The mRNA Profiles of podocytes exposed to high glucose and AGEs

Podocyte dysfunction is considered as the main contributor to the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease(DKD).High glucose(HG)or advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can lead to podocyte dysfunction.To explore the the molecular mechanism of podocyte dysfunction, we screened the mRNA expression profiles of podocytes treated with HG(50mmol/L)and AGEs(400µg/mL) through transcriptomics. To investigate the differentially expressed genes in podocytes among control group, high glucose group, and AGEs group
