Genome-Wide Gene Expression Profiling of Randall’s Plaques in Calcium Oxalate Stone Formers
13 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
Randall plaques (RPs) can contribute to the formation of idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones; however, genes related to RP formation have not been identified. We previously reported the potential therapeutic role of osteopontin (OPN) and macrophages in CaOx kidney stone formation, discovered using genome-recombined mice and genome-wide analyses. Here, to characterize the genetic pathogenesis of RPs,...
