The double edge of anti-CD40 siRNA therapy: It increases renal microcapillar density but favours the generation of an inflammatory milieu in the kidneys of ApoE −/− mice

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with endothelial dysfunctions thus prompting links between microcirculation (MC), inflammation and major cardiovascular risk factors. Purpose of the study We have previously reported that siRNA-silencing of CD40 (siCD40) reduced atherosc...
