Neutralization of macrophage-stimulating protein ameliorates renal injury in anti-thy 1 glomerulonephritis.
Macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) is a scatter factor that causes cell proliferation and migration, and receptor origin nantaise (RON) is its receptor. RON is expressed in macrophages and mesangial cells, and MSP is produced by renal tubular cells. This study investigated whether MSP/RON participate in the pathogenesis of anti-Thy 1 nephritis, a glomerular disease that is characterized by in...
متن کاملTubulointerstitial injury of Thy-1 nephritis in uninephrectomized stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Thy-1 nephritis was induced in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SP) with unilateral nephrectomy (UNX) and normotensive same genetic strain Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats with UNX to evaluate whether the tubulointerstitial injury in Thy-1 nephritis is accelerated by long-term systemic and intraglomerular hypertension. SHR-SP that underwent UNX at twelve weeks of age were randomly assig...
متن کاملMesenchymal stromal cells improve renal injury in anti-Thy 1 nephritis by modulating inflammatory cytokines and scatter factors.
MSC (mesenchymal stromal cells) can differentiate into renal adult cells, and have anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating activity. In the present study, we investigated whether MSC have protective/reparative effects in anti-Thy1 disease, an Ab (antibody)-induced mesangiolysis resulting in mesangioproliferative nephritis. We studied five groups of rats: (i) rats injected with anti-Thy1.1 Ab on...
متن کاملEffects of KD3-671, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, on anti-thy-1 nephritis in rats.
We examined the effects of KD3-671 (2-propyl-8-oxo-1-[(2'-(H-tetrazole-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrocycloheptimidazole), an angiotensin II type1 receptor antagonist, on an experimental rat model of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, anti-Thy-1 nephritis. Anti-Thy-1 nephritis was induced by intravenous injection of 300 microg/kg of anti-Thy-1.1 monoclonal antibody into rat...
متن کاملSupplementation of heterologous complement induces anti-Thy-1.1 nephritis in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).
Anti-Thy-1.1 nephritis in the rat is a popular experimental model for mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN). This model is characterized by direct binding of anti-Thy-1.1 antibody with Thy-1.1 antigen expressed on mesangial cells (MCs) of glomeruli in the rat. A single injection of anti-rat thymocyte serum (ARTS) results in GN with proteinuria and extensive mesangiolysis. Development ...
