renal/urinary system
• following unilateral uretal obstruction, mice exhibit enhanced myofibroblast activation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition and matrix production, as determined by marker expression, compared with wild-type mice
|
• primary cultured renal tubular cells treated with Wnt3a exhibit increased epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition, as determined by marker expression, compared with wild-type cells
|
• aggravated following unilateral uretal obstruction
|
growth/size/body
• until 17 weeks in female mice
• in male mice from 17 weeks on
|
• mild in adults, especially males
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• mice exhibit normal lipid metabolism
|
• following unilateral uretal obstruction, mice exhibit enhanced myofibroblast activation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition and matrix production, as determined by marker expression, and aggravated renal interstitial fibrosis compared with wild-type mice
