Kidney disease, TGF-β, and other injury factors result in combined actions of S100A16, Myh9, and Ca2+ in injured epithelial cells. The EMT and cytoskeleton reorganization lead to the transition of renal epithelial cells into myofibroblasts, followed by accumulation of extracellular matrix and aggravation of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.
