Research Abstract |
In this study, Kidney crystal formation in the MetS environment increased OPN and MCP-1 expression, and decreased SOD expression in renal tissue. Collectively, APN is possible to prevent kidney stone by regulating inflammation and oxidative stress at the biomolecular level. Next, the renal tubular epithelial cells and adipocytes showed characteristic expression patterns of kidney stone-related genes in the coculture. These phenomena might be due to MetS environment-induced paracrine system between renal tubular epithelial cells and adipocytes, and suggests that MetS environment may lead to kidney stone formation.
