Tubular nuclear accumulation of Snail and epithelial phenotypic changes in human myeloma cast nephropathy.

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor Snail is an important repressor of E-cadherin gene expression. It plays a key role in the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, an essential process important not only in embryonic development and tumor progression but also in organ fibrogenesis. We studied the expression of Snail by immunohistochemistry, along with several epithelial phenotypic changes suggestive of...
