Several studies have observed transgelin upregulation in other animal models: in the anti-GBM nephritis animal model in parietal epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule [6], [9], [17], in the 5/6 nephrectomy animal model in interstitial fibroblasts and glomerular epithelial cells [7], in the puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis animal model only in glomerular epithelial cells [7], in the adriamycin nephropathy and passive nephrotoxic nephritis animal models also in glomerular epithelial cells [8], [17], [18], in anti-Thy-1 nephritis animal model in mesangial cells [19]. This evidence concerns the gene THY1 and nephritis.
