Thrombospondin in renal disease.
Thrombospondins (TSPs) are multifunctional matricellular glycoproteins which are involved in the regulation of angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, the NO-cGMP-dependent protein kinase pathway and transforming growth factor (TGF) beta activation. The TSP family consists of 5 members, but currently only data on effects of TSP-1 and TSP-2 in renal disease are available. Both TSPs are hardly ex...
متن کاملRelationship of Renal Cortical Echogenicity in Renal Ultrasonography with Course of Disease in Children with Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome
Background It is important to find a predictor for the course of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome for better planning of treatment. Renal cortical echogenicity in ultrasonography has been postulated as a marker for the course of renal disease. The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between renal cortical echogenicity and the course...

renal actinomycosis is a rare infection, and actinomycosis mostly acts as a normal flora in mouth, colon and vagina. we present a case of 56 years old man, who referred to our center for renal transplantation with kidney stone and diagnosed with renal actinomycosis. this case has risen possibility of rare infection that can be considered in the setting of renal transplantation.
متن کاملThrombospondin-1 and VEGF in inflammatory bowel disease
BACKGROUND AND AIM Angiogenesis is an important process in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammation. We aimed to study the angiogeneic balance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by evaluating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) on colonic epithelial cells, together with the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). METHODS Twen...
متن کاملThrombospondin-1 inhibits ADAMTS13 activity in sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by increased cellular adhesiveness, hemolytic anemia, hemostatic activation, vaso-occlusion and thrombosis. We found that patients with SCD in steady state have elevated plasma levels of the platelet protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) and that these levels are associated with vaso-occlusive complications and a history of acute chest syndrome (ACS). Critic...
