β2-microglobulin induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells in vitro

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of β2-microglobulin (β2-M) on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in renal tubular epithelial cells. METHODS: A human kidney proximal tubular cell line (HK-2) was used as the proximal tubular cell model. HK-2 cells were...
