Platelet-derived growth factor-D promotes fibrogenesis of cardiac fibroblasts.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-D is a newly recognized member of the PDGF family with its role just now being understood. Our previous study shows that PDGF-D and its receptors (PDGFR-β) are significantly increased in the infarcted heart, where PDGFR-β is primarily expressed by fibroblasts, indicating the involvement of PDGF-D in the development of cardiac fibrosis. In continuing with th...
متن کاملHypoxia Preconditioning Promotes Survival And Clonogenic Capacity Of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background: In recent decade, human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) provide enormous potential for appropriate cell therapy, but they have limited growth potential and cease to proliferate due to cellular senescence, so providing a strategy for increasing the stem cell survival is necessary. Methods: In this investigation, MSCs characterized by flow cytome...
متن کاملHypoxia, hypoxia-inducible factors and fibrogenesis in chronic liver diseases.
Fibrogenic progression of chronic liver diseases (CLDs) towards the end-point of cirrhosis is currently regarded, whatever the aetiology, as a dynamic and highly integrated cellular response to chronic liver injury. Liver fibrogenesis (i.e., the process) is sustained by hepatic populations of highly proliferative, pro-fibrogenic and contractile myofibroblast-like cells (MFs) that mainly origina...
متن کاملActivation of Sirtuin-1 Promotes Renal Fibroblast Activation and Aggravates Renal Fibrogenesis.
Although activation of sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) has been shown to protect the kidney from acute injury, its role in renal fibrosis remains controversial since both inhibition and activation of SIRT1 have been reported to attenuate renal fibrosis. To resolve this conflict, we further examined the effect of SIRT1 activators on the activation of renal interstitial fibroblasts and development of renal fib...
متن کاملCannabinoids inhibit fibrogenesis in diffuse systemic sclerosis fibroblasts.
OBJECTIVE It has been demonstrated that the endocannabinoid system is up-regulated in pathologic fibrosis and that modulation of the cannabinoid receptors might limit the progression of uncontrolled fibrogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 could modulate fibrogenesis in an in vitro model of dcSSc. METHODS The express...
