Involvement of Elf3 on Smad3 activation-dependent injuries in podocytes and excretion of urinary exosome in diabetic nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is among the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus, and often leads to end-stage renal disease ultimately requiring dialysis or renal transplantation. The loss of podocytes has been reported to have a role in the onset and progression of DN. Here, we addressed the...

Zusammenfassung:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is among the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus, and often leads to end-stage renal disease ultimately requiring dialysis or renal transplantation. The loss of podocytes has been reported to have a role in the onset and progression of DN. Here, we addressed the activation mechanism of Smad3 signaling in podocytes. Expression of RII and activation of Smad3 were induced by AGE exposure (P
