Yoodee et al use label-free quantitative proteomics (nanoLC-ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap MS/MS) to identify 23 significantly altered secreted proteins from calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM)-exposed macrophages secretome. They demonstrate that proteins secreted from macrophages exposed to COM crystals induce renal fibroblast activation and may play important roles in renal fibrogenesis in kidney stone disease.
