ABSTRACT: Introduction
Interleukin-34 (IL-34) shares a receptor (cFMS) with colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), and these two ligands mediate macrophage proliferation. However, in contrast to CSF-1, the influence of IL-34 on tubular epithelial cells (TECs) injury remains unclear. We investigated the physiological effects of IL-34 on TEC damage caused by cisplatin nephrotoxicity (CP-N).Methods
Mice were administered anti-mouse IL-34 antibody (anti-IL-34 Ab; 400 ng/kg) or vehicle from 1 day before and up to 2 days after CP-N induction. In vitro, mouse renal proximal TECs (MRPTEpiC) were cultured to analyze the inhibitory effects of IL-34 on CP-induced TEC apoptosis.Results
Compared to vehicle treatment, anti-IL-34 Ab treatment significantly suppressed the intra-renal expressio
