All-trans-retinoic acid inhibits the development of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in interleukin-6 transgenic mice.
All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), a vitamin A derivative, was reported to suppress the interleukin-6 (IL-6) production and to downregulate the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and/or its signal transducer glycoprotein 130. We investigated the in vivo antinephritic effect of ATRA on IL-6 transgenic mice which had developed mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (PGN) as well as its in vitro inhibitory ef...
متن کاملGene expression profile in experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
We analyzed gene expression in rat anti-Thy1 antibody-induced glomerulonephritis by using the cDNA microarray method. Ninety-seven genes that differed by more than 1.5-fold intensity in comparison with the controls were selected. Cluster analysis showed that the expression of genes associated with inflammation reached maximum levels at 24 h, while genes involved in the development of fibrosis i...
متن کاملOxidative stress in the pathogenesis of experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly believed to be important intracellular signaling molecules in mitogenic pathways involved in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis (GN). We explored the effects of the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid and N-acetyl-l-cysteine on ERK activation in cultured mesangial cells and the role of ERK activation in the severity of glomerular injury in a rat mod...
متن کاملIgM associated primary diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
Twenty-three cases of IgM associated primary diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis are presented. In 18, IgM was the sole localising host immunoglobulin, and it was the predominant globulin in five; C3 was also present in 18. Light microscopy revealed variable diffuse and global mesangial proliferation in all cases, with additional focal global sclerosis in 16, focal segmental scle...
متن کاملThe role of the mesangial cell in proliferative glomerulonephritis.
In 40 patients with a histological diagnosis of proliferative glomerulonephritis the deposition of immunoglobulins, complement (C(3)), and fibrin/fibrinogen has been assessed by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. The results of such examinations have been correlated with the outcome of the illness. In minor or resolving disease there is usually minor functional impairment, a good respo...
