| Research Abstract |
FSP1-positive podocytes were observed in active glomerular damage. In this study, we investigated whether secreted FSP1 from podocytes has some biological effects on cultured mesangial cells through secreted FSP1 receptor, RAGE. We newly found that recombinant FSP1 induced five renoprotective factors and suppressed one factor associated with glomerular injury in cultured mesangial cells and these induction and suppression were not mediated through RAGE. These results suggest that secreted FSP1 has renoprotective effects and play a role in podocyte-mesangial crosstalk.
