Ets-1 Targeted by MicroRNA-221 Regulates Angiotensin II-Induced Renal Fibroblast Activation and Fibrosis
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibroblast activation is one of the most important mechanisms for Angiotensin II (Ang II) in promoting renal fibrosis. Transcription factor Ets-1 is recognized to play a key role in kidney diseases. However, the role and mechanisms of Ets-1 in Ang-II induced fibroblast activation and kidney fibrosis are not fully understood. METHODS: Mice were treated with Ang II via osmotic mini-pumps or Ang II...
