79 15840669 AngII >or=10(-10) M was found to stimulate the production of alpha3(IV) collagen significantly in as short a time as 3 h.
80 15840669 The expression of alpha3(IV) collagen was influenced by the TGF-beta system, but AngII did not increase the podocyte's production of TGF-beta1 ligand; rather, it increased the expression of the TGF-beta type II receptor and activated the TGF-beta signalling system through Smad2.
81 15840669 Despite the TGF-beta receptor upregulation, synergy between AngII and TGF-beta1 to boost alpha3(IV) collagen production was not observed.

93 16306813 Here, we demonstrated that six-week treatment with PGF extract (500 mg/kg, p.o.) in Zucker diabetic fatty rats reduced the ratios of van Gieson-stained interstitial collagen deposit area to total left ventricular area and perivascular collagen deposit areas to coronary artery media area in the heart.
94 16146787 Captopril treatment prevented increase in intrarenal ANG II, and reversed expression of nephrin, TGFbeta1, collagen and fibronectin.
95 16380480 Similarly, diabetic rats intravitreally injected with the combined AS-oligos and examined after 2 months of diabetes showed significant reduction in retinal fibronectin, laminin, and collagen IV expression.
96 16339499 Here we show in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) that platelets have lost responsiveness to insulin leading to increased adhesion, aggregation, and procoagulant activity on contact with collagen.
97 16505224 Plaques were analyzed for macrophages (CD68), T-cells (CD3), inflammatory cells (HLA-DR), ubiquitin, proteasome 20S activity, nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, inhibitor of kappaB (IkappaB)-beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, nitrotyrosine, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, and collagen content (immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).
98 16556868 Finally, activation of Smad3 but not Smad2 was a key and necessary mechanism of Ang II-induced vascular fibrosis because Ang II induced Smad3/4 promoter activities and collagen matrix expression was abolished in VSMCs null for Smad3 but not Smad2.
99 16630451 Fasting blood glucose was monitored throughout the study, left ventricular function was determined by echocardiography, myocardial collagen content quantified after Masson-staining and myocardial mRNA expression of TRB(3) detected by quantification real-time RT-PCR at the end of study.
100 16630453 After hemodynamic measurements by the end of the study, myocardial collagen content was quantified in Masson-stained samples and the mRNA expressions of TSP-1 and TGFbeta(1) were detected by quantification real-time RT-PCR.
101 16630453 Moreover, myocardial collagen was positively correlated to FBG (r = 0.746, P < 0.01); mRNA expressions of TSP-1 and TGFbeta(1), protein expressions of TSP-1 and active TGFbeta(1) were positively correlated to FBG and myocardial collagen (P < 0.05).
102 16728425 In cultured cells, both high glucose and Ang-II induced significant increases in TGF-beta1, TIMP-2, and in collagen synthesis, and significant decreases in MMP-2 gene expression and activity, and thus disrupted the balance between MMP-2 and TIMP-2.
103 16728425 Moreover, treatment with a selective angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist significantly inhibited Ang-II mediated changes in TGF-beta1, MMP-2, TIMP-2, and in collagen production, suggesting the role of the AT1 receptor.
104 17003336 The integrin-dependent adhesion of fetal beta-cells to both collagen IV and vitronectin induces significant glucose-independent insulin secretion and a substantial reciprocal decline in insulin content.
105 17003336 Using real-time PCR, we demonstrate that adhesion of both fetal and adult beta-cells to collagen IV and vitronectin also results in the marked suppression of insulin gene transcription.
106 16741951 Our results revealed that reduced Nurr1 expression, using Nurr1 siRNA in MC3T3-E1 cells, affected the expression of osteoblast differentiation marker genes, osteocalcin (OCN) and collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1), as measured by quantitative real-time PCR.
107 16741951 In addition, Nurr1 overexpression increased OCN and COL1A1 expression.
108 17100636 Administration of CD1d ligand has a protective role in collagen-induced arthritis in mice.
