“…They include IL-6, IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), GM-CSF, IFN-γ, G-CSF, CXCL10, CCL2, CCL3, PDGF, TNF-α, and VEGF ( 33 , 89 , 123 , 359 ). In particular, elevated IL-6 would cause renal endothelial cells to secrete pro-inflammatory chemokines like CCL14 and CCL2, leading to kidney vascular permeability ( 360 , 361 ). Moreover, IFNs could cause the loss of podocytes and stimulate glomerulosclerosis to promote AKI persistence ( 362 ).…”
