For instance, WNT family member 1 (WNT1)-induced signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP-1), Myc, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP), and protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) can accelerate the development of renal fibrosis by increasing autophagic flux in the UUO-induced mouse model and TGF-β-stimulated tubular epithelial cells [80,81,82,83]. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and renal fibrosis.
