Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition with erlotinib ameliorates anti-Thy 1.1-induced experimental glomerulonephritis.

CONCLUSION: These results indicate that erlotinib prevents the early events of experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. Therefore, inhibition of the EGF receptor with erlotinib could prevent the progression of glomerulonephritis also in clinical nephrology.
