The present invention provides a method for screening or identifying therapeutic or prophylactic agents for renal diseases, which comprises assaying a test substance for the activity of up-regulating the expression of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP), and novel mouse proximal renal tubular epithelial cell lines useful therein. The present invention also provides therapeutic or prophylactic agents for renal diseases comprising, as an active ingredient, an agent having activity of up-regulating FABP expression; agents for up-regulating the expression of FABP, and for treating or preventing renal diseases, which comprise a compound having activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist or carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) inhibitor or the like.
本发明提供了一种筛选或鉴定治疗或预防肾脏疾病药物的方法,该方法包括检测试验物质上调脂肪酸结合蛋白(FABP)表达的活性,以及对其有用的新型小鼠近端肾小管上皮细胞系。本发明还提供了治疗或预防肾脏疾病的制剂,其活性成分包括具有上调脂肪酸结合蛋白表达活性的制剂;上调脂肪酸结合蛋白表达和治疗或预防肾脏疾病的制剂,其活性成分包括具有过氧化物酶体增殖激活受体(PPAR)激动剂或肉碱棕榈酰基转移酶(CPT)抑制剂或类似物活性的化合物。
