Effect of IgA Aggregates on Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Production in Human Mesangial Cells and the Intraglomerular Expression of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 in Patients with IgA Nephropathy
BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) stimulates renal fibrosis in various renal diseases including IgA nephropathy. METHODS: We examined whether immunoglobulin A (IgA) stimulated TGF-β1 synthesis in human mesangial cells (MCs), and whether this effect was mediated through the protein kin...
