Popis: Renal fibrosis is a pathological endpoint of maladaptation after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and despite many attempts, no good treatment has been achieved so far. At the core of renal fibrosis is the differentiation of various types of cells into myofibroblasts. MSCs were once thought to play a protective role after renal IRI. However, growing evidence suggests that MSCs have a two-sided nature. In spite of their protective role, in maladaptive situations, MSCs start to differentiate towards myofibroblasts, increasing the myofibroblast pool and promoting renal fibrosis. Following renal IRI, it has been observed that Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) and Renal Resident Mesenchymal Stem Cells (RR-MSCs) play important roles. This review presents evidence supporting their involvement, discusses their potential mechanisms of action, and suggests several new targets for future research.
