Integrin β3 Induction Promotes Tubular Cell Senescence and Kidney Fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

Tubular cell senescence is a common biologic process and contributes to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the molecular mechanisms regulating tubular cell senescence are poorly understood. Here, we report that integrin β3 (ITGB3) expression was increased in tubular cells and positively correlated with fibrosis degree in CKD patients. ITGB3 overexpression could induce p53 pathway activation...
