[Inflammatory mechanisms of renal fibrosis: glomerulonephritis].
Studies of glomerulonephritis models have shown that inflammatory reaction is responsible for the development of glomerulosclerosis and tubulo-interstitial sclerosis and, hence, for the progression to end stage renal failure. That macrophage accumulation and fibrosis extension are frequently not closely related events suggests that macrophages are not involved in progression process. Glomerular sclerosis is rather associated with the release of mediators from resident cells-mainly growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta--the synthesis and bioactivity of which are enhanced by inflammatory mediators. Tubulo-interstitial sclerosis is induced by inflammatory lesions of the glomerulus that lead to proteinuria. Indeed, reabsorption of proteins in proximal tubule triggers epithelial cells to release proinflammatory and prosclerotic mediators into the interstitium. New therapeutic approaches including gene transfer strategies are directed at suppressing the efficiency of such mediators.
