Increased levels of endogenous retroviruses trigger fibroinflammation and play a role in kidney disease development

The contribution of transposable elements and endogenous retroviruses to renal fibroinflammation is currently unknown. Here, the authors comprehensively profile the expression of transposable elements and endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in kidneys of patients and mouse disease models and find expression of ERVs in diseased kidneys activate cytosolic nucleotide sensors contributing to cytokine release and renal fibroinflammation.
