miR-29c Inhibits Renal Interstitial Fibrotic Proliferative Properties through PI3K-AKT Pathway by Weifeng Feng, Huijun Xie, Jiong Li, Xianxin Yan, Shiping Zhu, Shengyun Sun

“…One of the sources for this matrix is the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) from the tabular epithelium. The driving force behind it is some profibrotic growth factors such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) which is responsible for the formation of collagen in renal fibrosis. miR-29c, which is an antifibrotic microRNA, downregulates renal interstitial fibrosis by downregulating the TGF-β and collagen. …”
