MicroRNA-195 Promotes Apoptosis in Mouse Podocytes via Enhanced Caspase Activity Driven by BCL2 Insufficiency
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The apoptosis of podocytes is a characteristic event in diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether microRNAs (miRNAs) affect podocyte apoptosis in diabetic circumstances. METHODS: Diabetic nephropathy was induced in DBA/2 mice by intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin, and the levels of proteinuria were measured with ELISA. Apoptosis-related miRNAs were screened in...
