| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The role of alternatively activated macrophages (M2) in progression of chronic kidney disease was examined by immunohistological staining of biopsy specimen and in vitro studies using human monocyte-derived macrophage.
We found that M2 exerted an anti-inflammatory effect at the site of inflamed-tissue, while playing a role in the progression of chronic lesions. In addition, we found that steroid, a widely used drug in the treatment of kidney diseases, could augment the chronic lesion. Combined treatment with antimetabolite could counteract the steroid-induced M2 activation, and might be useful for the treatment of CKD.
