Long noncoding RNA Gm6135 functions as a competitive endogenous RNA to regulate toll-like receptor 4 expression by sponging miR-203-3p in diabetic nephropathy.
The target relationship between microRNA-203 and TLR4 3' UTR was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay RESULTS: The expression of miR-203 was significantly decreased in the kidney of mice with diabetic nephropathy and M4200 cells cultured in high glucose.
