Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential role of FHL2 (four and a half LIM domains protein 2) in the renal interstitial fibrosis and its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: NRK-52E, the rat tubular epithelial cell line, was selected for the in vitro experiments. The unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse model and phenotype changes of NRK-52E cells were induced by TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β)...
