1 KEY FINDINGS: Pkd1 miRNA transgenic (Pkd1 miR TG) mice treated with 1 mg/kg/day of celastrol exhibited a lower renal cystic index (by 21.5%) than the vehicle-treated controls, but the fractional kidney weights and blood urea nitrogen levels were not significantly affected with celastrol treatment. celastrol microRNA 615 Mus musculus
2 Moreover, celastrol reduced the renal mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, P2RX7, F4/80, CD68, transforming growth factor-beta, collagen-1, and fibronectin, which were high in the Pkd1 miR TG mice. celastrol microRNA 615 Mus musculus
