Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays an important role in the development of tubulointerstitial fibrosis in chronic renal disease. We were interested whether interference with oxygen radicals may modulate TGF-beta expression. Unexpectedly, we discovered that diphenylene iodine (DIP), an inhibitor of NADP(H) oxidase, induces a robust increase in TGF-beta transcript expression in cultured mouse proximal...
