pubmed-article:18097150 | pubmed:abstractText | Apoptosis has been implicated in renal ischemic injury, the regulating mechanism of which is still unclear. Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) participate in inflammation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. In the in vitro model of renal ischemic injury, we explored the role of the STAT3, a major component of the STAT family, in apoptosis of human proximal tubular epithelial cell (HKC) induced by ATP depletion/recovery. | lld:pubmed |
