Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Essentials Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) promotes diabetic nephropathy (DN) outcome improvement. Renal expression and shedding of EPCR were measured in diabetic patients with or without DN. Inhibition of metalloproteinase-driven EPCR shedding restored glomerular endothelium phenotype. EPCR shedding through metalloproteinase ADAM17 contributes to the worsening of DN. SUMMARY: Background...
