Akt2 Mediates TGF-β1-Induced Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition by Deactivating GSK3β/Snail Signaling Pathway in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Akt2 Mediates TGF-β1-Induced Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition by Deactivating GSK3β/Snail Signaling Pathway in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Background: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by growth factors or cytokines, particularly transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1), plays an important role in kidney tubulointerstitial injury. However, signaling pathways mediating TGF-β1-induced EMT are not precisely known. In this s...
