Angiotensin II (AII) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) are closely involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). AII is known to induce TGF-beta production in resident renal cells, including glomerular mesangial cells and tubular epithelial cells. TGF-beta receptor types I and II (TGF-betaRI, II) are up-regulated in the diabetic kidney. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of AII in the regulation of the TGF-beta system in the early stage of DN using AII type1a receptor-deficient(AT1a(-/-)) mice.
