Rituximab regulates the expression of the Raf kinase inhibitor protein via NF-κB in renal tissue of rats with diabetic nephropathy

L. Li, Zhao, Y. W., Zeng, J. S., Fan, F., Wang, X., Zhou, Y., and Zhu, Z., Rituximab regulates the expression of the Raf kinase inhibitor protein via NF-κB in renal tissue of rats with diabetic nephropathy, vol. 12, pp. 2973-2981, 2013.

This study aimed to investigate the expression levels of the Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) and NF-κB in renal tissues of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats, and to determine the underlying molecular targets of rituximab (RTX), with the goal of developing new clinical treatment selection for DN. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group (N), a DN group (M), and an RTX treatment group (D). Blood glucose and 24-h urine protein levels of rats were determined.
