Abstract excerpt
Cyclosporine A (CsA) significantly improves the success of organ transplantation, however renal fibrosis, characterised by severe tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a complication of CsA therapy. Previously we have reported the involvement of PKC-beta isoforms in a model of CsA-induced tubulointerstitial fibrosis and we have now further elucidated this role. Treatment of human proximal tubular epithelial cells with...
