Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)(2023)
摘要
Renal interstitial fibrosis is the final common pathway in the process of all kidney diseases, and it results in chronic kidney disease. CCN2 is an important factor in the pathogenesis of renal interstitial fibrosis, and analysis of its function can lead to treatments for chronic kidney disease. Since CCN2 knockout mice are developmentally lethal, generation of conditional knockout mice is essential for in vivo analysis. Since CCN2 is expressed in a variety of cells in the kidney, including podocytes, mesangial cells, pericytes, and tubular epithelial cells, it is necessary to perform cell-specific verification of the cells that play a central role in fibrosis. However, cell-specific validation using the Cre/loxP system in vivo has only been performed in mesangial cells. In our research program, we are focusing on the role of CCN2 in tubular epithelial cells in renal fibrogenesis. In this report, we introduce the creation of a tubular epithelial cell-specific knockout model and method of its analysis.
