Dickkopf-3 in aberrant endothelial secretome triggers renal fibroblast activation and endothelial–mesenchymal transition
25 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that Sirt1endo-/- mice show endothelial dysfunction and exaggerated renal fibrosis, whereas mice with silenced endothelial transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling are resistant to fibrogenic signals. Considering the fact that the only difference between these mutant mice is confined to the vascular endothelium, this indicates that secreted...
