Hirudin Reduces the Expression of Markers of the Extracellular Matrix in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells in a Rat Model of Diabetic Kidney Disease Through the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α)/Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Signaling Pathway
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effects of hirudin on the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) factors by renal tubular epithelial cells in a rat model of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and HK-2 human renal tubule epithelial cells. MATERIAL/METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were divide...
