Silencing of RSPO1 mitigates obesity-related renal fibrosis in mice by deactivating Wnt/ β-catenin pathway
Exp Cell Res. 2021 Jun 25:112713. doi: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2021.112713. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObesity, a global epidemic, is one of the critical causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). R-spondin1 (RSPO1) possessing the potential to activate Wnt/β-catenin pathway was reported to be elevated in circulation of obesity objects. However, the function of RSPO1 and the latent mechanism in obesity-related CKD are still left to be revealed. In the present study, renal RSPO1 expression was increased in mice fed on high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks. Lentivirus-mediated RSPO1 knockdown partly recovered obesity-related metabolic sy...
