Involvement of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 on angiotensin II-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression.
OBJECTIVE Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) could contribute to enhanced leukocyte recruitment and activation resulting in chronic tissue damage. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of cardiac MCP-1 expression. To elucidate these molecular mechanisms, angiotensin II-induced expression of MCP-1 was examined in cultured rat neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes and fibr...
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 کاملRho-kinase mediates angiotensin II-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression in rat vascular smooth muscle cells.
Recently, it was shown that Rho-kinase plays an important role in blood pressure regulation. However, it is not known whether Rho-kinase is involved in atherogenesis. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is an important chemokine that regulates monocyte recruitment and atherogenesis. Therefore, we examined the role of Rho and Rho-kinase in the angiotensin (Ang) II-induced expression of MC...
متن کاملMonocyte chemoattractant protein 1 mediates retinal detachment-induced photoreceptor apoptosis.
Photoreceptor apoptosis is a major cause of visual loss in retinal detachment (RD) and several other visual disorders, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Recently, increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) was reported in vitreous humor samples of patients with RD and diabetic retinopathy as well as in the brain tissues of patients with neurodegenerative dise...
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...
