Abstract:
The present invention provides a test method which enables specific diagnosis of early-stage pathology of diabetic nephropathy. There is provided a method of detecting onset or a risk of onset of diabetic nephropathy, comprising measuring IgG4 in a biological sample derived from a subject. This method may further comprise measuring Smad1 in the biological sample derived from the subject. Preferably, both IgG4 and Smad1 are measured.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a drug capable of preventing or treating diabetic nephropathy.The present invention relates to a prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug for diabetic nephropathy, comprising a RARγ agonist as an active ingredient. The present invention also provides a prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug for renal anemia; a drug inhibiting the expression of type IV collagen in mesangial cells; a drug inhibiting the expression of BMP4 in mesangial cells; and a drug inhibiting fibrosis in the renal tubulointerstitium.

Abstract:
A method of detecting proliferative diseases causing sclerosis, comprising measuring the expression of at least one substance selected from the group consisting of STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3, Smad1, phosphorylated Smad1, activin receptor-like kinase 1, activin receptor-like kinase 3 and bone morphogenetic proteins in a biological sample. A kit therefor. A prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for proliferative diseases causing sclerosis, comprising as an active ingredient a substance having an inhibitory effect on the expression of at least one substance selected from the group consisting of STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3, Smad1 and phosphorylated Smad1. A method of identifying substances effective in preventing and/or treating proliferative diseases causing sclerosis, comprising judging whether or not a test substance inhibits the expression of at least one substance selected from the group consisting of STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3, Smad1 and phosphorylated Smad1. A kit therefor.
