Tangeretin protects renal tubular epithelial cells against experimental cisplatin toxicity
Objective(s): Cisplatin is an effective antineoplastic agent; its clinical utility, however, is limited by a few salient toxic side effects like nephrotoxicity. This study aimed to determine the potential protective effects of tangeretin, a citrus-derived flavonoid, against renal tubular cell injury in cisplatin-induced renal toxicity of rats.Materials and Methods: Tangeretin was injected intra...
متن کاملShear Stress-Induced Alteration of Epithelial Organization in Human Renal Tubular Cells
Tubular epithelial cells in the kidney are continuously exposed to urinary fluid shear stress (FSS) generated by urine movement and recent in vitro studies suggest that changes of FSS could contribute to kidney injury. However it is unclear whether FSS alters the epithelial characteristics of the renal tubule. Here, we evaluated in vitro and in vivo the influence of FSS on epithelial characteri...
متن کاملShear stress reverses dome formation in confluent renal tubular cells.
BACKGROUND/AIMS It has been shown that MDCK cells, a cell line derived from canine renal tubules, develop cell domes due to fluid pumped under cell monolayer and focal detachment from the adhesion surface. In vitro studies have shown that primary cilia of kidney tubular epithelial cells act as mechanosensors, increasing intracellular calcium within seconds upon changes in fluid shear stress (SS...
متن کاملEnhancement of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Barrier Function by the Immunosuppressant Drugs Cyclosporine A and Sirolimus
The primary function of the kidney includes the elimination of waste products and the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte composition of the body. The functioning unit of the kidney is the nephron including the glomerulus with a filtration function and the tubule with a reabsorption and secretion function. The fluid and electrolyte homeostasis is achieved largely through selective, vectorial t...
متن کاملAM251 Suppresses Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells is one of the causative mechanisms of kidney fibrosis. In our study, we screened lipophilic compounds using a lipid library including approximately 200 lipids to identify those that suppressed EMT induced by a transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 stimulus. Initial screening was performed with the immortalized HK-2 renal tu...
