Abstract:
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), as one of the common chronic microvascular complications of diabetes, has become the main cause of renal failure in end-stage renal disease in China, increasing the risks of renal dialysis and kidney transplantation in diabetes patients. It is the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. The latest research on DN has focused on the gene level. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous accessible short-chain non-coding RNA molecules. By acting on a particular target, they activate or inhibit its mediated signaling pathways and related molecules, playing an important role in the occurrence and development of DN. They have become microeconomic factors for the prevention and treatment of DN. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history in the diagnosis and treatment of DN and has unique advantages such as significant curative effect and few side effects. A large number of studies have proved that TCM can target miRNA to affect multiple signaling pathways, participate in the regulation of inflammatory response, pyroptosis, mesenchymal transdifferentiation, and other pathological changes, and delay the further development of DN. Therefore, this study discusses the biogenesis mechanism of miRNA and its action mechanism in disease-related signaling pathways based on TCM diagnosis and treatment approaches from the perspective of miRNA, and summarizes the effect of TCM targeting miRNA on the disease-related signaling pathways and on DN. Thus, this study is expected to provide a theoretical reference for exploring the progress of TCM intervention in DN from the perspective of genes.
