CXCR4 inhibition suppresses Cd-induced renal oxidative stress, apoptosis, and fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad pathway

This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in cadmium (Cd)-induced renal injury. CXCR4 and TGF-β1/Smad pathway protein levels were detected by western blotting. Indicators related to renal function and oxidative stress factors were assessed and reactiv...
