Pentosan polysulfate ameliorates apoptosis and inflammation by suppressing activation of the p38 MAPK pathway in high glucose‑treated HK‑2 cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is commonly observed in human renal biopsies. Inflammation plays a key role in DN, and pentosan polysulfate (PPS) has been shown to largely attenuate the inflammation of nephropathy in aging diabetic mice. p38 mitogen‑activated

Pentosan polysulfate inhibits atherosclerosis in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits: differential modulation of metalloproteinase-2 and -9.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pentosan polysulfate (PPS), a heparinoid compound essentially devoid of anticoagulant activity, modulates cell growth and decreases inflammation. We investigated the effect of PPS on the progression of established atherosclerosis in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits. After severe

Increased rat cardiac allograft survival by the glycosaminoglycan pentosan polysulfate.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Modulation of the inflammatory response has proven to be of benefit in salvaging cardiac allografts at risk of irreversible injury. Pentosan polysulfate (PPS), like heparin, is a negatively charged sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that possesses anti-inflammatory properties including the

Sodium Pentosan Polysulfate Reduced Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion-Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Responses in an Experimental Animal Model.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains an independent risk factor for mortality and morbidity after vascular surgery (affecting the renal arteries) or aortic surgery (requiring suprarenal aortic clamping). These types of vascular surgery produce renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, a common cause of

Potentiation of carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity by pentosan polysulfate in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Few data are available in the literature regarding the effect of pentosan polysulfate (PPS) on normal and fibrotic rat livers. In addition, the combination of PPS and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has not been studied so far. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of PPS on rat livers

Sodium pentosan polysulfate reduces urothelial responses to inflammatory stimuli via an indirect mechanism.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Sodium pentosan polysulfate has been promoted as a urothelial cytoprotective agent for treating interstitial cystitis. The nuclear transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB is thought to have a role in mediating the urothelial inflammatory response of interstitial cystitis. We further

Human osteocyte expression of Nerve Growth Factor: The effect of Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (PPS) and implications for pain associated with knee osteoarthritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pentosan polysulphate sodium (PPS) is a promising therapeutic agent for blocking knee pain in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The mode of action of PPS in this context is unknown. We hypothesised that the osteocyte, being the principal cell type in the sub-chondral bone, was capable of

Anti-arthritic effect of pentosan polysulfate in rats with collagen-induced arthritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is currently under investigation as a potential disease-modifying antiarthritic agent. In the present study the effects of PPS on arthritic profiles based on clinical score, ankle size, histological changes, and activity of inflammatory mediators using collagen-induced

Activation of human macrophages by allogeneic islets preparations: inhibition by AOP-RANTES and heparinoids.

Only registered users can translate articles

During transplantation, pancreatic islets release chemokines which promote macrophage attraction, hampering engraftment of islets. The aim of this study was to modulate chemotaxis and the immune response of human macrophages induced by islets. Human monocyte-derived macrophages of healthy subjects

Modulation of cytokine-induced prostaglandin E₂ production in cultures of articular chondrocytes obtained from carpal joints of camels (Camelus dromedarius).

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine whether camel articular chondrocytes can be maintained in tissue culture without phenotype loss and whether the response to cytokine stimulation can be modulated. METHODS Cartilage from 4 carpal joints of healthy adult dromedary camels (Camelus

Inflammatory Kinetics and Efficacy of Anti-inflammatory Treatments on Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS Human nucleus pulposus (NP) cell culture study investigating response to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), effectiveness of clinically available anti-inflammatory drugs, and interactions between proinflammatory cytokines. OBJECTIVE To characterize the kinetic response of proinflammatory
