We found that murine FHR-1 homolog (FHR-E) deficiency enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AP activation both in vitro and in vivo and that Cfhr1 knockout mice exhibited more severe sepsis and AKI in response to LPS challenge. These results indicated that FHR-E deficiency promoted LPS-induced sepsis and AKI through AP over-activation, providing a mouse model for studying AP regulation and sepsis. In this study, Cfhr1 was deleted on C57BL/6 mouse to study the function of FHR-E on AP and the effect of FHR-E deficiency on LPS-induced sepsis. ./cache/cord-255578-0ltb9dpa.txt ./txt/cord-255578-0ltb9dpa.txt
