Bone Marrow-Derived Cells in the Pathogenesis of Lung Fibrosis.

Current respiratory medicine reviews

Moore BB, Thannickal VJ, Toews GB.
PMID: 27499722
Curr Respir Med Rev. 2005;1(1):69-76. doi: 10.2174/1573398052953613.

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by failed alveolar reepithelialization and fibroblast/myofibroblast accumulation, with deposition of extracellular matrix. This results in loss of lung elasticity, alveolar collapse and fibrosis, impaired gas exchange and progressive decline in pulmonary function. Myofibroblasts represent...

TNFα in liver fibrosis.

Current pathobiology reports

Yang YM, Seki E.
PMID: 26726307
Curr Pathobiol Rep. 2015 Dec;3(4):253-261. doi: 10.1007/s40139-015-0093-z. Epub 2015 Sep 30.

Hepatocyte death, inflammation, and liver fibrosis are the hallmarks of chronic liver disease. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is an inflammatory cytokine involved in liver inflammation and sustained liver inflammation leads to liver fibrosis. TNFα exerts inflammation, proliferation, and apoptosis....

Angiotensin II suppresses osteoblastic differentiation and mineralized nodule formation via AT1 receptor in ROS17/2.8 cells.

Archives of medical science : AMS

Nakai K, Kawato T, Morita T, Yamazaki Y, Tanaka H, Tonogi M, Oki H, Maeno M.
PMID: 26170858
Arch Med Sci. 2015 Jun 19;11(3):628-37. doi: 10.5114/aoms.2015.52369.

INTRODUCTION: Angiotensin II (Ang II) not only regulates systemic blood pressure through a vasoconstrictive effect, but also promotes bone resorption. We recently reported that Ang II (10(-6) M) stimulated the production of matrix metalloproteinases via the AT1 receptor in...

Analysis of co-assembly and co-localization of ameloblastin and amelogenin.

Frontiers in physiology

Mazumder P, Prajapati S, Lokappa SB, Gallon V, Moradian-Oldak J.
PMID: 25120489
Front Physiol. 2014 Jul 25;5:274. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2014.00274. eCollection 2014.

Epithelially-derived ameloblasts secrete extracellular matrix proteins including amelogenin, enamelin, and ameloblastin. Complex intermolecular interactions among these proteins are believed to be important in controlling enamel formation. Here we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence of co-assembly and co-localization...

Role of Neuropilin-1 in Diabetic Nephropathy.

Journal of clinical medicine

Bondeva T, Wolf G.
PMID: 26239560
J Clin Med. 2015 Jun 17;4(6):1293-311. doi: 10.3390/jcm4061293.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) often develops in patients suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. DN is characterized by renal injury resulting in proteinuria. Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) is a single-pass transmembrane receptor protein devoid of enzymatic activity. Its large...

Substrates for clinical applicability of stem cells.

World journal of stem cells

Enam S, Jin S.
PMID: 25815112
World J Stem Cells. 2015 Mar 26;7(2):243-52. doi: 10.4252/wjsc.v7.i2.243.

The capability of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) to differentiate into a variety of cells in the human body holds great promise for regenerative medicine. Many substrates exist on which hPSCs can be self-renewed, maintained and expanded to further...

Republished: Importance of carcinoma-associated fibroblast-derived proteins in clinical oncology.

Postgraduate medical journal

Valcz G, Sipos F, Tulassay Z, Molnar B, Yagi Y.
PMID: 25976496
Postgrad Med J. 2015 May;91(1075):1026-31. doi: 10.1136/postgradmedj-2014-202561rep.

Carcinoma-associated fibroblast (CAF) as prominent cell type of the tumour microenvironment has complex interaction with both the cancer cells and other non-neoplastic surrounding cells. The CAF-derived regulators and extracellular matrix proteins can support cancer progression by providing a protective...

Microarray analysis of genes involved with shell strength in layer shell gland at the early stage of active calcification.

Asian-Australasian journal of animal sciences

Liu Z, Zheng Q, Zhang X, Lu L.
PMID: 25049830
Asian-Australas J Anim Sci. 2013 May;26(5):609-24. doi: 10.5713/ajas.2012.12398.

The objective of this study was to get a comprehensive understanding of how genes in chicken shell gland modulate eggshell strength at the early stage of active calcification. Four 32-week old of purebred Xianju hens with consistent high or...

Chronic Kidney Disease and Fibrosis: The Role of Uremic Retention Solutes.

Frontiers in medicine

Mutsaers HA, Stribos EG, Glorieux G, Vanholder R, Olinga P.
PMID: 26380262
Front Med (Lausanne). 2015 Aug 31;2:60. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2015.00060. eCollection 2015.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health concern, and the uremic state is highly associated with fibrogenesis in several organs and tissues. Fibrosis is characterized by excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins with a detrimental...

Optimization of Corneal Epithelial Progenitor Cell Growth on Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin Membranes.

Stem cells international

Hogerheyde TA, Suzuki S, Walshe J, Bray LJ, Stephenson SA, Harkin DG, Richardson NA.
