Modulatory role of platelet-derived growth factor on cytokine-induced nerve growth factor synthesis in rat glomerular mesangial cells.

چکیده
Recent evidence indicates that cytokines are potent inducers of nerve growth factor (NGF) expression in peripheral tissues and in brain. Cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells respond to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by increased NGF synthesis. We found that co-stimulation of rat glomerular mesangial cells with platelet-derived growth factor (PGDF-BB) and IL-1 beta/TNF-alpha significantly augments the IL-1 beta/TNF-alpha-induced NGF mRNA levels and NGF synthesis. In contrast, preincubation with PDGF-BB drastically reduces NGF gene expression and NGF protein synthesis in response to IL-1 beta/TNF-alpha stimulation. Thus our results indicate that PDGF-BB is a potent modulator of cytokine-induced NGF expression; its precise action is critically depending on the time at which the PDGF receptor is activated.

Alpha1beta1 integrin-mediated collagen matrix remodeling by rat mesangial cells is differentially regulated by transforming growth factor-beta and platelet-derived growth factor-BB.
Pathologic remodeling of mesangial matrix after glomerular injury is the central biologic feature of glomerular scarring (sclerosis). Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB have been implicated in the development of glomerular scarring in rat and human glomerulonephritis. To clarify molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in abnormal mesangial...

We investigated whether platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), or its receptor (PDGF-R), was upregulated in a rat model of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. A marked increase in both PDGF A- and B-chain mRNA could be demonstrated in glomerular RNA by Northern blot analysis 3 and 5 days after disease induction, corresponding to the time of mesangial cell proliferation. PDGF-R beta-subu...

Under conditions associated with local and systemic inflammation, mesangial cells and invading immune cells are likely to be responsible for the release of large amounts of nitric oxide (NO) in the glomerulus. To further define the mechanisms of NO action in the glomerulus, we attempted to identify genes which are regulated by NO in rat glomerular mesangial cells. We identified vascular endothe...

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent inflammatory mediator that participates in the pathogenesis of proteinuria and glomerular damage. However, the role of this lipid in glomerular sclerosis remains unknown. This study examines the effect of PAF on the regulation of extracellular matrix proteins by rat and human mesangial cells. PAF increased in a dose-dependent manner the gene expressi...

This paper reviews current concepts of glomerular immune injury of both inflammatory and noninflammatory types. In noninflammatory lesions induced by antibody alone or C5b-9, the glomerular epithelial cell appears to be the principal target of injury. Similar mechanisms are probably operative in human diseases such as minimal change nephrotic syndrome and membranous nephropathy. In inflammatory...
