Determination the Role of Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule-1(ESM-1) in Childhood Bronchial Asthma
Background Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule-1 (ESM-1) is a 50 kDa soluble proteoglycan that is produced mainly the vascular endothelial cells of the kidney and lung. It is produced by the effects of proangiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and it indicates activation and dysfunction of the vascular endothelium. We aimed to detect the role of ESM-1 in childre...

The small GTPase Rac-1 is a regulator of mesangial cell morphology and thrombospondin-1 expression.
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), which is synthesized by mesangial cells, is known for its anti-angiogenic activity and its ability to activate latent TGF-beta. TSP-1 is upregulated in renal diseases associated with tissue remodeling. Therefore, we hypothesized that the expression of TSP-1 might be modulated by changes in cell morphology involving proteins of the Rho family. Spreading of mesangial cel...
متن کاملPPARγ Regulates Expression of Carbohydrate Sulfotransferase 11 (CHST11/C4ST1), a Regulator of LPL Cell Surface Binding
The transcription factor PPARγ is the key regulator of adipocyte differentiation, function and maintenance, and the cellular target of the insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones. Identification and functional characterization of genes regulated by PPARγ will therefore lead to a better understanding of adipocyte biology and may also contribute to the development of new anti-diabetic drugs. Here,...
متن کاملPPARγ- Novel Target in Antidiabetic Drug Design
The nuclear receptors constitute one of the largest groups of transcription factors known today. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) are members of the nuclear receptor supergene family and are considered as key sensors of both lipid and glucose homeostasis. The role of the PPAR γ isoform in glucose metabolism is illustrated by the fact that antidiabetic thiazolidinediones ha...
