Abstract

Background:Oxidative stress is critical for the fibrotic response of mesangial cells (MCs) to angiotensin II. Results:Nox4- and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling led to fibronectin accumulation in MCs stimulated by angiotensin II. Conclusion:The Nox4/mitochondrial ROS/eNOS pathway mediates angiotensin II-induced MC injury. Significance:Targeting Nox4 and mitochondrial ROS is a promising therapeutic approach.
