SOX4’s Role in Kidney Fibrosis: TEC Dedifferentiation & Fibroblast Activation

Graphical Abstract Sample Work

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a widely prevalent health issue globally. A striking pathological feature of CKD is kidney fibrosis characterized by excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). Tubular epithelial cell (TEC) dedifferentiation and fibroblast activation contribute to the pathogenesis of kidney fibrosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TEC dedifferentiation and fibroblast activation are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of SRY-box transcription factor 4 (SOX4) in regulating TEC dedifferentiation and fibroblast activation during the development of CKD.