109 16546241 Platelet activity was assessed by ADP-, and collagen-induced conventional plasma aggregometry, and by whole blood flow cytometry measuring expression of PECAM-1, GPIb, GP IIb/IIIa antigen and activity, vitronectin, P-selectin, LAMP-1, GP 37, LAMP-3, activated and intact PAR-1 thrombin receptors, GPIV, and platelet-monocyte formation.
110 17506941 Fasting blood glucose, creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine protein, kidney index, anti-oxidase, advanced glycosylation end products (AGE), collagen IV and laminin, matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) mRNA were measured by different methods.
111 17603262 It was also revealed that proline-specific peptidases and aminopeptidase N cooperatively degrade collagen for the uptake of amino acids as nutrition when these bacteria infect cells.
112 17653209 As a result, many investigations have demonstrated that the diabetic milieu per se, hemodynamic changes, and local growth factors such as transforming growth factor-beta and angiotensin II, which are considered mediators in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, induce directly and/or indirectly hypertrophy, apoptosis, and structural changes, and increase type IV collagen synthesis in podocytes.
113 17686959 Diabetes was associated with an increase in urine albumin excretion, glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, renal cortical collagen type I and IV, laminin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 and -2, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, TGF-beta receptor type I and II, Smad2/3, phosphorylated Smad2/3, and Smad4 protein expression, and CD68-positive cell abundance.
114 17728702 In contrast, 8-week exposure to HG resulted in the persistent activation of PKC-delta, did not change PKC-alpha or -beta activity, and decreased PKC-epsilon activity while increasing collagen I and IV gene and protein expression.
115 17728702 Collagen IV gene expression was completely normalized by TGF-beta neutralization; however, this was associated with plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) overexpression and a modest reduction in collagen protein.
116 17728702 Our studies suggest that prolonged exposure to HG results in PKC-delta-driven collagen accumulation by MCs mediated by PAI-1 but independent of TGF-beta.
117 17955662 The overgrowth of glomerulus, the excretion of beta2-MG in 24-hr urine, the albumin excretion rate in 24-hr urine and CCR in the HCT group significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the expression of TGF-beta1 and collagen I significantly decreased (P<0.05), but BMP-7 significantly increased (P<0.05) in the HCT group as compared with those in the model group, with no significant difference as compared with the lotensin group (P>0.05).

128 19008912 Overexpression of SOCS2 in rat mesangial cells inhibited IGF-1-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, which subsequently reduced type IV collagen and DNA synthesis, an effect due to interaction of SOCS2 with IGF-1R.
129 19150609 It significantly inhibited angiogenesis induced by vascular endothelial growth factor in a rabbit cornea model as well as the swelling of mouse feet in an anti-type II collagen antibody-induced arthritis model.
130 19502378 The cardiac expression of collagen (col1a1) was reduced by approximately 45% and the expression of myosin was switched from the foetal isoform (MHCbeta) to the adult isoform (MHCalpha).
131 19470634 Although adiponectin level was not significantly different before and after glycemic control, baseline adiponectin level, but not HbA(1c), was positively correlated with changes in OC, ucOC, and urinary N-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (uNTX) (r = 0.30, P =0.04; r = 0.32, P = 0.03; and r = 0.36, P = 0.01, respectively).
132 19614950 Compared with mice in the placebo group, CERA-treated mice had a reduction in TGF-beta(1) and collagen I expression in cardiac tissue (P < 0.01 vs. higher dose CERA).
133 19729598 Lesions in AR(-/-)/apoE(-/-) mice exhibited increased collagen and macrophage content and a decrease in smooth muscle cells.
134 19858036 This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that the preventive effects of HGF may result from interventions in TGF-beta1-mediated signaling and collagen III secretion.
135 19858036 The effects of recombinant human HGF on TGF-beta1 expression were studied by RT-PCR and Western blotting, and the levels of collagen III were measured by ELISA.

