Glomerular Mesangial Cells
Glomerular mesangial cell (MC)-derived IL-1 may be an important factor in the development of the hypercellularity and sclerosis characteristic of many forms of glomerulonephritis. To define the regulation of IL-I synthesis by human MC, Northern blot analyses were performed using specific probes for monocytic IL-1 a and 8 mRNA. Proliferating MC expressed mRNA for both IL-1 a and ft, whereas nonp...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 in traumatic brain injury patients on parenteral nutrition
Objective(s):Hyperglycemia worsens the neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated that diabetic hyperglycemia suppressed the expression of heat shock protein 70 and 60 (HSP70 and 60) in the liver. IgG antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 (anti HSP27) were measured to determine whether hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain damage by suppressing the exp...
متن کاملHeat shock protein 27 controls apoptosis by regulating Akt activation.
Activation of the serine-threonine kinase Akt by cytokines, chemokines, and bacterial products delays constitutive neutrophil apoptosis, resulting in a prolonged inflammatory response. We showed previously that Akt exists in a signaling complex with p38 MAPK, MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK-2), and heat shock protein-27 (Hsp27); and Hsp27 dissociates from the complex upon neutrophil ac...
متن کاملReductive stress: linking heat shock protein 27, glutathione, and cardiomyopathy?
Normal cellular functions essentially depend on a balanced redox environment. Free radicals and nonradical oxidants can shift the redox balance toward a more “oxidized” state, which is counteracted by the intracellular antioxidant defense systems. These include the enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase, as well as the thiol-reducing systems (glutathione, glutaredoxin, and thioredoxin). Glut...
متن کاملRetinal preconditioning and the induction of heat-shock protein 27.
PURPOSE Brief periods of ischemia have been shown to protect the retina from potentially damaging periods of ischemia. This phenomenon has been termed ischemic preconditioning or ischemic tolerance. In the present study the cellular changes in levels of heat shock protein (Hsp)27, -70, and -90 mRNA and expression of Hsp in the rat retina associated with ischemic preconditioning were evaluated. ...
