Another interesting case involved in EMT of TECs was that lncRNA OIP5-AS1 could directly target miR-30c-5p and regulate the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin to participate in EMT and renal fibrosis in DN mice and HG-cultured HK-2 cells (Fu et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene CDH1 and renal fibrosis.
