Sex Differences in Renal Proximal Tubular Cell Homeostasis.
Studies in human patients and animals have revealed sex-specific differences in susceptibility to renal diseases. Because actions of female sex hormones on normal renal tissue might protect against damage, we searched for potential influences of the female hormone cycle on basic renal functions by studying excretion of urinary marker proteins in healthy human probands. We collected second morni...
متن کاملRenal Tubular Acidosis Type 2 and 3: Proximal Renal Tubular Acidosis (pRTA) and Combined Proximal and Distal RTA in Children
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) type 2, also called proximal renal tubular acidosis, is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis due to impaired reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3) in proximal tubules. It can be due to isolated defect or part of generalized defect (Fanconi syndrome). Rickets/Osteomalacia is more common and treatment is usually difficult. RTA type 3 is designated when comb...
متن کاملNicotine-Induced Apoptosis in Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells
BACKGROUND Nicotine is, to a large extent, responsible for smoking-mediated renal dysfunction. This study investigated nicotine's effects on renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in vitro and it explored the mechanisms underlying its effects. METHODS Human proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells were treated with nicotine. Cell viability was examined by using the WST-1 assay. Intracellular...
متن کاملHypoxia-reoxygenation induced necroptosis in cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cell line
Objective(s): The aim of this study is to explore the potential role of hypoxia/reoxygenation in necroptosis in cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cell line NRK-52E, and further to investigate its possible mechanisms.Materials and Methods: Cells were cultured under different hypoxia-reoxygenation conditions in vitro. MTT assay was used to measure the cell proliferation...
متن کاملEndoplasmic reticulum stress induces autophagy in renal proximal tubular cells.
BACKGROUND Autophagy, an intracellular self-degradation system conserved throughout eukaryotes, plays an important role in a variety of biological processes, including cell death, development, cancer, defence against infection and neurodegeneration. However, little information about autophagy in renal tubular cells is available. We investigated the relationship of autophagy with endoplasmic ret...
