Human CD133Renal Progenitor Cells Induce Erythropoietin Production and Limit Fibrosis After Acute Tubular Injury.
Model: Glycerol-induced rhabdomyolysis acute kidney injury, 50 percent hypertonic glycerol injected intramuscularly, half dose into each hind leg
A single intravenous dose of human CD133+ renal progenitor cells one day after glycerol-induced AKI limited fibrosis to day 60, restored peritubular capillaries, reduced anaemia and raised renal and circulating erythropoietin, while dermal fibroblasts and PBS had no effect.
