RNA sequencing analysis of human podocytes reveals glucocorticoid regulated gene networks targeting non-immune pathways
24 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids are steroids that reduce inflammation and are used as immunosuppressive drugs for many diseases. They are also the mainstay for the treatment of minimal change nephropathy (MCN), which is characterised by an absence of inflammation. Their mechanisms of action remain elusive. Evidence suggests that immunomodulatory drugs can directly act on glomerular epithelial cells or 'podocytes', the cell type...
