Noncoding RNAs and diabetic kidney disease.

In both human clinical and animal experimental studies, the altered expression of regulatory RNAs such as miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs are reported in diabetes and its complications by investigating various samples of serum, plasma, whole blood, and tissues. These identified ncRNAs are candidates for the disease diagnostic markers, prognostic markers, and also therapeutic targets. In the updates, the recently published ncRNAs involved in the onset and progression of DKD are discussed.
