Matrix Protein Tenascin-C Promotes Kidney Fibrosis via STAT3 activation in Response to Tubular Injury

2022-10-10

Abstract excerpt

Accumulating evidence indicates that the extracellular matrix (ECM) is not only a consequence of fibrosis, but also contributes to the progression of fibrosis, by creating a pro-fibrotic microenvironment. Tenascin-C (TNC) is an ECM glycoprotein that contains multiple functional domains. We showed that following kidney injury, TNC was markedly induced in fibrotic areas in the kidney from both mouse models and human...
