Expanding the spectrum of systemic amyloid diseases: a new hint from the kidney.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The clinical use of cyclosporine (CsA) is limited by its nephrotoxicity. Apoptosis, perhaps instigated by increased nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity, may play a role in such toxicity. METHODS:Human mesangial cells, human tubular cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, or murine endothelial cells ...
