Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a highly prevalent genetic disease that results in cyst formation in kidney and liver. Cytokines and growth factors secreted by the cyst-lining epithelia are positioned to initiate autocrine/paracrine signaling and promote cyst growth. Comparative analyses of human kidney and liver cyst fluids revealed disparate cytokine/growth factor profiles. CXCR2 agonists, including IL-8, epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide (ENA-78), growth-related oncogene- ...

In this study, P. aeruginosa chemotactins were isolated, purified, and partially characterized. The organisms were cultured in Vogel-Bonner defined medium, and cultures were stopped in late log phase. Chemotactins withstood heating, remained unaltered after acid or alkali treatment in a pH range from 4 to 10, and resisted digestion by trypsin or ...

The efficacy of treatment with interleukin-lβ (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia was evaluated in a granulocytopenic mouse model. Combined intravenous administration of 2000 U IL-1β plus 2000 U TNFα significantly diminished mortality from aerosol challenge with P. aeruginosa. Mice treated with IL-1β, TNFα, or both also exhibited a significant enhancement in pulmonary clearance of P. aeruginosa. Combined cytokine administration induced an increase in the ...

Abstract Congenital and acquired deficiencies of complement regulatory proteins are associated with pathologic complement activation in several renal diseases. To elucidate the mechanisms by which renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) control the complement system, we examined the expression of complement regulatory proteins by the cells. We found that Crry is the only membrane-bound complement regulator expressed by murine TECs, and its expression is concentrated on the basolateral surface. Consistent ...

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) triggers a robust inflammatory response within the kidney. Numerous components of the immune system contribute to the resultant renal injury, including the complement system. We sought to identify whether natural Abs bind to the postischemic kidney and contribute to complement activation after I/R. We depleted peritoneal B cells in mice by hypotonic shock. Depletion of the peritoneal B cells prevented the deposition of IgM within the glomeruli after renal I/R and attenuated ...

It was hypothesized that community-based education via ...

Proliferation of cyst-lining epithelial cells is an integral part of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cyst growth. Cytokines and growth factors within cyst fluids are positioned to induce cyst growth. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a pleiotropic growth factor present in ADPKD liver cyst fluids (human 1,128 ± 78, mouse 2,787 ± 136 pg/ml) and, to a lesser extent, in ADPKD renal cyst fluids (human 294 ± 41, mouse 191 ± 90 pg/ml). Western blotting showed that receptors for VEGF ( ...

Prediction of crack growth and fatigue life estimation of metals using linear/nonlinear acousto-ultrasound methods is an ongoing issue. It is known that by measuring nonlinear parameters, the relative accumulated fatigue damage can be evaluated. However, there is still a need to measure two crack propagation states to assess the absolute residual fatigue life. A procedure based on the measurement of a third-order acoustic nonlinear parameter is presented to assess the residual fatigue life of a ...

The innate immune system causes tissue inflammation and injury after renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). The complement system is activated on ischemic tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and induces the cells to produce pro-inflammatory chemokines. TECs also express toll-like receptors (TLRs)-2 and -4. Signaling through the TLRs induces TECs to produce a variety of chemokines, some of which can also be induced by complement activation fragments. We sought to determine whether the effects of complement activation ...

Prediction of fatigue life of components during service is an on-going and unsolved challenge for the NDT and structural health monitoring community. It has been demonstrated by a number of researchers that nonlinear guided waves or the acoustic nonlinear signature of fatigued cracked material provides clear signs of the progressive fatigue damage in the material, unlike linear guided waves. However, even with nonlinear acoustic-ultrasound methods there is a necessity to compare the current nonlinear ...

Abstract PC12 cells serve as a model for exploring nerve growth factor (NGF)‐stimulated signal pathways that mediate neural differentiation. We previously demonstrated that neurofilament light chain ( NFLC ) gene induction by NGF requires collaborative extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) and c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. Herein, we investigate the broader requirement for integrated ERK and JNK signaling in NGF‐stimulated gene expression. NGF stimulates differentiation as well as maintenance ...
