From: The ILEI/LIFR complex induces EMT via the Akt and ERK pathways in renal interstitial fibrosis
LIFR mediates ILEI-induced EMT in vitro. A–C LIFR knockdown efficiency in HK2 cells examined by WB and real-time PCR, *p < 0.05. D Morphological changes after ILEI overexpression and LIFR knockdown in HK2 cells. E–G The expression level of E‐cadherin, α‐SMA, and vimentin examined by WB and real-time PCR after LIFR silence in ILEI overexpressed HK2 cells, *p < 0.05, #p < 0.05. H Transwell assay to evaluate motility changes in HK2 cells, *p < 0.05, #p < 0.05
