Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Renal fibrosis in diabetic mouse model was ameliorated by inhibition of endothelial-mesenchymal conversion via the anti-fibrotic microRNA29 and let-7 induction with an endogenous anti-fibrotic peptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (AcSDKP) administration. In addition, although renal fibrosis has been caused by the enhancement of the DPP-4 expression by reduced microRNA29 expression in diabetic state, it has improved by microRNA29 expression with a DPP-4 inhibitor, linagliptin administration.
