Peptide 17 alleviates early hypertensive renal injury by regulating the Hippo/YAP signalling pathway.

Aim: Hypertensive nephropathy is embodied by kidney tissue fibrosis and glomerular sclerosis, as well as renal inflammation. The Hippo/YAP (yes-associated protein, YAP) axis has been reported to promote inflammation and fibrosis and may participate in the pathogenesis of heart, vascular and renal injuries. However, the role of the Hippo/YAP pathway in hypertensive renal injury has not been reported so far.

[Effect of Kangxianling Recipe on p38MAPK/NF-KBp65 Mediated Inflammatory Factors in 5/6 Nephrectomized Mice].

Objective To observe effects of Kangxianling Recipe ( KXLR) on p38MAPK/NF- κBp65 mediated inflammatory factors in chronic renal failure ( CRF) model mice. Methods Totally 56 C57BL/6J male mice (18 -22 g) were recruited in this experiment. Ten were randomly selected as a sham-operation group.
