Long Non-Coding RNA (LncRNA) CASC15 Is Upregulated in Diabetes-Induced Chronic Renal Failure and Regulates Podocyte Apoptosis.

CONCLUSIONS Therefore, CASC15 is upregulated in DCRF patients and promotes the apoptosis of podocytes by sponging miR-34c. Our study adds to our understanding of the pathogenesis of DCRF and suggests that CASC15 could serve as a potential therapeutic target of DCRF. PMID: 32053576 [PubMed - in process]
