Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I focused on matrixi metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) which is increased in glomeruli by deletion of natriuretic peptide receptor. MMMP-10 was increased at the proliferative lesions in the renal biopsy specimen. ALDO, which means aldosterone infusion, heninephrectomy and high salt diet, stimulated systemic GC-A and MMP-10 double knockout (KO) mice exhibited less glomerular injury and albuminuria. In addition, podocyte-specific GC-A KO and MMP-10 KO double KO mice also showed similar results. In conclusion, inhibition of MMP-10 could be a potential target against renal injury.
