Angiotensin III increases monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression in cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells
BACKGROUND/AIMS We investigated whether angiotensin III (Ang III) is involved in monocyte recruitment through regulation of the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells). METHODS We measured MCP-1 levels in HK-2 cells that had been treated with various concentrations of Ang III and Ang II type-1 (AT1) receptor antagon...
متن کاملUrine Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1(UMCP-1) as a Biomarker of Renal Involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Objective(s)Lupus nephritis (LN) is frequently associated with a poor long-term prognosis. Renal biopsy is the diagnostic method of choice in this condition. Urine biomarkers have been mentioned in the diagnosis of LN. The study,s purpose was to evaluate the performance of urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(UMCP-1) as a biomarker of renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus.Mate...
متن کاملVascular Smooth Muscle Cells Angiotensin II Induces Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Gene Expression in Rat
Monocyte infiltration into the vessel wall, a key initial step in the process of atherosclerosis, is mediated in part by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Hypertension, particularly in the presence of an activated renin-angiotensin system, is a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. To investigate a potential molecular basis for a link between hypertension and ather...
متن کاملInhibition of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression in cytokine-treated human lung epithelial cells by thiazolidinedione.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Several lung diseases are characterized by the presence of increased numbers of activated macrophages. The recruitment and activation of peripheral blood monocytes are potentially critical regulatory events for the control of pulmonary inflammation. The chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 is a potent chemoattractant for monocytes. MCP-1 is produced by lung epithel...
