Peptides regulate expression of signaling molecules in kidney cell cultures during in vitro aging

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2014 Jun;157(2):261-4. doi: 10.1007/s10517-014-2540-y. Epub 2014 Jun 24.

Abstract

We studied the effect of polypeptide complex isolated from calf kidney and short peptides T-31 (AED) and T-35 (EDL) on the expression of signaling molecules, markers of cell renewal (Ki-67, p53), remodeling of the extracellular matrix (MMP-14), and immune response (IL-8) in primary kidney cell cultures during aging. The complex of renal polypeptides and T-31 peptide activate cell renewal processes during aging of the renal epithelium, while gelatinase MMP-14 is the target of T-35 peptide.
