Bioactive lipid mediators in polycystic kidney disease
Journal of Lipid Research, 2014 Inflammatory activity is evident in patients with chronic kidney disease with limited data available in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We hypothesized that inflammation is an upstream event in the pathogenesis of ADPKD and may be a

Activation of Rac-1 and RhoA contributes to podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2013 Rho-family GTPases like RhoA and Rac-1 are potent regulators of cellular signaling that control gene expression, migration and inflammation. Activation of Rho-GTPases has been linked to podocyte dysfunction, a feature of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). We

Not all inflammation in a renal allograft is rejection
Clinical Case Reports, 2018 Key Clinical Message High index of suspicion for adenovirus infection is required in renal graft dysfunction, especially in the setting of hematuria. Histology can mimic acute rejection, which creates a diagnostic dilemma. Tissue adenovirus immunostains,

Simultaneous inhibition of FXR and TGR5 exacerbates atherosclerotic formation
Journal of Lipid Research, 2018 Simultaneous activation of bile acid receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (TGR5) by INT-767 significantly reduces atherosclerotic formation. In this study, we investigated the effect of simultaneous inactivation
