Reduced Autophagy by a microRNA-mediated Signaling Cascade in Diabetes-induced Renal Glomerular Hypertrophy

Abstract Autophagy plays a key role in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, however its role in diabetic nephropathy (DN), and particularly in kidney glomerular mesangial cells (MCs) is not very clear. Transforming Growth Factor- β1 (TGF-β), a key player in the pathogenesis of DN, regulates expressi...
