Backgrounds: Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) constitutes the ultimate pathological alteration in nearly all chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (MSC-CM) exhibits an alleviating impact on renal fibrosis; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The objective of this study was to explore whether MSC-CM regulates the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Nuclear receptor coactivators (NCOA1), and SRY-related high mobility (Sox9).

Human parainfluenza viruses (hPIVs) are causative agents of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and they have four serotypes. The virion surface displays hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), having hemagglutinating (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) activities in a single molecule. The HA activity binds the virion to sialic acid on the viral receptor on host cells and the NA releases the progeny viruses from the cell surface.
