Research Abstract |
Expression of receptor tyrosine kinase Ror2 is induced in the affected kidneys of UUO model mice by western blotting. Further, MMP-2, involved in disruption of basement membrane, is induced in Ror2-positive renal epithelial cells by immunofluorescence. Expectedly, disrupted basement membrane is observed in the neighborhood of Ror2-positive cells, indicating crucial role of Wnt5a-Ror2 signaling in the progression of renal malfunction.
