IHG-2, a Mesangial Cell Gene Induced by High Glucose, Is Human gremlin
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
We used cloning in silico coupled with polymerase chain reaction to demonstrate that IHG-2 is part of the 3'-untranslated region of gremlin, a member of the DAN family of secreted proteins that antagonize the bioactivities of members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily. Mesangial cell gremlin mRNA levels were induced by high glucose, cyclic mechanical strain, and TGF-beta1 in vitro, and...
