Abstract

The mechanisms of leukocyte entry into the kidney during inflammatory renal disease have recently received considerable attention. Chemotactic factors appear to play a central role in this process, not only by inducing leukocyte movement but also by enhancing endothelial and leukocyte adhesiveness and endothelial permeability. The evidence supporting the role of chemotactic factors in renal inflammation comes from three types of studies. (1) Cell culture studies have shown that renal parenchymal cells produce chemotactic factors in response to proinflammatory stimuli. (2) Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization analyses of renal tissue from patients or experimental animals have demonstrated local renal expression of chemotactic factors in association with inflammatory disease. (3) Experiments designed to neutralize the chemoattractant activity of specific chemotactic factors in leukocyte-dependent models of renal injury have shown an attenuation of inflammatory infiltrates and a decrease in indices of renal damage. In this article, these data are reviewed for complement-derived chemotactic factors, the leukocyte-specific chemokines, and the interstitial chemoattractant osteopontin, and the possibilities of therapeutic int...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
