Mus musculus | investigated the effect of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic inflammation on kidney function and inflammation in a murine model. Psoriatic inflammation in mice is associated with kidney dysfunction as reflected by increased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Kidney dysfunction is paralleled by upregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating enzymes such as NOX2, NOX4 and iNOS | up |
General Information | Comment | Organism |

physiological function | NADPH oxidases (NOX2/NOX4) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) derived oxidative stress play a key role in psoriasis induced kidney dysfunction. NADPH oxidase (NOX2 and NOX4) isoforms, and inducible nitric oxidase synthase (iNOS) are elevated in the renal tissue under inflammatory conditions such as acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. These enzymes are capable of producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in large quantities under inflammatory conditions, which may cause oxidative damage to biological macromolecules such as lipids, proteins and nucleic acids leading to malfunction of cellular structures through dysregulation of ion pumps, and enzymatic activity | Mus musculus |
