1 We found that curcumin inhibited the EMT as assessed by reduced expression of alpha-SMA and PAI-1, and increased E-cadherin in TGF-beta1 treated proximal tubular epithelial cell HK-2 cells. Curcumin transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 On the other hand, in non-Smad pathway curcumin reduced TGF-beta1-induced ERK phosphorylation and PPARgamma phosphorylation, and promoted nuclear translocation of PPARgamma. Curcumin transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 We conclude that curcumin counteracted TGF-beta1-induced EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells via ERK-dependent and then PPARgamma-dependent pathway. Curcumin transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
