1 In this study, using in vitro and in vivo models, we examined the effects of cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) on OPN mRNA and protein expression. Cyclosporine secreted phosphoprotein 1 Mus musculus
2 In this study, using in vitro and in vivo models, we examined the effects of cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) on OPN mRNA and protein expression. Cyclosporine secreted phosphoprotein 1 Mus musculus
3 We also examined if CsA- and TAC-induced OPN expression is dependent on transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta expression. Cyclosporine secreted phosphoprotein 1 Mus musculus
4 The expression of OPN was also studied in CsA-treated PTE cells with and without anti-TGF-beta antibody. Cyclosporine secreted phosphoprotein 1 Mus musculus
5 OPN may contribute to the CsA- and TAC-induced nephrotoxicity in organ transplant recipients and the increased OPN expression might be mediated by TGF-beta. Cyclosporine secreted phosphoprotein 1 Mus musculus
