Thrombomodulin ameliorates transforming growth factor-β1-mediated chronic kidney disease via the G-protein coupled receptor 15/Akt signal pathway.

abstract：:Proliferation of mesangial cells is frequently found in glomerulonephritis, such as IgA glomerulonephritis. Recent reports suggest that a brain/embryo-type myosin isoform (MIIB2) is involved in cell proliferation. We have studied the expression of MIIB2 in renal biopsy samples from patients with various renal diseases...
