S100A9 aggravates bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis in mice via activation of ERK1/2 MAPK and NF-κB pathways
Objective(s): This study aims to investigate the pathogenicity and possible mechanisms of S100A9 function in mice models of scleroderma. Materials and Methods: The content of S100A9 in the skin tissues of mice with scleroderma was determined. Different concentrations of bleomycin (BLM) and S100A9 were subcutaneously injected into the backs of mice simultaneously, and then pathological changes i...
متن کاملTGF-β/Smad signaling in renal fibrosis
TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) is well identified as a central mediator in renal fibrosis. TGF-β initiates canonical and non-canonical pathways to exert multiple biological effects. Among them, Smad signaling is recognized as a major pathway of TGF-β signaling in progressive renal fibrosis. During fibrogenesis, Smad3 is highly activated, which is associated with the down-regulation of an ...
متن کاملBaicalin and baicalein attenuate renal fibrosis in vitro via inhibition of the TGF-β1 signaling pathway
Baicalin and baicalein are flavonoid compounds derived from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. These compounds have been used in the treatment of numerous diseases, including fibrotic diseases. However, research regarding their antifibrotic effects and mechanism of action in renal fibrosis is limited. In the present study, normal rat kidney interstitial fibroblast (NRK-49F) cells were stimulated w...
متن کاملGQ5 Hinders Renal Fibrosis in Obstructive Nephropathy by Selectively Inhibiting TGF-β-Induced Smad3 Phosphorylation.
TGF-β1, via Smad-dependent or Smad-independent signaling, has a central role in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis. This pathway has been recognized as a potential target for antifibrotic therapy. Here, we identified GQ5, a small molecular phenolic compound isolated from the dried resin of Toxicodendron vernicifluum, as a potent and selective inhibitor of TGF-β1-induced Smad3 phosphorylation. I...
متن کاملNMDA preconditioning protects against quinolinic acid-induced seizures via PKA, PI3K and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways
Preconditioning by N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) may be promoted in vivo by the administration of a sub-convulsing dose of NMDA, with a neuroprotective effect against seizures and neuronal death induced by the infusion of quinolinic acid (QA) in mice. This study aimed to evaluate the participation of protein kinase C (PKC), cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), mitogen-activated protein kina...
