Baseline podocyte‐associated state and persistent cell–matrix transcriptional programs are associated with BALB/c substrain differences in adriamycin nephropathy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Two closely related BALB/c substrains exhibit different early responses to adriamycin (ADR)‐induced nephropathy. BALB/cByJcl mice showed lower baseline WT1‐positive nuclei counts and NPHS1 immunoreactivity than BALB/cAJcl mice, together with extracellular matrix and integrin programs that were enriched at baseline and persisted at Day 5.
