Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We revealed several genes that were regulated by STAT5B on human T cells. Some of the genes were corresponding to the phenotype of idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome in children. When we analyzed the serum from the patients with idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, a substance was found which serum levels were associated with urinary protein/urinary creatinine levels. This is the first time to report the association of the substance and the status of idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. In next step, we are planning to find how the substance effects on the pathophysiology of idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome.
