Abstract

During peritoneal dialysis (PD), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is likely involved in aberrant healing and progressive peritoneal fibrosis. Recently, EMT of the kidney was actively reversed into the opposite direction, into mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), by treatment with bone morphogenic protein-7 (BMP-7). In this study, the potential for ex vivo interconversion of in vivo transdifferentiation processes was investigated in mesothelial cells.
