Autocrine growth regulation of human glomerular mesangial cells is primarily mediated by basic fibroblast growth factor

For various forms of human glomerulonephritis a close relationship between inflammatory injury and a local mesangial proliferative response has been described. Herein, we used primary cultures of human glomerular mesangial cells (HMCs) from five different donors to determine the autocrine growth-ind...
