Effects of tranilast on the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in peritoneal mesothelial cells

Background : We investigated the effects of tranilast on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in an animal model and on the EMT signaling pathway in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs).Methods : We performed in vitro studies (cytotoxicity, cell morphology, and western blot analyses) on...
