PPARγ Mediates the Anti-Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Effects of FGF1ΔHBS in Chronic Kidney Diseases via Inhibition of TGF-β1/SMAD3 Signaling

Podocytes are essential components of the glomerular basement membrane. Epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) in podocytes results in proteinuria. Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) protects renal function against diabetic nephropathy (DN). In the present study, we showed that treatment with an FGF...
