1	11141501	Hepatocyte growth factor, but not insulin-like growth factor I, protects podocytes against cyclosporin A-induced apoptosis.
2	11141501	Cyclosporin A (CsA) nephropathy is associated with altered expression of apoptosis regulatory genes such as Fas-ligand and Bcl-2 family members in the glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular compartments.
3	11141501	Both hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) protect against apoptosis, and HGF specifically up-regulates Bcl-xL, a protein that regulates apoptosis.
4	11141501	We investigated whether Bcl-xL and Fas/Fas-ligand were regulated by CsA in cultured podocytes and whether CsA-induced apoptosis was prevented by HGF or IGF-I.
5	11141501	A murine podocyte cell line was treated with CsA in the presence or absence of HGF or IGF-I.
6	11141501	Apoptosis was quantitated by ELISA and by flow cytometry; Bcl-xL, Fas, and Fas-ligand were measured by Western blotting.
7	11141501	Inhibitors of MAP kinase/ERK kinase (MEK)-1 and of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3'-K) were used to determine the signaling pathways involved in Bcl-xL regulation.
8	11141501	HGF, but not IGF-I, prevented apoptosis and restored Bcl-xL levels.
9	11141501	The regulation of Bcl-xL by HGF was mediated by the PI3'-K but not by the MEK-1 pathway.
10	11141501	Apoptosis was prevented by pretreatment with HGF but not IGF-I.
