Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells (HRPTEpC) provide a useful tool for studying various aspects of pathology and biology of the human renal proximal tubular cells in vitro. HRPTEpC have recently been used in a study of metabolic enzymes responding to energy depletion in renal cells. HRPTEpCs have a pivotal role in kidney function including reabsorbtion of glucose and protein, and also play a part in the glucotoxicity associated with diabetes.

Background Recent studies have highlighted a critical role for a group of natriuretic hormones, cardiotonic steroid (CTS), in mediating renal inflammation and fibrosis associated with volume expanded settings, such as chronic kidney disease. Immune cell adhesion is a critical step

Current immunosuppressive strategies in organ transplantation rely on calcineurin inhibitors cyclosporine A (CsA) or tacrolimus (Tac). Both drugs are nephrotoxic, but CsA has been associated with greater renal damage than Tac. CsA inhibits calcineurin by forming complexes with cyclophilins, whose
