Urantide improves atherosclerosis by controlling C-reactive protein, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and transforming growth factor-β expression in rats
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of urantide on the expression status of C-reactive protein (CRP) and the inflammatory cytokines monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in the aortas of rats with atherosclerosis (AS), and to identify its underlying mechanisms. The effects of urantide in a rat model of AS and in cultured rat vascular...
متن کاملCalcium oxalate monohydrate crystals stimulate monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and transforming growth factor β1 expression in human renal epithelial cells.
Crystal-cell interactions play a key role in the formation of kidney stones. Few studies have referred to the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) in kidney stone formation. Recently, a genome-wide analysis of genes related to kidney stone formation and eliminiation in mice indicated that MCP-1 and TGFβ1 are involved in nephrolithiasis. In...
متن کاملAdrenergic regulation of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 leads to enhanced macrophage recruitment and ovarian carcinoma growth
Increased adrenergic signaling facilitates tumor progression, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We examined factors responsible for stress-mediated effects on monocyte/macrophage recruitment into the tumor microenvironment, and the resultant effects on tumor growth. In vitro, MCP1 was significantly increased after catecholamine exposure, which was mediated by cAMP and PKA....
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β1 and diabetic nephropathy.
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is established to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. The diabetic milieu enhances oxidative stress and induces the expression of TGF-β1. TGF-β1 promotes cell hypertrophy and extracellular matrix accumulation in the mesangium, which decreases glomerular filtration rate and leads to chronic renal failure. Recently, TGF-β1 has been demon...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β1 in plaque morphea
INTRODUCTION Morphea (localized scleroderma) is a rare cutaneous disease characterized by skin fibrosis of unknown pathogenesis. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a potent profibrotic factor. The role of TGF-β in morphea remains unclear. AIM The goal of this study was to estimate the expression level of TGF-β1 in skin and peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as the plasma levels o...
