Article Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the predominant secondary nephropathy resulting in global end-stage renal disease. It is attracting significant attention in both domestic and international research due to its widespread occurrence, fast advancement, and limited choices for prevention and treatment. The pathophysiology of this condition is intricate and involves multiple molecular and cellular pathways at various levels. This article provides a concise overview of the molecular processes involved in the development of DN. It discusses various factors, such as signaling pathways, cytokines, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, cellular damage, autophagy, and epigenetics. The aim is to offer clinicians a valuable reference for DN's diagnosis, treatment, and intervention.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of diabetes, imposing substantial socioeconomic and public health challenges. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, a prevalent epigenetic mechanism, influences cellular processes and disease progression. Wilms' tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP), an m6A methyltransferase subunit, was investigated for its role in DN.
