45 results about "Mesangial cell" patented technology

Mesangial cells are specialised cells in the kidney that make up the mesangium of the glomerulus. Together with the mesangial matrix, they form the vascular pole of the renal corpuscle. The mesangial cell population accounts for approximately 30-40% of the total cells in the glomerulus. Mesangial cells can be categorized as either extraglomerular mesangial cells or intraglomerular mesangial cells, based on their relative location to the glomerulus. The extraglomerular mesangial cells are found between the afferent and efferent arterioles towards the vascular pole of the glomerulus. The extraglomerular mesangial cells are adjacent to the intraglomerular mesangial cells that are located inside the glomerulus and in between the capillaries. The primary function of mesangial cells is to remove trapped residues and aggregated protein from the basement membrane thus keeping the filter free of debris. The contractile properties of mesangial cells have been shown to be insignificant in changing the filtration pressure of the glomerulus.

Application of 5-pentyl-3-methoxy-phenol to preparation of products for preventing and treating oxidative stress or inflammatory response induced diseases

The invention discloses an application of 5-pentyl-3-methoxy-phenol to preparation of products for preventing and treating oxidative stress or inflammatory response induced diseases. The chemical formula of 5-pentyl-3-methoxy-phenol is shown in the description. 5-pentyl-3-methoxy-phenol is an Nrf2 (nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2) signaling pathway agonist and an NF (nuclear factor)-kappa B signaling pathway inhibitor. 5-pentyl-3-methoxy-phenol can up-regulate the protein levels of Nrf2 as well as phase II detoxification enzyme NQO1 and antioxidant enzyme GCLM which are regulated by Nrf2, increase the level of glutathione as an endogenous antioxidant and inhibit generation of exogenous toxicant induced reactive oxygen species, and has a protective effect on exogenous toxicant induced oxidative damage to pulmonary bronchial epithelial cells, glomerular mesangial cells, human nerve cells and human breast cancer cells. 5-pentyl-3-methoxy-phenol can inhibit activation of an NF-kappa B signaling pathway, down-regulate inflammatory gene expression and inhibit LPS induced inflammatory response of macrophage RAW 264.7 of a mouse.

Cordyceps cicadae polysaccharide, preparation method and application thereof in preparation of medicament for preventing renal interstitial fibrosis

The invention discloses a cordyceps cicadae polysaccharide, a preparation method and application thereof in preparation of a medicament for preventing renal interstitial fibrosis. The method comprisesthe following steps: pulverizing cordyceps cicadae fruiting bodies, and performing sieving to obtain cordyceps cicadae fruiting body powder; ultrasonically extracting the fruiting body powder with distilled water, and then carrying out ultrahigh pressure treatment; preparing crude polysaccharide of the cordyceps cicadae fruiting body after the treatment; and then performing separation by using DEAE-cellulose anion column chromatography, and performing freeze-drying to obtain the purified polysaccharide. The method successfully prepares the cicada cordyceps polysaccharide treated and modifiedby ultrahigh pressure, and has the advantages of simple steps and higher efficiency. The intervention on a rat glomerular epithelial cell model shows that the polysaccharide can effectively inhibit the proliferation of rat glomerular epithelial cells (HMC), and has wide application prospect in the aspect of preventing renal interstitial fibrosis. The oxidation resistance of the cordyceps cicadae polysaccharide is obviously improved, and the cordyceps cicadae polysaccharide induces the apoptosis of high-glucose rat glomerular mesangial cells, has no toxicity to normal cells, and has good research value and commercial value.

Remedy for Renal Disease

When an anti-human BMP antibody was added to cells of an immortalized human mesangial cell line cultured in the presence of human BMP, the anti-human BMP antibody significantly suppressed the production of type IV collagen in mesangial cells. A number of signaling pathways are involved in abnormal proliferation of type IV collagen. It was therefore completely unpredictable whether merely blocking the BMP signal would indeed suppress the abnormal proliferation of type IV collagen. However, for the first time, the present inventors demonstrated that anti-BMP antibodies are very effective in suppressing the abnormal proliferation of type IV collagen. Thus, anti-BMP antibodies can be used as novel therapeutic agents for kidney diseases associated with abnormal proliferation of the mesangial matrix.

Use of fucoidin in preparing medicine for treating and/ or preventing renal fibrosis disease

The present invention provides the use of fucoidin in preparing a medicine for treating and / or preventing renal fibrosis disease. The embodiment of the invention proves that the fucoidin has the following functions: 1) reduces abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix in renal glomerular mesangial region by reducing the protein expression level of FN and Col IV which are abnormally increasedin glomerular mesangial cells; and 2) obviously reduces the oxidative stress level of glomerular mesangial cells and the expression of inflammatory factors. Through the functions, the fucoidin can effectively reduce the renal function damage caused by renal fibrosis so as to achieve the effect of treating and / or preventing the renal fibrosis diseases, and therefore, the fucoidin can be developedas a potential medicament for treating and / or preventing the renal fibrosis diseases.
