Regulation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) by hepatocyte growth factor in human tubular epithelial cells.
BACKGROUND Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic protein with renoprotective functions, which have been attributed at least in part to its ability to counteract the profibrotic effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). A major downstream mediator of TGF-beta is connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). However, the molecular mechanisms of CTGF regulation by HGF have not yet...
متن کاملEstablishment of human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells with overexpressed human hepatocyte growth factor
Objective(s): Chronic liver disease has become a major health problem that causes serious damage to human health. Since the existing treatment effect was not ideal, we need to seek new treatment methods. Materials and Methods: We utilized the gene recombination technology to obtain the human hair mesenchymal stem cells which overexpression of human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF). Furthermore, ...
متن کاملPresence of Urokinase in Serum-free Primary Rat Hepatocyte Cultures and Its Role in Activating Hepatocyte Growth Factor1
Serum-free rat hepatocyte cultures can be stimulated to divide by the inactive, single-chain form of hepatocyte growth factor (scHGF), suggest ing that hepatocytes contain a protein that can cleave scHGF to its biologically active, two-chain (tcHGF) form. We added radiolabeled scHGF to serum-free cultures and confirmed that tcHGF was being generated. Because scHGF can be cleaved to tcHGF by pla...
متن کاملBronchioalveolar morphogenesis of human bronchial epithelial cells depending upon hepatocyte growth factor
Lung alveolar regeneration occurs in adult human lungs as a result of proliferation, differentiation and alveolar morphogenesis of stem cells. It is increasingly being believed that bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) have a potential as stem cells, because they are potent to differentiate into multiple central and peripheral lung cell types in three-dimensional (3D) cultures, and they develop mu...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of drug transporter expression by hepatocyte growth factor in primary human hepatocytes.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is known to down-regulate expression of drug-detoxifying proteins such as cytochromes P450 (P450s) in human hepatocytes. The present study was designed to determine whether HGF may also impair expression of uptake and efflux drug transporters, which constitute important determinants of the liver detoxification pathway, such as P450s. Exposure of primary human hepa...
