Unveiling FOS as a Potential Diagnostic Biomarker and Emetine as a Prospective Therapeutic Agent for Diabetic Nephropathy
To gain a comprehensive understanding of emetine's impact on high glucose-induced M1 macrophage polarization in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN), we employed transcriptome sequencing. Our study included two experimental groups: the high glucose-induced damage group and the high glucose-induced damage with emetine pretreatment group. Differential gene expression analysis, accompanied by functional enrichment analysis, was conducted to identify crucial pathways and biological processes involved. This investigation provides significant insights into the role of emetine in DN, enhancing our knowledge regarding its underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, this research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy and offers valuable prospects for the development of potential therapeutic targets and strategies for diabetic nephropathy. Overall design: The experimental design of this study involved two groups: a high glucose-induced damage group and a high glucose-induced damage with emetine pretreatment group.
