Journal ArticleDOI
Local VEGF activity but not VEGF expression is tightly regulated during diabetic nephropathy in man
TL;DR: Diabetic nephropathy is associated with glomerular capillary rarefaction, and the decreased receptor-bound VEGF on the endothelium may be an indicator of an insufficient capillary repair reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of NO-synthase expression and clinical risk factors in human diabetic nephropathy
Bernd Hohenstein,Christian Hugo,Birgit Hausknecht,K. Boehmer,Regine Riess,Roland E. Schmieder +5 more
TL;DR: Increased eNOS expression by the renal endothelium could be demonstrated in type 2 diabetic nephropathy, whereas iNOS was unchanged but spatially differentially expressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of enhanced thrombospondin-1 expression, TGF-β signalling and proteinuria in human type-2 diabetic nephropathy
Bernd Hohenstein,Christoph Daniel,Birgit Hausknecht,K. Boehmer,Regine Riess,Kerstin Amann,Christian Hugo +6 more
TL;DR: The present study suggests a functional activity of the TSP-1/TGF-β axis, especially in the tubulointerstitium of patients with diabetic nephropathy, and the positive correlation of glomerular p-smad2/3 positivity with proteinuria further supports the importance of the H2O/TSP system as a relevant mechanism for progression of human type-2 diabetic neephropathy.
