A METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A RENAL FIBROSIS PROCESS, USE OF SNAIL-ACTIVITY-INHIBITING COMPOUNDS IN THE PRODUCTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS, METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING SAID INHIBITING COMPOUNDS, SAID PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

Snail is a protein directly involved in the etiopathogeny of renal fibrosis as well as being a marker for this disease. Therefore, its identification may be used as a renal-fibrosis diagnosis. Also, furthermore, the Snail protein may be of great use in the identification of new drugs for the treatment of renal fibrosis, and its gene inhibition as a form of treatment.
