  • Publication number: 20210198667
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a molecule having a significant effect on the development of fibrosis and a substance capable of inhibiting fibrosis. This biomarker for fibrosis comprises RNA binding motif protein 7 (RBM7) and is useful as a biomarker for diagnosis of fibrosis. This fibrosis detection method comprising the step of detecting RBM7 in a biological sample from a subject preferably using an anti-RBM7 antibody is useful for diagnosis of fibrosis. This antifibrotic agent containing a substance which inhibits the expression of RBM7, preferably at least one nucleic acid drug selected from the group consisting of siRNAs, shRNAs, dsRNAs, miRNAs, and antisense nucleic acids against RBM7, is useful for treatment of fibrosis.
