Research Abstract |
A comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed by using mRNA extracted from human renal biopsy specimens after micro-disection, however signal sensitivity has still remained at the level of detection limit. In parallel, a bio-informatics analysis was conducted by using animal models of acute kidney injury. Comparison of the gene expression signatures of murine renal failure identified a shared transcriptome of 45 differentially regulated genes. 67% of these mRNAs were regulated in human renal disease and successfully segregated progressive DN from controls by clustering analysis.
