Abstract excerpt
C5b-9-induced glomerular epithelial cell (GEC) injury in vivo (in passive Heymann nephritis) and in culture is associated with damage to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and increased expression of ER stress proteins. Induction of ER stress proteins is enhanced via cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and limits complement-dependent cytotoxicity. The present study addresses another aspect of the ER unfolded...
