Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of microvesicles containing microRNA-21 in renal interstitial fibrosis and its possible mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The renal interstitial fibrosis model was established by unilateral ureteral obstruction, and proximal tubule epithelial cell line (NRK52E) was used for cell model. The phenotype changes of the microvesicles containing microRNA-21 secreted by tubule cells...