138 19786738 PAI-1 deficiency did not affect plasma glucose significantly but reduced the fractional mesangial area, fibronectin and collagen I expression in the renal cortex after 20 weeks of diabetes as well as in HG-stimulated mesangial cells along with suppression of TGF-beta1 mRNA expression.
139 19786738 Recombinant PAI-1-induced fibronectin and collagen I expression was abrogated by TGF-beta1 receptor inhibitor or anti-TGF-beta antibody suggesting that the effect of PAI-1 was mediated by TGF-beta1.
140 19862499 In diabetic mice, high-dose avosentan treatment significantly attenuated the glomerulosclerosis index, mesangial matrix accumulation, glomerular accumulation of the matrix proteins collagen IV, and renal expression of genes encoding connective tissue growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor beta and nuclear factor kappaB (p65 subunit).
141 19865095 The expression of involucrin (INV) and keratin 10 was significantly enhanced in normal human KCs grown on AGE-modified collagen I or III compared with cells grown on unmodified collagen I or III.
142 19865095 These results suggest that exposing KCs to AGE-modified interstitial collagen (types I and III) by scratching induces terminal differentiation of KCs via the AGE receptor (CD36), leading to the upward movement of KCs together with glycated collagen.
143 20566667 Wounds were assessed for collagen content, thickness and vascularity of granulation tissue, apoptosis, reepithelialization, and expression of c-myc and beta-catenin.
144 20821936 In the DM group, compared with the NC group, the gene and protein expression of MMP-2 decreased while the TIMP-2 gene and protein expression increased in heart tissues, along with a markedly cardiac collagen deposition.All the above changes were attenuated by benazepril treatment in the DB group.
145 20713358 TGF-? also enhanced protein levels of Tsc-22 (TGF-?-stimulated clone 22) and collagen type I ?-2 (Col1a2) expression in MC through far upstream enhancer E-boxes by interaction of Tsc-22 with an E-box regulator, Tfe3.
146 20212516 Evidence gathered in human specimens and animal models of PD have elucidated aspects of its etiology and histopathology, showing that overexpression of transforming growth factor beta1, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, reactive oxygen species and other profibrotic factors, which are, in most cases, assumed to be induced by trauma to the tunica albuginea, leads to myofibroblast accumulation and excessive deposition of collagen.
147 20375985 Furthermore, visfatin induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, activated downstream insulin signaling pathways such as Erk-1, Akt, and p38 MAPK, and markedly increased the levels of TGFbeta1, PAI-1, type I collagen, and MCP-1 in both renal cells.

156 19350199 In this study, we investigated the effects of APS treatment on cardiac function, myocardial collagen expression, cardiac ultrastructure, cardiac matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, levels of plasma glycosylated serum protein (GSP), and myocardial enzymes, and the expression of Ang II, chymase, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the diabetic hamster myocardium.
157 19350199 Compared with insulin treatment, APS treatment significantly reduced myocardial collagen (type I and III) expression and lowered cardiac MMP-2 activity, myocardial Ang II levels, myocardial chymase expression, and p-ERK1/2 kinase expression.
158 20959534 Treating cultured RPTC cells with 1 mM ?-HB significantly induced transforming growth factor-?1 expression, with a marked increase in collagen I expression. ?-HB treatment also resulted in a marked increase in vimentin protein expression and a significant reduction in E-cadherin protein levels, suggesting an enhanced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in RPTCs.
159 20980457 Although overexpression of renal Smad7 had no effect on levels of blood glucose, it significantly attenuated the development of microalbuminuria, TGF-?/Smad3-mediated renal fibrosis such as collagen I and IV and fibronectin accumulation and NF-?B/p65-driven renal inflammation including IL-1?, TNF-?, MCP-1, and ICAM-1 expression and macrophage infiltration in diabetic rats.
160 19207983 The pattern of collagen IV expression was the same in both tissue groups and was not found to be up-regulated.
161 20844835 An experiment in cultured glomerular mesangial cells was performed to examine the effects of ACE2 on cellular proliferation, oxidative stress and collagen IV synthesis.
