Phospholipid derived mediators and glomerulonephritis
نویسنده
چکیده
The contributions made by the various eicosanoids, PAF, the HETES and the lipoxins to the pathophysiology of glomerulonephritis is reviewed. A case can be made for clinical trials of PAF, leukotriene and thromboxane antagonists. Combined thromboxane synthetase and thromboxane receptor antagonism would seem to be the more efficacious approach for the various disease entities.

PLATELETS AND VASCULAR OCCLUSION A role for PAF-acether (platelet-activating factor) in platelet-dependent vascular diseases?
Platelets isolated or in conjunction with leukocytes interact with vessel walls in many experimental and human diseases. Several mediators are held responsible for platelet activation and interaction with leukocytes, among which PAF-acether (platelet-activating factor) is a prime candidate. This phospholipid mediator is released by most inflammatory cells, including neutrophils, by isolated org...

متن کاملNitric oxide and glomerulonephritis.
Glomerulonephritis is a common clinical condition that is caused by immune-mediated injury to the kidney and is characterized by dysfunction of the glomerular capillary filtration barrier. Nitric oxide (NO), a ubiquitous molecule with many biological functions throughout the body, has been evaluated as an inflammatory mediator in these circumstances. NO may induce glomerular injury directly or ...
متن کاملMembrane Attack Complex in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Immune complexes localized in the kidneys of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) 1 appear to play a central role in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis. Evidence supporting this hypothesis has been obtained from serial serologic studies (1-3), assay of specific antigen-antibody systems (4-7), measurement of serum immune complex levels (8-11), and immunocytochemical examination o...
متن کاملPhospholipid storage in the secretory granule of the mast cell.
A spontaneous membrane assembly process has been postulated to account for the rapid perigranular membrane enlargement which occurs during mast cell secretory granule activation. This process requires the presence of a phospholipid store in the quiescent granule. By using purified granules with intact membranes we have determined the total phospholipid content of the average quiescent granule. ...
