Journal ArticleDOI
Nephritis-Associated Plasmin Receptor and Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis: Characterization of the Antigen and Associated Immune Response
Nobuyuki Yoshizawa,Kazuo Yamakami,Masayuki Fujino,Takashi Oda,Kikuko Tamura,Koichi Matsumoto,Tetsuzo Sugisaki,Michael D.P. Boyle +7 more
TL;DR: The role of nephritis-associated antigen as a virulence factor for acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) remains to be fully clarified and antibody titers remained elevated during the entire 10-yr follow-up period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of gene silencing pyrrole-imidazole polyamide targeting the TGF-beta1 promoter for treatment of progressive renal diseases.
Hiroyuki Matsuda,Noboru Fukuda,Takahiro Ueno,Yoshiko Tahira,Hirohito Ayame,Wen Zhang,Toshikazu Bando,Hiroshi Sugiyama,Satoshi Saito,Koichi Matsumoto,Hideo Mugishima,Kazuo Serie +11 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Py-Im polyamide that targets TGF-beta1 will be a novel gene-silencing agent for the TGF -beta1-associated diseases, including progressive renal diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Losartan Improves the Impaired Function of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Hypertension via an Antioxidant Effect
En-Hui Yao,Noboru Fukuda,Taro Matsumoto,Naohiko Kobayashi,Mayumi Katakawa,Chii Yamamoto,Akiko Tsunemi,Ryo Suzuki,Takahiro Ueno,Koichi Matsumoto +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first report to show that losartan improves the proliferation and function of EPCs in hypertension, suggesting that ARBs are useful to repair hypertensive vascular injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of lipid-lowering therapy with rosuvastatin on kidney function and oxidative stress in patients with diabetic nephropathy
Masanori Abe,Noriaki Maruyama,Kazuyoshi Okada,Shiro Matsumoto,Koichi Matsumoto,Masayoshi Soma +5 more
TL;DR: Rosuvastatin administration reduced albuminuria, oxidative stress, and serum cystatin C levels, independent of blood pressure and lipid levels, as well as the LDL-C/ HDL-C ratio in the rosuvastatin group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of an ARB on endothelial progenitor cell function and cardiovascular oxidation in hypertension.
Yi Yu,Noboru Fukuda,En-Hui Yao,Taro Matsumoto,Naohiko Kobayashi,Ryo Suzuki,Yoshiko Tahira,Takahiro Ueno,Koichi Matsumoto +8 more
TL;DR: Candelesartan, an ARB, improves EPC dysfunction and increases cardiac c-kit expression through the anti-oxidative mechanism in hypertension.
