Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is a common microvascular complication with a high incidence in diabetic patients, greatly increases the mortality of patients. With further study on DN, it is found that epigenetics plays a crucial role in the pathophysiological process of DN. Epigenetics has an important impact on the development of DN through a variety of mechanisms, and promotes the generation and maintenance of metabolic memory, thus ultimately leading to a poor prognosis. In this review we discuss the methylation of DNA, modification of histone, and regulation of non-coding RNA involved in the progress of cell dysfunction, inflammation and fibrosis in the kidney, which ultimately lead to the deterioration of DN.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the single largest cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Inflammation reaction mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome and Nrf2-related oxidative stress have been considered to play a very important role in the progress of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Effective drugs for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy still need to be explored.

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of developing microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy (DN), and diabetic retinopathy (DR), leading to significant morbidity. Early detection of these complications is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) show promise as cost-effective and accessible biomarkers for the early detection of microvascular complications in T2DM.

Long noncoding RNAs may function as competitive endogenous RNAs by sponging microRNAs, thereby contributing to the progression of diabetic nephropathy. In this study, a potential diabetic nephropathy-related long noncoding-microRNA-mRNA axis, Gm4419-miR-455-3p-, was predicted using bioinformatics methods. To verify the role of the Gm4419-miR-455-3p- axis in diabetic nephropathy, an high glucose-induced mesangial cell model was established.

Diabetic nephropathy is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and one of the main causes of death in patients with diabetes mellitus. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered iron-dependent regulated cell death, which may contribute to the pathogenesis and development of diabetic nephropathy. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated ferroptosis-related signaling pathways can slow down the progression of diabetic nephropathy, but excessive activation of AMPK signaling pathway may induce cells to undergo autophagic death.
