Herein, increased levels of heat shock protein family A member 5 (HSPA5), acting as a co-molecular in ERS and ferroptosis, along with EMT-associated alterations, including increased α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Col1a1 levels and decreased E-cad expression, were observed in fibrotic kidneys of Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction (UUO)-induced mouse models and TGF-β-induced EMT in HK-2 cells. Here, CDH1 is linked to Ureteral obstruction.
