Description
Mesangial proliferation is a common feature of many glomerular diseases, therefore, understanding the regulatory mechanism is important for the treatment of glomerular diseases. The present study showed growth arrest gene-6 (Gas6) is a new autocrine growth factor of mesangial cells and warfarin inhibited mesangial proliferation by inhibiting γ-carboxylation of Gas 6 in vitro and in vivo. We also found vitamin D anlog (22-oxa-calcitriol) is a new growth regulator for mesangial cells in vivo. These results indicate that these compounds have considerable potential for use as therapeutic strategy in the treatment of progressive glomerular disease.
