and
efferent glomerular arterioles.
Mesangial cells

synthesize both matrix and collagen, and secrete biologically active substances (prostaglandins and endothelins). Endothelins induce
constriction of afferent and efferent glomerular arterioles.
Mesangial cells

participate indirectly in the glomerular filtration process by:
-Providing mechanical support for the glomerular capillaries.
-Controlling the turnover of the glomerular basal lamina material by their phagocytic activity.
-Regulating blood flow by their contractile activity.
-Secreting prostaglandins and endothelins.
-Responding to angiotensin II.

Glomerular Dz
glomerulonephritis
Antibody-antigen complexes are not immunologically targeted to glomerular components.

Glomerular Dz
They are trapped in the glomerulus because of the filtration properties of the glomerular filtration barrier.
Autoantibodies can target domains of type

Glomerular Dz
IV collagen,
Immune complexes can deposit between the endothelial cells of the glomerular capillaries and the basal lamina (subendothelial deposits), in the mesangium, and less frequently between the basal lamina and the foot processes of podocytes (subepithelial deposits).
