Among a large number of differentially expressed genes, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8 (CCL8) was significantly upregulated in most glomerulopathies with fibrosis, compared to minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which were fibrotic, and inflammatory processes were reduced in disease progression. The gene discussed is CCL8; the disease is focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
