Research Abstract |
I examined the role of neutral calponin(nCT) in the interstitial injury of both kidneys and heart in old nCT-transgenic mice. for studying the mechanism for cardio-renal association in CKD. Old nCT-Tg mice showed suppression of interstitial inflammation in the kidney and of the development of interstitial fibrosis in both heart and kidneys. Therefore, the induction of nCT may provide a new way to suppress the development of both CKD and CVD23 in old-age CKD patients.
