Calcium-Sensing Receptor Activation Disrupts Phosphatidylserine Asymmetry and Promotes Calcium Oxalate Crystal-Induced Epithelial Injury in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells.
BACKGROUND Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal retention on the renal tubular epithelium is a key step in urolithiasis. Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure may facilitate crystal-cell adhesion, but the upstream signaling mechanisms and the relative contributions of impaired inward PS flipping versus outward PS redistribution r...