162 20844835 In comparison with the Ad-GFP group, the Ad-ACE2 group exhibited reduced systolic blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion, creatinine clearance, glomeruli sclerosis index and renal malondialdehyde level; downregulated transforming growth factor (TGF)-?1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and collagen IV protein expression; and increased renal superoxide dismutase activity.
163 20844835 ACE2 transfection attenuated angiotensin (Ang) II-induced glomerular mesangial cell proliferation, oxidative stress and collagen IV protein synthesis.
164 20807596 Specifically, NOD-DCs cultured on vitronectin induced the highest IL-12p40 production, whereas collagen induced the highest IL-10 production.
165 20674184 We propose that this stimulation of TNAP in VSMCs in vitro and in vivo may be sufficient to induce the calcification of collagen fibrils, and that the absence of crystal clearance, in turn, induces the differentiation of VSMCs and/or mesenchymal stem cells into bone-forming cells, eventually leading to formation of a bone-like tissue.
166 21293061 Here, we investigate the role of ?3(V) collagen chains by generating mice with a null allele of the ?3(V) gene Col5a3 (Col5a3?/? mice).

169 21205912 MCA wall thickness was increased in diabetes, and this was associated with increased MMP-2 activity and collagen deposition but reduced MMP-13 activity.
170 21169360 However, the mechanism by which ET-1 promotes collagen accumulation remains unclear.
171 21169360 In human mesangial cells (a microvascular pericyte that secretes excess collagen in diabetic glomerulosclerosis), ET-1 increased mRNA and protein for MCP-1 (macrophage chemoattractant protein-1) and IL-6.
172 21169360 Exogenous addition of either recombinant MCP-1 or IL-6 increased collagen accumulation by 3.5-fold.
173 21169360 Co-stimulation with both MCP-1 and IL-6 did not elevate collagen accumulation further.
174 21169360 Neither an MCP-1-neutralizing antibody nor an MCP-1 receptor antagonist inhibited ET-1-induced collagen accumulation.
175 21169360 Taken together, these results demonstrate that an autocrine signaling loop involving MCP-1 and IL-6 contributes to ET-1-induced collagen accumulation.
176 10751215 Incubation of cultured tubular cells with recombinant human (rh) TGF-beta modestly raises expression of collagen type III, but rhHGF dose dependently blocks expression of this ECM protein.
177 11249858 A neutralizing antibody to OPN or its beta(3)-integrin receptor significantly blocked the effect of hypoxia and HG on proliferation and collagen synthesis.
178 11249858 In addition, OPN appears to play a role in mediating the accelerated mesangial cell growth and collagen synthesis found in a hyperglycemic and hypoxic environment.
179 11880325 Because mesangial cells play an important role in diabetic nephropathy, we examined regulation of type I collagen expression by PPARgamma and transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) in mouse mesangial cells in the presence of 6 and 25 mM glucose.
180 11880325 Restoration of PPARgamma activity to normal levels in cells cultured in 25 mM glucose, by transfection with a PPARgamma expression construct and treatment with the PPARgamma agonist troglitazone, returned type I collagen levels toward normal values.
181 11880325 In summary, PPARgamma suppresses the increased type I collagen mRNA and protein expression mediated by TGF-beta(1) in mesangial cells.
182 11997313 Enhanced collagen IV expression by mesangial cells in response to vasoactive peptide hormone stimulation, e.g., endothelin-1, requires PKC-beta, -delta, -epsilon and -zeta.
183 15692059 Finally, to determine whether BK stimulates CTGF, TGF-betaRII, and collagen I expression via activation of MAPK pathways, MC were pretreated with an inhibitor of p42/p44 MAPK (PD-98059) for 45 min, followed by BK (10(-8) M) stimulation for 24 h.
184 15692059 Selective inhibition of p42/p44 MAPK significantly inhibited the BK-induced increase in CTGF, TGF-betaRII, and collagen I levels.
