..., or diluted with RPMI as required to generate a concentration curve, and some with the SnC. In addition, MPs were incubated on their own without podocytes as a further control (MPc). IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF...

... responses in endothelial cells, such as increase in expression of leukocyte adhesion receptors and chemokines, such as MCP-1 and IL-8. Methods: ω–3 fatty acids, such as EPA, are highly polyunsaturated and readily undergo auto-oxidation. We studied the effect of oxidized EPA and unoxidized (native) EPA...

...), the mouse obstructed kidney (OBK) expresses MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), RANTES (Regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted) and IP-10 (interferon-γ-induced protein-10). In addition, by day 7, MIP-2 (macrophage inflammatory protein-2) expression is elevated in the obstructed...

...S. Krüger; B. Kreft Beside its role in calcium homeostasis, 1,25-D 3 modulates multiple immunological functions in cells of the immune system. In tubular epithelial cells, it increases the expression of HLA-DR and ICAM-1 molecules. Since production of chemokines, such as IL-8 and MCP-1, by tubular...

... stimulation (determined through an NF-κB luciferase reporter and upregulation of the mRNA of known NF-κB-responsive genes MCP-1 and IκB-α) was reduced rather than increased. These data suggest that IκB-α does not form a negative autoregulatory loop for NF-κB in mesangial cells and may actually reduce NF-κB...

... receptor (sIL-6R, 200 ng/ml), can induce normal human mesangial cells (NHMC) to release alpha and/or beta chemokines: MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein 1), IL-8, Rantes (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), and MIP-1α (macrophage inflammatory protein 1α). Whereas IL-6...
