Angpt2 Induces Mesangial Cell Apoptosis through the MicroRNA-33-5p-SOCS5 Loop in Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Mesangial cell (MC) loss is correlated with worsening renal function in DN. Disturbance of angiopoietin (Angpt)/Tie ligand-receptor system causes inflammation and abnormal angiogenesis. This association between elevated circu...
