Research Abstract |
Research I. Clinical significance and characterization of elevated serum M-CSF in dialysis patients with emphasis on atherosclerosis Summary 1 : We speculated that one of the causes of elevated serum M-CSF is an osteoblast that is strongly stimulate by hyper parathyroidism which is rather common in dialysis patients. Research II. Atherosclerosis in uremic mice model : In vivo relevance of SR and M-CSF to uremia-associated atherosclerosis Summary 2 : Our data suggested that uremic condition itself accelerated atherosclerosis and under a hyperlipidemic diet. The crosstalk among SR expression, M-CSF, and atherosclerosis is not clear as yet in this study. In addition, in vivo secondary hyperparathyroidism observed in uremic patients though, exogenous PTH may elevate M-CSF from bone, leading to the elevation of serum levels of M-CSF.
