Renoprotective Effects of Aldose Reductase Inhibitor Epalrestat against High Glucose-Induced Cellular Injury
(
Hindawi
, 2017 , Article)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease worldwide. Increased glucose flux into the aldose reductase (AR) pathway during diabetes was reported to exert deleterious effects on the kidney. ...
Sestrin2 as a Novel Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Various Diseases
(
Hindawi
, 2017 , Article)
Sestrin2 (SESN2), a highly conserved stress-inducible metabolic protein, is known to repress reactive oxygen species (ROS) and provide cytoprotection against various noxious stimuli including genotoxic and oxidative stress, ...
Metformin Induces Different Responses in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Caki Cell Lines.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and lethal form of urological cancer diagnosed globally. Mutations of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor gene and the resultant overexpression of hypoxia-inducible ...
Crosstalk Between Oxidative Stress and Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress in Endothelial Dysfunction and Aberrant Angiogenesis Associated With Diabetes: A Focus on the Protective Roles of Heme Oxygenase (HO)-1
(
Frontiers Media
, 2019 , Article Review)
Type-2 diabetes prevalence is continuing to rise worldwide due to physical inactivity and obesity epidemic. Diabetes and fluctuations of blood sugar are related to multiple micro- and macrovascular complications, that are ...
Microparticles as Potential Mediators of High Glucose-Induced Renal Cell Injury.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Activation of signaling pathways such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), ...
Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning Microparticle-Mediated Cellular Injury in Cardiovascular Complications Associated with Diabetes.
(
Hindawi
, 2019 , Article)
Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles shed from the cytoplasmic membrane of healthy, activated, or apoptotic cells. MPs are very heterogeneous in size (100-1,000 nm), and they harbor proteins and surface antigens specific ...
AMPK Activation Attenuates Albumin-induced Alterations in Renal Tubular Cells In Vitro
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by progressive decline in renal function; if left untreated, it ultimately results in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a condition that demands either dialysis or ...
Comparison Of In Vitro Models Of Diabetic Nephropathy Using Renal Tubular Cells
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic and serious complication associated with diabetes. The standardization of an in vitro model to best represent DN is very challenging due to the chronic nature of the ...
Synthesis And Pharmacological Screening Of Novel Piperine Analogs For Potential In Vitro Protection From Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the chief organelle involved in protein homeostasis. Perturbations to the ER protein folding machinery caused by hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia has been shown ...
Anti-Neoplastic Effects of Annonacin against Renal Cell Carcinoma
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background and Objectives: Renal cell carcinoma is the most common and lethal form of all renal cancers, and accounts for 4.1% of all cancer cases in Qatar. Mutations to Von-Hippel Lindeau (VHL) gene in renal cells activates ...
