In a rat model of renal fibrosis and in cell-based assay systems, TGFβ1 stimulation was associated with increased NOX4 expression and H2O2 production, while reduced NOX4 expression by siRNA-mediated knockdown decreased ROS production and expression of profibrotic proteins including collagen, α-SMA, and fibronectin (34). The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is renal fibrosis.
