description Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathological characteristic associated with end-stage renal disease. However, treatment strategies for RIF are still very limited. In this study, we reported that kaempferol, a classic flavonoid, exhibited strong and widely inhibitory effect on the expression of fibrosis related genes in transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) treated NRK-52E cells. Further studies revealed that kaempferol inhibited TGF-β1 induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of NRK-52E cells and improved renal function deterioration and RIF in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) rats. After exploring the underlying mechanisms, we found that kaempferol was able to activate the BMP-7-Smad1/5 pathway, rather than the TGF-β1-Smad2/3 pathway. To further validate these results, DMH1 and BMP-7 knockdown were utilized at the cellular level and the results showed that both methods were able to antagonize the effects of kaempferol on the EMT process of NRK-52E cells induced by TGF-β1. In UUO rats, inhibition of BMP-7 signaling by DMH1 also reversed the effects of kaempferol on renal function decline and RIF. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that kaempferol could be a good candidate for renal fibrosis treatment.
