Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the mechanism of its expression and activation induced by high glucose (HG) is still unclear. We mainly explored the role of ten-eleven translocation enzyme-2 (TET2) in regulating TGFβ1 expression in the process of DN. MAIN METHODS: Human mesangial cells (HMCs) and db/db mice were used to...
