Anti-fibrotic effect of 6-bromo-indirubin-3′-oxime (6-BIO) via regulation of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and specificity protein-1 (SP-1) transcription factors in kidney cells
PAI-1 and CTGF are overexpressed in kidney diseases and cause fibrosis of the lungs, liver, and kidneys. We used a rat model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) to investigate whether 6-BIO, a glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitor, attenuated fibrosis by inhibiting PAI-1 and CTGF in vivo. Addit...
