MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential for podocyte homeostasis, and the miR-30 family may
be responsible for this action. However, the exact roles and clinical relevance of miR-30s�…

MicroRNAs are endogenous, noncoding, small RNAs that regulate expression and function
of genes, but little is known about regulation of microRNA in the kidneys under normal or�…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression, and the dysregulation of
miRNAs is a common feature of several diseases. More miRNAs are identified almost daily�…

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by tubulointerstitial deposition of
extracellular matrix, tubular atrophy and dilatation; the replacement of organ architecture by�…

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common chronic microvascular
complications of diabetes. In addition to the characteristic clinical manifestations of�…

Myofibroblasts are modified fibroblasts characterized by the presence of a well-developed
contractile apparatus and the formation of robust actin stress fibers. These mechanically�…

The TGF-β/Smad3 pathway plays a major role in tissue fibrosis, but the precise mechanisms
are not fully understood. Here we identified microRNA miR-433 as an important component�…

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS‐dependent (redox regulation) signaling pathways
and transcriptional activities are thought to be critical in stem cell self‐renewal and�…

Aims: Altered activities of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the
regulation of microRNAs. microRNA-27a (miR-27a) upregulation has been shown to induce�…

The development of biological technologies in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics
has led to the identification and characterization of the complete set of coding genes and�…
