Notch和TGF信号通路对话在肾间质纤维化的研究

    A study on the relationship between Notch and TGF signal pathways in renal interstitial fibrosis

    • 摘要: 肾间质纤维化是许多慢性肾脏疾病发展过程中的必经阶段,信号通路调控多种功能基因的转录和参与许多重要的生理病理过程,信号通路在肾间质纤维化发生、发展过程中发挥着重要作用,其中TGF和Notch信号通路均参与肾纤维化的发生、发展,通过干预TGF和Notch信号通路可延缓肾间质纤维化的进展。研究表明,TGF信号通路与Notch信号通路既独立发挥作用,又存在对话间相互作用。既调控各信号通路组分的活性,又调控共同下游靶基因和表达产物,由此调节肾间质纤维化的发生、发展。因此,进一步研究两条通路的关系可能为抗肾纤维化研究提供新切入点。

       

      Abstract: Renal interstitial fibrosis is a necessary stage in the development of many chronic renal diseases. Signal pathways regulate the transcription of a variety of functional genes and participate in many important physiological and pathological processes. Signal pathways play an important role in the occurrence and development of renal interstitial fibrosis. Both TGF and Notch signaling pathways are involved in the occurrence and development of renal fibrosis. Intervention of TGF and Notch signaling pathways can delay the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis. It is shown that TGF signaling pathway and Notch signaling pathway not only play an independent role, but also interact with each other. Both of them not only regulate the activity of each signal pathway component, but also regulate the common downstream target genes and expression products, so as to regulate the occurrence and development of renal interstitial fibrosis. Therefore, further studies of the relationship between the two pathways may provide a new entry point for the study of anti-renal fibrosis.
