| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To obtain specific peptide for kidney tubule and tubulointerstitial region, phage-displayed peptide library was injected into Zucker diabetic fatty rats. Then phage specifically accumulated in tubule and tubulointerstitial region were isolated. And some phage specifically accumulated in RAGE protein expressed in tubule of diabetic nephropathy were isolated. Moreover, we prepared liposome with directional quality to fibrotic area and examined its bio-distribution in crescentic glomerulonephritis. Results showed that liposome had directional quality to fibrotic area.
We have already succeeded in preparing liposome-encapsulated steroid drug. Next we will examine the bio-distribution and therapeutic effect of liposome-encapsulated steroid drug with directional quality to kidney tubule and tubulointerstitial region in Zucker diabetic fatty rats.
