Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We examined whether dedifferentiation is necessary for cell division of proximal tubule (PT) cells after acute PT injury. METHODS: Rats were injected with a low (0.2 mg/kg) or high (4 mg/kg) dose of uranyl acetate (UA) to induce acute PT injury. Proliferating PT cells were labelled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) before sacrifice. Renal tissues were examined by double labelling of BrdU and megalin,...
