Animal Model:
C57BL/6J mice with 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx)
Dosage:
10 mg/kg
Administration:
IP; three times per week for twelve weeks
Result:
Attenuated renal fibrosis in 5/6 Nx mice and reduced protein expressions of fibronectin, collagen III in remnant kidneys.

MnTBAP chloride (pretreated 1.14 μM before TGF-β1 of 10 ng/mL) partially but significantly restores E-cadherin reduction and suppresses the induction of α-SMA and vimentin in immortalized mouse proximal tubular cells (mPTCs).
MnTBAP chloride (50 μM; 6 hours) increases BMPR-II mRNA by 1.3-fold at 2 h, but does not affect protein expression of BMPR-II during a time course of 16 h in HUVECs. MnTBAP chloride increases phosphorylation of Smad 1/5, suggesting modulation of the BMP signaling pathway.
