The downstream target genes of the Wnt canonical pathway are all involved in renal fibrosis, including fibronectin 1 (FN1), Cluster of differentiation 44 (Cd44), fibroblast specific protein-1 (FSP-1), and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) (Pishvaian and Byers, 2007). Here, MMP7 is linked to renal fibrosis.
