Vectorial secretion of CTGF as a cell-type specific response to LPA and TGF-β in human tubular epithelial cells

BACKGROUND: Increased expression of the pro-fibrotic protein connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has been detected in injured kidneys and elevated urinary levels of CTGF are discussed as prognostic marker of chronic kidney disease.
