Rhein reversal of DNA hypermethylation-associated Klotho suppression ameliorates renal fibrosis in mice
5 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Renal fibrosis is the hallmark of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and its development and progression are significantly affected by epigenetic modifications. Rhein, a plant-derived anthraquinone, displays strong anti-fibrosis properties, but its protective mode of action remains incompletely understood. Here we explore the mechanism of Rhein anti-renal fibrosis by investigating its regulation of Klotho, a known...
