Expression of nephrin in the human placenta and fetal membranes.
Nephrin is the signature molecule in the podocyte of the glomerulus that forms the renal slit diaphragm, the main functional unit of the glomerulus. The present study focused on the expression of nephrin in the human placenta, which may also have a role in filtration and the maintenance of homeostasis in the kidneys. A total of nine placentas from normal healthy pregnant females at full term we...
متن کاملDifferential expression of subunits in DRG neurons
Background: Auxiliary subunits regulate the voltage-gated sodium channels of DRG neurons. Results: subunits are differentially expressed in subpopulations of DRG neurons and regulate Nav1.7 channels in an isoform-specific manor. Conclusions: Differential subunit expression and isoform-specific regulation has important implications for the sodium currents of DRG neurons. Significance: su...
متن کاملDifferential expression of integrin subunits on adherent and nonadherent mast cells.
Mast cell progenitors arise in bone marrow and then migrate to peripheral tissues where they mature. It is presumed that integrin receptors are involved in their migration and homing. In the present study, the expression of various integrin subunits was investigated in three systems of adherent and nonadherent mast cells. Mesentery mast cells, freshly isolated bone marrow-derived mast cells (BM...
متن کاملRole for 1 Integrin and Its Associated 3, 5, and 6 Subunits in Development of the Human Fetal Pancreas
The integrin receptors play a major role in tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis by regulating cell interactions with extracellular matrix proteins. We have examined the expression pattern of integrin subunits in the human fetal pancreas (8–20 weeks fetal age) and the relevance of 1 integrin function for insulin gene expression and islet cell survival. Its subunits 3, 5, and 6 1 integrins are e...
متن کاملDifferential expression of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase types 1 and 2 in human placenta and fetal membranes.
Two isoforms of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta HSD) are present in mammals. 11 beta HSD1 interconverts biologically active cortisol and inactive cortisone, whereas 11 beta HSD2 only converts cortisol to cortisone. Placental 11 beta HSD has been proposed to protect the fetus from high level of maternal glucocorticoids. Although bidirectional activity of 11 beta HSD has been demons...
