Aldosterone-induced modification of osmoregulated ENaC trafficking.

abstract：:It is controversial whether osteopontin (OP) is expressed in glomeruli and involved in glomerular diseases. We examined whether the OP expression is present at gene and protein levels in cultured rat mesangial cells (MCs). Northern blotting revealed a 1.7 kb OP-mRNA expression in MCs. Fetal calf serum (FCS) and TNF-al...
