Abstract

Diabetes mellitus can cause a wide variety of vascular complications and is one of the major risk factors for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The present study was designed investigate the expression of laminin (LN) in human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (HLSECs) induced by high glucose and the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and integrin αvβ3 in the regulation of LN expression. HLSECs were cultured and treated with media containing 25 mM glucose in the presence or absence of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or clone LM609. The level of intracellular ROS of HLSECs was measured with 2',7' dichloro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe. Expression of integrin αvβ3 was measured using RT-PCR and Western blot. Expression of LN was testified by immunofluorescence assay. Compared with that in control group, ROS level and the expression of integrin αvβ3 and LN increased in high glucose group. Compared with that in high glucose group, antioxidant NAC inhibited the expression of integrin αvβ3, NAC and the anti-body for blocking integrin αvβ3 (clone LM609) down-regulated the expression of LN. However, the above parameters did not differ between control and mannitol groups. High glucose up-regulates expression of LN in HLSECs t...Continue Reading

Basement Membranes

Basement membranes are thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans. Here is the latest research on basement membranes.

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.
