While IRI caused a distinct up-regulation in the mRNA expression levels of Icam1, Vcam1 and, especially, in the case of Kim1 (which serves as an indicator of kidney injury [60]), ROCK-inhibition led to significantly lower expression levels of Icam1 and Kim1 while Vcam1 expression was not significantly attenuated. This evidence concerns the gene VCAM1 and urogenital neoplasm.
