The concept of glomerular self-defense Kitamura M; Fine LGKidney Int 1999[May]; 55 (5): 1639-71The balance between local offense factors and defense machinery determines the fate of tissue injury: progression or resolution. In glomerular research, the most interest has been on the offensive side, for example, the roles of leukocytes, platelets, complement, cytokines, eicosanoids, and oxygen radical intermediates. There has been little focus on the defensive side, which is responsible for the attenuation and resolution of disease. The aim of this review is to address possible mechanisms of local defense that may be exerted during glomerular injury. Cytokine inhibitors, proteinase inhibitors, complement regulatory proteins, anti-inflammatory cytokines, anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, antithrombotic molecules, and extracellular matrix proteins can participate in the extracellular and/or cell surface defense. Heat shock proteins, antioxidants, protein phosphatases, and cyclin kinase inhibitors may contribute to the intracellular defense. This article outlines how the glomerulus, when faced with injurious cells or exposed to pathogenic mediators, defends itself via the intrinsic machinery that is brought into play in resident glomerular cells.|Glomerulonephritis/*immunology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immune System/*immunology[MESH]|Kidney Glomerulus/*immunology[MESH] |
