Defective fatty acid oxidation in renal tubular epithelial cells has a key role in kidney fibrosis development
Renal fibrosis is the histological manifestation of a progressive, usually irreversible process
causing chronic and end-stage kidney disease. We performed genome-wide transcriptome …

Alteration of fatty acid oxidation in tubular epithelial cells: from acute kidney injury to renal fibrogenesis
N Simon, A Hertig - Frontiers in medicine, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Renal proximal tubular cells are the most energy-demanding cells in the body. The ATP that
they use is mostly produced in their mitochondrial and peroxisomal compartments, by the …

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induces cell cycle arrest and parenchymal damage in renal fibrosis
Kidney fibrosis is marked by an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tubular
epithelial cells (TECs). Here we find that, during renal fibrosis, TECs acquire a partial EMT …

Single-cell analysis highlights differences in druggable pathways underlying adaptive or fibrotic kidney regeneration
The kidney has tremendous capacity to repair after acute injury, however, pathways guiding
adaptive and fibrotic repair are poorly understood. We developed a model of adaptive and …
