Canonical Wnt Signaling Promotes Macrophage Proliferation during Kidney Fibrosis
1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wnt/β-catenin, an evolutionary conserved signaling pathway, plays an essential role in modulating kidney injury and repair. Our previous studies demonstrated that Wnt/β-catenin signaling could stimulate macrophage M2 polarization and contribute to kidney fibrosis. However, whether canonical Wnt signaling activation leads to macrophage proliferation during kidney fibrosis remains to be determined....
