TGFB1 and renal fibrosis: High expression of H19 could downregulate the expression of fibronectin and destroy the integrity of renal vessels [8], and lncRNA MALAT1 promoted transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), induced endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), and accelerated renal fibrosis [9, 10].
