Myofibroblast differentiation: plasma membrane microdomains and cell phenotype.

Experimental nephrology - 1 Jan 2002

Schelling Jeffery R, Sinha Sumita, Konieczkowski Martha, Sedor John R

Abstract excerpt

Myofibroblast differentiation characterizes a prominent cellular phenotype identified in experimental models of progressive kidney disease and human kidney biopsies. Mesangial cells, tubulointerstitial fibroblasts and, perhaps, tubular epithelial cells undergo myofibroblast differentiation, a process characterized by alpha-actin expression, synthesis of interstitial collagens and a growth response. Inhibition of...
