medicine | in a mouse model of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy, isoform Sk1 and connective tisuue grwoth factor CTGF are upregulated in podocytes. In Sk1 deficient mice, exacerbation of diesease is detected by increased albuminuria and CTGF expression when compared to wild-type | Mus musculus |
medicine | isoform Sk1 expression is increased in the podocytes of kidney sections of patients with diabetic nephropathy | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | depletion of isoform Sk1 by siRNA or inhibitors leads to accelerated connective tissue growth factor CTGF induction, mediated by sphingosine 1-phosphate | Homo sapiens |
