Bufalin‐Induced Epithelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition in Kidney Epithelial Cells

open access: yesCell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 1764-1786, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The kidney plays a central role in fluid, electrolyte, and blood pressure regulation, processes tightly coupled to Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase activity. Beyond its canonical transport function, Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase also acts as a signaling receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTSs) such as bufalin, which have been implicated in fibrosis and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal
