Considering the potential influence of cytokine storms on ANGPTL4 expression in peritumoral kidney tissues reported by Del Nogal Avila M et al.26, we expanded the control group to include patients with interstitial nephritis (n = 3) and three additional donor kidney tissues, in addition to normal peritumoral kidney tissues (n = 3). The gene discussed is ANGPTL4; the disease is interstitial nephritis.
