Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn renal injury models, particularly in unilateral ureteral obstruction, the tubular basement membrane protein TINag plays a key role in maintaining tubular integrity. Oxidative stress leads to a reduction in TINag levels through impaired C/EBP‐beta activity, which in turn facilitates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and contributes to fibrosis. Notably, experimental data indicate that when epithelial cells are grown on a TINag substratum, they retain their differentiated phenotype and display reduced fibronectin synthesis, suggesting that TINag helps preserve normal epithelial architecture during injury."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "In the context of hepatocellular carcinoma, emerging evidence suggests that TINag may also be relevant to tumor biology. Although its established function has been primarily in renal pathology, recent studies involving HCC patient samples aim to uncover the clinical and prognostic impact of TINag expression in liver cancer, underscoring its potential role as a biomarker or pathogenic mediator in malignancy."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Ping Xie, Lin Sun, Baibasawata Nayak, et al.
