Abstract excerpt
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) is a well-distinguished mediator of progressive renal fibrosis in DN. However, the molecular mechanisms contributing to enhanced TGFβ1 expression in the progression of DN are not fully understood. Herein, we reported that c-Jun and specificity protein 1 (SP1) were critical upstream regulators of TGFβ1...
