Protein phosphatase magnesium-dependent-1A (PPM1A) dephosphorylates SMAD2/3, which suppresses TGF-β signaling in keratinocytes and during Xenopus development; however, potential involvement of PPM1A in chronic kidney disease is unknown. PPM1A expression was dramatically decreased in the
Endemic Balkan nephropathy (EBN) is a chronic interstitial nephritis which may occur at any age and may affect several members of the same family. The condition is slowly progressive and can more easily be diagnosed in its advanced than in its early stages. Early symptoms include severe anaemia and
BACKGROUND

METHODS
The study included 19 BEN
PPM1A and PTEN emerged as novel suppressors of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Since loss of PPM1A and PTEN in the tubulointerstitium promotes fibrogenesis, defining molecular events underlying PPM1A/PTEN deregulation is necessary to develop expression rescue as novel therapeutic strategies. Here we
