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.
