Myofibroblast phenotypes expression in experimental renal scarring.
BACKGROUND Myofibroblasts have been implicated in the pathogenesis of wound healing and tissue fibrosis. A role has also been put forward for these cells in the development of experimental and clinical renal scarring. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We examined the expression of myofibroblast phenotypes by immunohistochemistry, relying on an avidin-biotin-peroxidase method, during the course of renal sc...
متن کاملSpecific antagonism of PDGF prevents renal scarring in experimental glomerulonephritis.
Glomerular mesangial cell proliferation and/or mesangial matrix accumulation characterizes many progressive renal diseases. Rats with progressive mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis were treated from day 3 to day 7 after disease induction with a high-affinity oligonucleotide aptamer antagonist against platelet-derived growth factor-B chain (PDGF-B). In comparison with nephritic rats that r...
متن کاملExpression of apoptosis-related genes and proteins in experimental chronic renal scarring.
Apoptosis has been proposed to play an important role in the progression of renal scarring. The mechanisms that determine whether a cell enters the apoptotic program are complex. Bax and Bcl-2 are recognized modulators of this event; their relative levels determine the fate of cells. A role for apoptosis in the progression of renal scarring in the remnant kidneys of rats submitted to subtotal n...
متن کاملBacteriuria, reflux, and renal scarring
Much of the confusion in the discussion of these topics reflects differences of nomenclature not of fact, and a failure to relate the wide variation in severity both of reflux and of renal damage to their long-term implications. In this article, significant bacteriuria denotes the presence of actively multiplying organisms in the urinary tract and is indicated in girls by a pure growth of at le...
متن کاملRenal scarring and vesicoureteric reflux.
A review of 105 children with urinary tract infection showed an increasing prevalence of grades II-III vesicoureteric reflux with diminishing age. During infancy reflux was almost always severe, and affected boys as often as girls. Radiologically scarred kidneys were drained by refluxing ureters in 98% of cases. The prevalence of scars also rose significantly with increasinglyly severe reflux. ...
