We previously reported that fractalkine was upregulated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic kidneys. Fractalkine in diabetic kidneys was detected on glomerular capillaries and the mesangium. This upregulation was suppressed by treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) or aminoiguanidine. We examined what factors induce fractalkine upregulation in normal rat glomeruli.
