... normal kidney were compared with 10 specimens from patients affected by various glomerulopathies [minimal change nephropathy (MCN), membranous nephropathy (MN) and systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis (SLEN)]. On normal glomeruli, α 3 was the dominant integrin, being mainly present on podocytes...

...Masahiko Shimizu; Yasuhiko Tomino; Masaaki Abe; Toshikazu Shirai; Hikaru Koide Deposition of a major retroviral envelope glycoprotein, gp 70, in renal glomeruli of ddY mice, an animal model for primary IgA nephropathy, was examined by immunofluorescence. The positive staining of gp 70...

...Kazuyoshi Watanabe; Shigemi Kinoshita; Hideo Nakagawa A significant increase in gelatinolytic activity was observed in cultures of glomeruli from Heymann nephritic rats. Zymography of the culture medium indicated that the main gelatinase species has a molecular weight of 98 kilodaltons (kDa...

...Kazuyoshi Watanabe; Hideo Nakagawa Human recombinant interleukin-1β (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) dose-dependently enhanced the production of PMN chemotactic factor, which was trypsin-sensitive and heat-stable, by the epithelioid cells of rat renal glomeruli. Dexamethasone dose...

...E. Podjarny; M. Rathaus; A. Pomeranz; J. Shapira; J. Bernheim Activation of macrophages and release of mediators that activate the coagulation system characterize proliferative glomerulonephritis. To evaluate the possible role of prostanoids in this process, isolated rat glomeruli (G...

...Andrea A. Wargo; Lawrence M. Slotkoff; Pedro A. Jose; Juan C. Pelayo; Gilbert M. Eisner The effects of biogenic amines on cyclic 3′, 5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and on cyclic 3′, 5′-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) were studied in isolated glomeruli from dog kidneys. Of the agents tested...

...Barry B. Kirschbaum; Bruce Bosmann Rat kidney plasma membrane preparations and suspensions of intact glomeruli were used to study glycoprotein: glycosyl transferase activities present on cell surfaces. Collagen: glucosyl, fetuin: galactosyl, and fetuin: sialic acid (sialíc acid is the generic term...

... of the antioxidant enzymes. In this study, we investigated the effect of oral vitamin E supplementation on antioxidant enzyme activities in both the cortex and isolated glomeruli from Adriamycin-treated rats. Methods: Glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial lesions and ferric iron deposits were evaluated...

... on day 3, and that of MIP-1α mRNA increased on day 7, but both returned to their normal levels within 2 days. No increase in the mRNAs of MIP-1β or RANTES was observed until day 10. These results indicate that the expression pattern of the chemokine mRNAs in glomeruli resembles that in renal cortex...