185 16449352 We found that pretreatment with simvastatin significantly inhibited HG- and ANG II-induced collagen IV production, JAK2 activation, and phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 in GMC.
186 16896180 The decreased collagen I accumulation occurred simultaneously with enhanced collagen I mRNA expression in concert with marked suppression of plasminogen inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) mRNA and protein expression.
187 17018845 In the present study, db/db mice were treated with a small molecule, designated 23CPPA, that inhibits the nonenzymatic condensation of glucose with the albumin protein to evaluate whether increased glycated albumin influences the production of VEGF receptors (VEGFRs) and type IV collagen subchains and ameliorates the development of renal insufficiency.

190 21514434 Vorinostat treatment had no effect on albuminuria, glomerular collagen IV concentration, or mesangiolysis in diabetic mice genetically deficient in eNOS.
191 21436261 Taken together, MMP14-dependent collagenolysis plays the major role in regulating adipogenic histone marks by releasing the epigenetic constraints imposed by fibrillar type I collagen.
192 21456600 PCA treatments also dose-dependently decreased the renal level of type-IV collagen, fibronectin, and transforming growth factor-?1 (p < 0.05), as well as dose-dependently diminished renal protein kinase C (PKC) activity (p < 0.05); however, PCA treatments only at 4% suppressed renal mRNA expression of PKC-? and PKC-beta (p < 0.05).
193 19624408 Plasma concentrations of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen and osteocalcin were measured in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients (n=63) and non-diabetics (n=38) who were also subdivided on the basis of their periodontal status.
194 21325461 However, measures of insulin sensitivity (glucose infusion and disappearance rates) correlated positively with C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen levels.
195 21409414 Furthermore, AGEs increased the amount of fibronectin, collagen type IV and TIMP-1 in pericytes through a similar upregulation of autocrine VEGF and transforming growth factor (TGF)-? released by pericytes.
196 21573155 Therefore, we investigated the signaling cross-talk by which p38 MAPK mediates wound healing in fibroblasts cultured on native collagen and 3DG-collagen.
197 21573155 Furthermore, proliferation and collagen production in fibroblasts cultured on native collagen was dependent on p38 MAPK regulation of AKT and ERK1/2.
198 21573155 In contrast, 3DG-collagen decreased fibroblast migration, proliferation, and collagen expression through ERK1/2 and AKT downregulation via p38 MAPK.
199 21439910 We found that oxLDL-IC markedly stimulated collagen IV expression in a concentration- and time-dependent fashion while oxLDL only had moderate effect.
200 21439910 We also found that oxLDL-IC stimulated collagen IV expression by engaging Fc gamma receptor (Fc?R) I and III, but not Fc?RII, and that p38 MAPK, JNK and PKC pathways were involved in collagen IV expression.
201 21439910 Furthermore, we found that oxLDL-IC stimulated Fc?RI expression, suggesting a positive feedback mechanism involved in oxLDL-IC-stimulated collagen IV expression.
202 11697865 We observed an increased mRNA expression of insulin, proendocrine gene neurogenin 3, and beta-cell transcription factor Pdx1 when the cells were grown on bovine collagen I gels.

206 21208996 NaHS did not change ROS generation, cell proliferation, TGF-?1 and collagen IV expression in the cells cultured with normal glucose.
207 20962744 CDA1 small interfering RNA knockdown markedly attenuated, whereas its overexpression increased TGF-? signaling, modulating the expression of TGF-?, TGF-? receptors, connective tissue growth factor, collagen types I, III, IV, and fibronectin genes in HK-2 cells.
208 20962744 CDA1 knockdown effectively blocked TGF-?-stimulated expression of collagen genes.
209 21649785 The expression of interleukin-6, myeloperoxidase, stromelysin-1, and collagenase-3 was increased in the GT of diabetic rats on Day 10, while the expression of type I collagen and elastin was decreased.
