AM251 Suppresses Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells is one of the causative mechanisms of kidney fibrosis. In our study, we screened lipophilic compounds using a lipid library including approximately 200 lipids to identify those that suppressed EMT induced by a transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 stimulus. Initial screening was performed with the immortalized HK-2 renal tu...
متن کاملTangeretin 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 کاملPaired box 2 induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in normal renal tubular epithelial cells of rats.
Epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) is considered to be a crucial stage of renal fibrosis. Previous studies have indicated that paired box 2 (PAX2) affects renal fibrosis, likely by regulating EMT. Therefore, we examined whether PAX2 directly induces normal renal tubular EMT in vitro. Recombinant PAX2 plasmid was transfected into a renal tubular epithelial cell line (NRK52E) derived from no...
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...
متن کاملRole of microRNA-29b in angiotensin II-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in renal tubular epithelial cells.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been proven to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The aim of the present study was to determine the role of microRNA-29b (miR-29b) during Ang II-induced EMT. For this purpose, we used spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The levels of Ang II and its receptor in the kidneys of the SHRs are significantly higher th...
