1 21269661 The aim of the study was to determine in a rat model of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy the expression of: WT-1 (for podocyte loss in the glomerulus), TGF-beta 1 (for tissue damage), caspase-3 and bax (for glomerular apoptosis) and the possible protective effects of an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker.
2 21269661 We conclude that the decrease in the number of podocytes is an early marker of diabetic nephropathy, AT1 receptor blocker has renoprotective effects on the regulation of renal hemodynamics and on the control of tissue damage by preventing podocyte loss, which leads to decrease of bax and caspase-3 expressions of apoptosis related proteins, and may prevent glomerular cell apoptosis via angiotensin II.
3 16421179 Apoptosis induced by each TM was associated with a significant (approximately 400%) increase in caspase 8 activity, but no change in caspase 9 activity, and Western analyses revealed a marked up-regulation of Fas (approximately 500%) and FADD (approximately 300%) with no change in expression of Bax, Bcl-2, or Bcl-xL.
4 20827429 Compared with control group, proteinuria, FPW, apoptotic podocytes, caspase-3 activity, the protein expressions of p-Smad2/3, Fas, FADD, and Bax were significantly increased, podocyte density, p-Smad1/5/8 and Bcl-2 expression were decreased in ADR group. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) significantly reduced proteinuria, FPW, caspase-3 activity, expressions of p-Smad2/3, Fas, FADD, and Bax and apoptosis of podocytes, but increased serum albumin, number of viable podocytes , p-Smad1/5/8 and Bcl-2 expression in ADR treated rats.
5 20827429 ADR-induced podocyte apoptosis was associated with the imbalance of p-Smad2/3, p-Smad1/5/8 the activity of caspase-3 and aberrant expressions of, Fas, FADD, Bax and Bcl-2.
6 20840470 Finally, our results showed that preservation of Bcl-2, Bax and nephrin expression accompanied the anti-apoptotic effects exerted by PPAR agonists in human podocytes.
7 19662354 The expression of Bax was increased, and that of Bcl-2 was decreased at protein and mRNA levels in the podocytes after treated with PAN for 48 h.
