Early growth response protein-1 upregulates long noncoding RNA Arid2-IR to promote extracellular matrix production in diabetic kidney disease
21 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has surpassed chronic glomerulonephritis as the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Previously, we showed that early growth response protein-1 (Egr1) plays a key role in DKD by enhancing mesangial cell proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production. The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) AT-rich interactive domain 2-IR (Arid2-IR) has been identified as a mothers against...
