Mesenchymal stem cells enhance CCL8 expression by podocytes in lupus-prone MRL.Fas lpr mice

Abstract Nephritis is common in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and is associated with hyper-activation of immune and renal cells. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ameliorate nephritis by inhibiting T and B cells, whether MSCs directly affect renal cells is unclear. To address this issue...
