(1980) observed iron deposition in renal
proximal tubule cells, along with lead-associated histopathological lesions in the kidney, following administration of lead via drinking water to rats.
Endocytosis of light chains induces cytokines through activation of NF-[kappa]B in human
proximal tubule cells.

We have previously demonstrated that pioglitazone induces NHE3 and AQP1 protein expression in human primary
proximal tubule cells [14].
Kidney of the control rats has shown normal distribution of collagen fibers around Malpigian corpuscles and in brush border of
proximal tubules (Figure 6a).
Disintegrated proximal, distal and collecting tubule with pycnotic nuclei in
proximal tubule and hematopoietic tissue having clump of cells containing hyper chromatic nuclei were noted at 100 mg/L (Fig.
It has further been shown that the effect of Ang II to increase proximal tubular chloride and water reabsorption decreases by about 75 per cent following renal denervation and only a very small portion of the Ang II effect ([approximately equal to]25%) can be ascribed to a direct action on Ang II receptors located on
proximal tubules (4,8).
Metallothionein isoform 3 and
proximal tubule vectorial active transport.
[6] Last but not least, experimental studies have pointed out that the initial lesion appears to be crystal formation along the brush border of the
proximal tubule, with eventual crystal deposition in collecting ducts and papillary interstitium, and eventual tubule obstruction, interstitial inflammation, and fibrosis.
Although the precise biochemical function of [Na.sup.+]-ATPase and its exact physiological role in mammalian intestinal cells remains unraveled, it has been proposed an important role of this enzyme on extracellular volume control by the fine tuning of renal sodium excretion, being a target for autacoids and hormonal selective regulation in
proximal tubule cells (20-25).
(1999; 2001; 2003a; 2003b; 2005; Zager and Kalhorn, 2000) studied kidney responses to several forms of injury such as renal failure, sepsis, endotoxemia, ischemia-reperfusion or oxidative stress, and they showed that
proximal tubule cells undergo some adaptive changes for protection from subsequent hazards.
