TNC and lobular neoplasia: To establish whether the pristane-SNF1 kidney fibrotic lesions are reminiscent of the human disease, we confirmed that the expression of the fibrosis genes observed in the pristane-SNF1 model were also upregulated in a human LN microarray dataset and that the immunostaining of tenascin C and alpha smooth muscle actin proteins showed similar localization in renal biopsies from LN patients.
