| Research Abstract |
We have shown that the kidney stone formations are significantly suppressed by the administration of CsA. In addition, we have succeeded in suppressing apoptosis and generation of oxidative stress by preventing mitochondrial collapes by blocking the mPTP opening. The result of this study showed that the mPTP opening via cyclophilin D activity induced the renal tubular cell injury through the apoptosis and oxidative stress in the initial process of kidney stone formations. I thought that this study can be applied to the development of new therapeutic agents for kdneystone disease.
