Regulation of podoplanin expression by microRNA-29b associates with its antiapoptotic effect in angiotensin II-induced injury of human podocytes
5 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Angiotensin (Ang)II is involved in induction of proteinuria, renal injury, and apoptosis and thus a major contributor to the development of chronic kidney disease. Podocytes are of major importance for the pathogenesis of several kidney diseases. Decrease of podoplanin (PDPN) in podocytes and podocyte loss has been associated with the development of proteinuria. Little is known about the regulation...
