Figure 9

Diagram of the working model illustrating the mechanism of FOSL2 in renal fibrosis. FOSL2 was upregulated with the stimulation of UUO and TGF-β1 and facilitated SGK1 expression at the transcriptional level, leading to increased EMT and ECM deposition, which contributes to renal fibrosis. UUO: unilateral ureteral obstruction; TGF-β1: transforming growth factor-β1; EMT: epithelial–mesenchymal transition; ECM: extracellular matrix; SGK1: serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1; α-SMA: α-smooth muscle actin.
