Progranulin (PGRN) expression is elevated in the kidney of an endotoxin-induced AKI mouse model.
PGRN deficiency exacerbates renal injury of mice after LPS infusion.
Recombinant PGRN pretreatment protects against endotoxin-induced AKI in wild-type (WT) and PGRN-deficient mice.
PGRN ameliorates renal cell death and inflammatory responses in LPS-infused mice.
