- _6 value "We conclude that glucose increases AII production by mesangial cells, which results in stimulation of TGF-beta1 secretion, decreased matrix degradation, and increased matrix accumulation. These effects of AII are mediated by the AT1 receptor. Collagenase activity in cell medium was determined using three methods: 1) zymography; 2) quantitative assay using fluoresceinated gelatin as substrate; and 3) a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that specifically measures 72-kDa collagenase (MMP-2), the principal collagenase synthesized by mesangial cells." provenance.
