Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Renal bilateral fluid filled-cyst in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is associated with abnormal epithelial cell proliferation and transepithelial fluid secretion which leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). A chalcone derivative, isoliquiritigenin (ISLQ), has been shown to have various pharmacological properties. Since several studies have shown that ISLQ could inhibit CFTR channel activity, it is...
