Cilastatin attenuates cisplatin-induced proximal tubular cell damage.
A major area in cancer therapy is the search for protective strategies against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. We investigated the protective effect of cilastatin on cisplatin-induced injury to renal proximal tubular cells. Cilastatin is a specific inhibitor of renal dehydrodipeptidase I (DHP-I), which prevents hydrolysis of imipenem and its accumulation in the proximal tubule. Primary cultur...
متن کاملBMP-7 modulates hyaluronan-mediated proximal tubular cell-monocyte interaction.
Increased synthesis of hyaluronan (HA) in the renal corticointerstitium has been documented in renal injury, although the functional significance of this is unclear. The aim of the work presented in the current study was to examine the role of HA in monocyte binding by proximal tubular cells (PTC). Using the PTC line HK-2, the authors show that unstimulated cells formed pericellular HA cable-li...
متن کاملAldosterone promotes proximal tubular cell apoptosis: role of oxidative stress.
Aldosterone has attracted significant consideration for its role in the progression of renal injury. Since apoptotic cell loss contributes to the deterioration of renal function, we examined the effect of aldosterone on tubular cell apoptosis. To determine dose and time course effect, human renal proximal tubular (HK2) cells were treated with aldosterone at different doses and for variable time...
متن کاملSex Differences in Renal Proximal Tubular Cell Homeostasis.
Studies in human patients and animals have revealed sex-specific differences in susceptibility to renal diseases. Because actions of female sex hormones on normal renal tissue might protect against damage, we searched for potential influences of the female hormone cycle on basic renal functions by studying excretion of urinary marker proteins in healthy human probands. We collected second morni...
متن کاملLoss of tubular creatinine secretion as the only sign of tubular proximal cell dysfunction in light chain proximal tubulopathy
Light chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT) is a rare disease, characterized by cytoplasmic inclusions of light chain (usually kappa) immunoglobulins. Clinical presentation is usually a Fanconi syndrome. The proximal tubular dysfunction can be incomplete, and exceptional cases of LCPT without any tubular dysfunction have even been described. Here, we report a case of LCPT in which the only sign of ...
