The data derived from Nephroseq (www.Nephroseq.org, University of Michigan, O'Brien Renal Center) also corroborated with our observation that in DN, decreased expression of epithelial marker (E-CAD/CDH1) and increased expression of mesenchymal marker (N-cadherin/CDH2) and transcription factors that elicit EMT phenomenon such as SNAI1 and TWST1 (Figure 3C). Here, CDH2 is linked to liver dysplastic nodule.
