Abstract excerpt
In the rat, p53 promotes tubular apoptosis after ischemic AKI. Acute pharmacologic inhibition of p53 is protective in this setting, but chronic inhibition enhances fibrosis, demonstrating that the role of p53 in ischemic AKI is incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether genetic absence of p53 is also protective in ischemic AKI. Surprisingly, p53-knockout mice (p53(-/-)) had worse kidney injury,...
