidin B2 inhibits high glucose‑induced epithelial‑mesenchymal transition in HK‑2 human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is not only an important chronic complication of diabetes, but is also one of the predominant cause of renal failure. Previous studies have indicated that the process termed 'epithelial‑mesenchymal transition' (EMT) results in fibrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells, and is key in DN. As an antioxidant, procyanidin B2 can inhibit cardiac fibrosis; however, whether i...
متن کاملGremlin Activates the Smad Pathway Linked to Epithelial Mesenchymal Transdifferentiation in Cultured Tubular Epithelial Cells
Gremlin is a developmental gene upregulated in human chronic kidney disease and in renal cells in response to transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one process involved in renal fibrosis. In tubular epithelial cells we have recently described that Gremlin induces EMT and acts as a downstream TGF-β mediator. Our aim was to investigate whether Gremlin pa...
متن کاملEffect of zinc on high glucose-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in renal tubular epithelial cells.
Zinc (Zn) as an essential dietary element has been indicated in a number of protein functions in the prevention of numerous types of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-driven fibrosis in vivo. However, relatively little is known regarding its effect in the EMT of the renal tubular epithelial cells, which play an important role in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and is an important com...
