19339632 Huang S, Zhang A, Ding G, Chen R: Aldosterone-induced mesangial cell proliferation is mediated by EGF receptor transactivation. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2009 Jun;296(6):F1323-33. Epub 2009 Apr 1.

Pretreatment with the antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine, catalase, SOD, mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I inhibitor rotenone (Rot), NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin, and DPI significantly inhibited Aldo-stimulated MC proliferation as well as EGFR transactivation.
This increase in proliferation was blocked by inhibition of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR).

The EMT was completely blocked by the selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist eplerenone.
Aldo-induced oxidative stress and EMT were both abolished by the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I inhibitor rotenone, but not the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin.
