Nicotine-Induced Apoptosis in Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells
BACKGROUND Nicotine is, to a large extent, responsible for smoking-mediated renal dysfunction. This study investigated nicotine's effects on renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in vitro and it explored the mechanisms underlying its effects. METHODS Human proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells were treated with nicotine. Cell viability was examined by using the WST-1 assay. Intracellular...
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 کاملProtective effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonists on activated renal proximal tubular epithelial cells in IgA nephropathy.
BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated a glomerulo-tubular 'crosstalk' operating in the pathogenesis of tubulointerstitial injury in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The present study aims to explore any possible beneficial effect of a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist in alleviating the tubulointerstitial inflammation in IgAN. METHODS Human proximal tubular epi...
متن کاملCytotoxic effects of p-cresol in renal epithelial tubular cells.
BACKGROUND The uremic syndrome is characterized by a deterioration of kidney function due to the accumulation of uremic toxins. Currently, 100 different uremic toxins have been identified. Uremic toxins are particularly difficult to remove by conventional dialysis treatments and are the major causes of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). p-Cresol is a well-known uremic toxi...
متن کاملCyclosporine A induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells.
BACKGROUND Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a relatively common and sinister complication of cyclosporine A (CsA) therapy that limits its clinical use. CsA may have direct effects on renal tubular epithelial cells by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT plays an important role in embryonic development and tumourigenesis and has been described in organ remodelling during fibrogen...
