In conclusion, our study demonstrated that knockdown of LINC00462 can ameliorate oxidative stress and apoptosis in HG-induced RTEC by activating the AKT pathway, suggesting that knockdown of LINC00462 may provide a potential therapeutic approach for DN.
Notably, Akt inhibitor suppressed p-Akt protein expression and attenuated the effects of miR-214 upregulation on oxidative stress in the <i>in vitro</i> DN model.
Removal of HMGB1 inhibited DN serum-mediated podocyte apoptosis by inhibiting autophagy and activating AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling.
Taken together, our study proved that overexpression of miR-25 could ameliorate HG-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells through activation of PTEN/AKT pathway, suggesting that overexpression of miR-25 might provide a potential therapeutic approach for DN.
The Alcohol Extract of <i>Coreopsis tinctoria</i> Nutt Ameliorates Diabetes and Diabetic Nephropathy in db/db Mice through miR-192/miR-200b and PTEN/AKT and ZEB2/ECM Pathways.
These findings indicate that TP alleviates fibrosis by restoring autophagy through the miR-141-3p/PTEN/Akt/mTOR pathway and is a novel therapeutic option for DKD.
These results suggest that EGFR/AKT/ROS/ER stress signaling plays an essential role in DN development and inhibiting EGFR may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy in diabetic kidney diseases.
TUG1 is downregulated in DN.The overexpression of TUG1 could suppress the proliferation and ECM accumulation of mesangial cells via inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway.
We hypothesize that perturbed insulin-Akt cascade in DM leads to alterations in trafficking of megalin and cubilin, which results in urinary cubilin shedding as a prelude to MA in early diabetic nephropathy.
