Research Article: Microarray Expression Profile of Exosomal circRNAs from High Glucose Stimulated Human Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Introduction:
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most frequent microvascular complication leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Over the years, the incidence of DKD has increased rapidly, resulting in a global economic and medical burden. Renal interstitial fibrosis, a predominant pathological feature of DKD, is characterized by epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT), accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), and an inflammatory response. – Increasing evidence indicates that interstitial lesions may be…
