Endosulfan promotes cell proliferation and extracellular matrix accumulation through TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in HRMCs

Endosulfan is an organochlorine pesticide, which poses a potential danger to human health and safety. It is known that dysfunction of glomerular mesangial cells causes glomerular sclerosis, associated with chronic kidney diseases. In the present study, we investigated the effects of endosulfan on ce...

It is known that dysfunction of glomerular mesangial cells causes glomerular sclerosis, associated with chronic kidney diseases. In the present study, we investigated the effects of endosulfan on cell proliferation and extracellular matrix accumulation (ECM) in human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs).
