TNF-α-mediated podocyte injury via the apoptotic death receptor pathway in a mouse model of IgA nephropathy
14 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease worldwide and it is characterized by mesangial IgA deposits. Proteinuria is a common clinical feature of IgAN, which has a critical connection to podocyte injury and has been used as a clinical prognostic factor for IgAN. Evidence has shown that TNF-α released from mesangial cells may lead to podocyte apoptosis. METHODS: Forty male...
