Role of kidney function on Nrf2 mRNA levels in type 2 diabetes by Carmine Zoccali, Belinda Spoto, Cristina Politi, Maurizio Postorino, Rosa Maria Parlongo, Alessandra Testa, Giovanni Luigi Tripepi, Francesca Mallamaci

“…Nrf2 mRNA levels directly correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with DKD (r=0.34, p=0.05) and in a formal mediation analysis the eGFR emerged as the first factor in rank for explaining the difference in Nrf2 mRNA levels between patients with and without DKD.Conclusions The observed dysregulation in the Nrf2-Keap1 axis and the unique expression pattern of miRNA30e-5p in DKD underscore the need for more focused research in this domain that can help identify novel intervention strategies for DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes.…”
