Endothelial Dysfunction Exacerbates Renal Interstitial Fibrosis through Enhancing Fibroblast Smad3 Linker Phosphorylation in the Mouse Obstructed Kidney

Endothelial dysfunction and enhanced transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad3 signalling are common features of progressive renal fibrosis. This study investigated a potential link between these mechanisms. In unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO) we observed an acute (6 hr) down-regulation of nit...
