Fig. 3From: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and kidney fibrosis in diabetesInteraction of DPP-4 and integrin β1 in the endothelial cells. Interaction between DPP-4 and integrin β1 displays key role in the TGF-β-induced signal transductions and VEGF-induced survival signaling in endothelial cells as well as in the subsequent induction of EndMT, which is associated with regulation of miR-29sBack to article page
