Activation of the thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1)-TGF-beta pathway by glucose and the relevance of TSP-1-dependent activation of TGF-beta for renal matrix expansion, renal fibrosis and sclerosis have previously been demonstrated by our group in in vivo and in vitro studies. Design and methods. We investigated renal biopsies (n = 40) and clinical data (n = 30) of patients with diabetic nephropathy. Ten kidneys without evidence of renal disease served as controls. Glomerular and cortical expression of TSP-1, p-smad2/3, fibrosis and glomerular sclerosis (PAS) were assessed by immunhistochemical staining and related with clinical data.

Correlation of enhanced thrombospondin-1 expression, TGF- signalling and proteinuria in human type-2 diabetic nephropathy