210 21597007 Vascular reexpression of OPN (SM22-OPN transgene) reduced aortic Col2A1 and medial chondroid metaplasia but did not affect atherosclerotic calcification, Col1A1 expression, collagen accumulation, or arterial stiffness.
211 20664951 Intra-articular injection with apelin in vivo up-regulated the expression of MMP-3, -9, and IL-1beta as well as decreased the level of collagen II.
212 21555127 Shear stress-mediated nitric oxide release by cells on glycated collagen was half that of cells on native collagen, which correlated with decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation.
213 21845306 After eight weeks of treatment, the hearts were removed for morphometric studies, collagen content assay and genetic expressions of ACE and ACE2 mRNA.
214 21858384 The PEDF significantly inhibited the overexpression of transforming growth factor-beta 1, and extracellular matrix proteins (fibronectin and collagen IV) induced by the elevated glucose in HMCs.
215 21628447 Lipoxins (LXs) attenuated collagen deposition and renal apoptosis (P<0.05) and shifted the inflammatory milieu toward resolution, inhibiting TNF-? and IFN-? expression, while stimulating proresolving IL-10.
216 21744073 We found that CRP transgenic mice developed much more severe diabetic kidney injury than wild-type mice, as indicated by a significant increase in urinary albumin excretion and kidney injury molecule-1 abundance, enhanced infiltration of macrophages and T cells, and upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1?, TNF?) and extracellular matrix (collagen I, III and IV).
217 21780924 In parallel cell cultures, fibronectin and collagen IV protein expression were determined using Western Blot analysis.
218 21780924 Western blot analysis showed increased fibronectin and collagen IV expression (152?±?24% of control, p?=?0.01; 146?±?16% of control, p?=?0.02, respectively) in cells grown in HG compared to those grown in N medium.
219 18348167 By affinity coelectrophoresis (ACE), we found reduced affinities of heparin and KSPGs for glycated but not normal collagen, whereas the dermatan sulfate (DS)PGs decorin and biglycan bound similarly to both, and that the affinity of heparin for normal collagen decreased with increasing pH.
220 21653631 Anastrozole treatment also attenuated urine albumin excretion by 42%, glomerulosclerosis by 30%, tubulointerstitial fibrosis by 32%, along with a decrease in the density of renal cortical CD68-positive cells by 50%, and protein expression of transforming growth factor-? by 20%, collagen type IV by 29%, tumor necrosis factor-? by 28%, and interleukin-6 by 25%.
221 21801741 The MLD motif, present only in heterodimeric disintegrins, mediates binding of these disintegrins to ?4?1, ?4?7 and ?9?1 integrins, whereas the presence of a KTS or RTS sequence in the active site selectively directs activity of disintegrins to the collagen receptor ?1?1 integrin.
222 11375352 Furthermore, hyperglycemia was found to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activity and increase phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase Syk in platelets exposed to collagen.
223 15507471 Here, we show that two activators of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin transcription pathway, namely Dvl-2, the Axin 501-560 fragment binding glycogen synthase kinase -3beta (GSK-3beta), and the negative Wnt regulator wt-Axin did not alter cell invasion into type I collagen.
224 22005299 In human platelets, aldose reductase synergistically modulated platelet response to both hyperglycemia and collagen exposure through a pathway involving ROS/PLC?2/PKC/p38? MAPK.
225 22045654 Curcumin also attenuated the expression of TGF-?1, CTGF, osteopontin, p300 and ECM proteins such as fibronectin and type IV collagen.
226 22066418 The rise of angiotension II (Ang II) stimulates the cardiac fibroblast proliferation and the alteration of collagen metabolism through AT1 receptor on cell surface, causing the myocardium interstitial and perivascular fibrosis, and the ventricular myocardium rigidity and diastolic function disturbance, leading to the clinical symptoms of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).
227 21999467 TGF-? immunoreactivity in the interstitial and perivascular tissue was also reduced in the G-CSF-treated group, and EM studies revealed less severe disruption of myofilaments and mitochondrial cristae, and decreased collagen deposition.
