Functional activity of epidermal growth factor receptors in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Evidence from a number of laboratories suggests a potential role for the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-transforming growth factor-alpha-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) axis in promoting epithelial hyperplasia and cyst formation in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). As previously reported, in the C57BL-6Jcpk/cpk (CPK), BALB/c-bpk/bpk (BPK), and C3H-orpk/orpk (ORPK) murine models of...
