Project description:Diabetic nephropathy(DN) is a common diabetic microvascular complication, the underlying mechanisms involved in DN remain to be elucidated. We used microarrays to explore the global profile of gene expression for better understanding the molecular mechanism of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic db/db mice.
Project description:Diabetic nephropathy(DN) is a common diabetic microvascular complication, Irbesartan is the first-line drug for clinical treatment of diabetic nephropathy, but its pharmacological mechanism and target are not yet fully clear. We used microarrays to explore the global profile of gene expression for better understanding the action mechanism of irbesartan in alleviating renal injuries of diabetic db/db mice
Project description:To investigate dynamic changes in glomerular cells, including podocyte, mesangial cells and glomerular endothelial cells, in the development of diabetic nephropathy We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of glomerular cells of control(m/m), diabetic (db-/- 6-week-old) and diabetic nephropathy (db-/- 10-week-old with albuminuria) mice
Project description:Diabetic nephropathy is a chronic complication of diabetes, presenting albuminuria at an early stage and leading to renal failure. Kidney is a complicated organ, which is responsible for body fluids control, acid-base balance, and removal of toxins. To better understand the progress of diabetic nephropathy, mice renal cortex of control mice, six-week db-/- (increased serum glucose without pathological changes in kidneys), and ten-week db-/- (with pathological changes in kidneys) were collected for single-cell sequencing analyses. A subgroup of glomerular endothelial cells with pro-angiogenetic features was identified in diabetic kidneys.
Project description:We investigated the gene expression profiles of RNA isolated from kidney glomeruli from aged, 25 week old type-2 diabetic (db/db) and non-diabetic mice. In order to investigate the consequences of hyperglycemia on the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic nephropathy Kidney glomeruli from 3 diabetic and 3 non-diabetic, control mice were isolated and RNA purified for RNA-Seq analysis on the Illumina HiSeq 2000. The goal of the project was to generate comprehensive list of noncoding RNA genes differentially regulated between the two conditions in order to identify novel targets for further study.
Project description:To investigate the mechanism of the renal protective effects of SGLT2i in diabetic nephropathy, we treated 9-week db/db mice with dapagliflozin and solvent, respectively. This study used m/m mice as control group.We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3 different groups of mice after 13-week treatment.
Project description:To explore the unique pathogenesis of DCM and analyzed the differences in gene expression, associated pathways and immune cell infiltration among different organs that are targeted by high glucose by bioinformatics-based strategy. In order to find the specific factors that trigger DCM, we contrasted the gene profile of DCM to that of other diabetic diseases including diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and nephropathy (DN). we performed RNA-seq and miRNA sequencing on heart tissue from db/db mice to explore the transcriptome alterations in DCM pathogenesis including lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA.
