Diabetes Mellitus Promotes Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation in Mouse Ureteral Tissue through the P-ERK/P-JNK/VEGF/PKC Signaling Pathway

Conclusions: Hyperproliferation of ureteral smooth muscle was observed in DM mice, but not in normal mice. The pathways mediated by P-ERK, P-JNK, VEGF, and PKC may play an important role in pathological ureteral conditions.PMID:34206139 | PMC:PMC8230221 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57060560
