The Role of Cathepsin B in Peritoneal Fibrosis due to Peritoneal Dialysis
Glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution causes peritoneal fibrosis (PF) characterized by accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the submesothelial layer. Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine protease that degrades ECM, but its role in the PF remains unclear. Thus, we investigated...
