Response of lens epithelial cells to injury: role of lumican in epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
PURPOSE Lens epithelial cells (LECs) undergo epithelial-mesenchcymal transition (EMT) after injury and transform into myofibroblasts positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA), an established marker of this process. Lumican is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan core protein. This study was conducted to examine whether human and mouse LECs express lumican after injury. To determine whether lu...
متن کاملMAPK activation determines renal epithelial cell survival during oxidative injury.
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury induces both functional and morphological changes in the kidney. Necrosis, predominantly of the proximal tubule (PT), is the hallmark of this model of renal injury, whereas cells of the distal nephron survive, apparently intact. We examined whether differences in cellular outcome of the various regions of the nephron may be due to segmental variation in the act...
متن کاملRole of aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes in the defense of rat lens and human lens epithelial cells against oxidative stress.
PURPOSE 4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE), a metastable lipid peroxidation product, is highly toxic to various cell types if not detoxified. Because of its constant exposure to light, the ocular lens continuously generates reactive oxygen species which, under conditions of oxidative stress, may lead to excessive lipid peroxidation and consequent formation of lipid-derived aldehydes (LDAs) such as HNE. The...
متن کاملRole of caspases in renal tubular epithelial cell injury.
The regulation of cell death has been investigated in a number of clinical disorders including renal ischemic and toxic acute renal failure. Caspases play a crucial role in the execution or final phase of cell death by cleaving and inactivating various structural and functional intracellular proteins that are essential for cell survival and proliferation. Evidence is now emerging to implicate t...
متن کاملCytoprotective effects of proteasome β5 subunit overexpression in lens epithelial cells
PURPOSE To determine whether the overexpression of the proteasome catalytic beta5 subunit (PSMB5) can induce the expression of the catalytic subunits beta1 and beta2, enhance proteasome activity, and exert a cytoprotective effect in lens epithelial cells. METHODS Cells from the human lens epithelial cell line SRA01/04 (LECs) were stably transfected either with a plasmid expressing the proteas...
