Doxorubicin-Induced Nephropathy Model

With extensive expertise in urology disease model establishment, Creative Bioarray offers a doxorubicin-induced nephropathy model to clients worldwide. This model is designed to facilitate the evaluation of potential novel therapeutics and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of nephropathy. By utilizing doxorubicin to induce nephropathy, researchers can closely mimic the human condition, providing valuable insights into disease pathophysiology and enabling the development of more effective treatments.

Doxorubicin (DOX), also known as Adriamycin, is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug. However, its clinical utility is limited due to its harmful effects on various organs, particularly the kidneys. Adriamycin nephropathy, a rodent model of chronic kidney disease (CKD), closely mirrors human primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). This model is characterized by podocyte injury, followed by glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial inflammation, and fibrosis. These features make it an attractive system for in vivo drug screening, allowing researchers to study the mechanisms of kidney damage and evaluate the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents in a setting that closely resembles human disease.
