Abstract
To explore whether bioartificial kidney (BAK) ameliorates cytokine response and biochemical indices, and prolongs the survival time in acute uremic pigs with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).
Hybridized pigs suffering from MODS and acute renal failure (ARF) were treated with BAK (Group A,...

Abstract
We investigated the signals that determine apical expression of NaPi-IIc with a focus on the role of the N- and the C-terminal tails of mouse NaPi-IIc in renal epithelial cells [opossum kidney (OK) and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells]. Wild-type NaPi-IIc, the cotransporter NaPi-IIa, as well as sever...

Abstract
We have screened a chemical library and identified several novel structures of Na/K-ATPase inhibitors. One group of these inhibitors belongs to polyphenolic xanthone derivatives. Functional characterization reveals the following properties of this group of inhibitors. First, like ouabain, they are p...

Abstract
TNF-alpha has recently been implicated in diabetic nephropathy, which is usually accompanied by higher sodium retention. The kidneys play a major role in sodium homeostasis by regulating tubular sodium reabsorption, a process geared by the sodium gradient established by the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase. The ai...

Abstract
We examined 2 nephrotoxic agents, ifosfamide (IFO) and acyclovir, that exhibit different clinical nephrotoxic patterns. HK-2 cells metabolized IFO to its nephrotoxic metabolite, chloroacetaldehyde (CAA). Acyclovir induced a concentration-dependent decrease in HK-2 cell viability, suggesting that acy...

Abstract
We speculated that altered gap junctions might contribute to the antitumor activities of proteasome inhibition. Incubation of Hepa-1c1c7 cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 elevated the levels of gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) and promoted gap junctional intercellular communication. T...

We hypothesize that superoxide (O(2)(*-)) accumulation is not a crucial causative factor in inducing nitroglycerin (NTG) tolerance. In LLC-PK1 cells, pre-exposure to NTG resulted in increased O(2)(*-) accumulation and reduced cGMP response to NTG versus vehicle control. O(2)(*-) stimulated by NTG wa...

If so, the kidney stone formation is determined by COM-seeding on the tubules walls. The further growth of the stone on the seed can take practically unlimited time beca...

We studied the role of GSK3beta in advanced glycation end-product (AGE)-induced effects in the proximal tubule-like LLC-PK1 cells.

Reportedly, impaired internalization of the pd PTH1R, however, is not dependent...
