1 20375988 When HGF was expressed ectopically in vivo, it ameliorated adriamycin-induced albuminuria, preserved WT1 and nephrin expression, and inhibited podocyte apoptosis.
2 20375988 In vitro, HGF was able to preserve WT1 and nephrin expression in cultured podocytes after adriamycin treatment.
3 21514418 In vitro, HGF stimulation of podocytes resulted in antiapoptotic phosphorylation of AKT and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and induction of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP).
4 21514418 Decreased antiapoptotic Met signaling in podocytes, probably due to decreased HGF secretion by glomerular epithelial cells, could contribute to podocyte loss and FSGS in TxG.
5 21775482 Exogenous expression of HGF produced evidently beneficial effects, leading to restoration of Wilms' tumor-1 (WT1) and ?-actinin-4 expression and attenuation of ultrastructural damage of the podocytes.
6 21775482 In vitro, HGF not only restored WT1 and ?-actinin-4 expression but also inhibited albumin leakage of podocytes incubated with PAN in a Transwell culture chamber.
