Upregulation of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor and osteopontin in experimental hydronephrosis

SUMMARY This study examined the expression of heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) and osteopontin in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in the rat, a model of obstructive uropathy. HB‐EGF mRNA was upregulated 5.5‐fold at 4 h post‐obstruction (P < 0.05) and 4.5‐f...
