Activation of Sirtuin-1 Promotes Renal Fibroblast Activation and Aggravates Renal Fibrogenesis.
Although activation of sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) has been shown to protect the kidney from acute injury, its role in renal fibrosis remains controversial since both inhibition and activation of SIRT1 have been reported to attenuate renal fibrosis. To resolve this conflict, we further examined the effect of SIRT1 activators on the activation of renal interstitial fibroblasts and development of renal fib...
متن کاملActivation of Wnt signaling reduces high-glucose mediated damages on skin fibroblast cells
Objective(s): High-glucose (HG) stress, a mimic of diabetes mellitus (DM) in culture cells, alters expression of a large number of genes including Wnt and NF-κB signaling-related genes; however, the role of Wnt signaling during HG-mediated fibroblast damage and the relationship between Wnt and NF-κB signaling have not been understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ffects of Wnt sig...
متن کاملCUG-binding protein 1 regulates HSC activation and liver fibrogenesis
Excessive activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a key step in liver fibrogenesis. Here we report that CUG-binding protein 1 (CUGBP1) expression is elevated in HSCs and positively correlates with liver fibrosis severity in human liver biopsies. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) selectively increases CUGBP1 expression in cultured HSCs in a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK...
متن کاملAMP-activated protein kinase/myocardin-related transcription factor-A signaling regulates fibroblast activation and renal fibrosis.
Chronic kidney disease is a major cause of death, and renal fibrosis is a common pathway leading to the progression of this disease. Although activated fibroblasts are responsible for the production of the extracellular matrix and the development of renal fibrosis, the molecular mechanisms underlying fibroblast activation are not fully defined. Here we examined the functional role of AMP-activa...
متن کاملKinetic mechanism of protein arginine methyltransferase 1.
Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are SAM-dependent enzymes that catalyze the mono- and dimethylation of peptidyl arginine residues. Although all PRMTs produce monomethyl arginine (MMA), type 1 PRMTs go on to form asymmetrically dimethylated arginine (ADMA), while type 2 enzymes form symmetrically dimethylated arginine (SDMA). PRMT1 is the major type 1 PRMT in vivo, thus it is the pri...
