NLRP3 and acute kidney injury: Taken together, our results demonstrated that oxidative stress-upregulated FIP1 amplified inflammation, fibrogenesis, ROS production and apoptosis via inducing 3′UTR shortening of NLRP3, highlighting the importance of crosstalk between oxidative stress and alternative polyadenylation in AKI-CKD transition, as well as the therapeutic potential of FIP1 in kidney injury treatment.
