Deskripsi

Kato, Abdollahi et al. identify a redox protein thioredoxin and mitochondrial fission-1 (FIS1) protein as miR-379 targets in mouse kidney. They find that miR-379 knockout mice are protected from diabetic kidney disease by enhancing mitophagy via FIS1, suggesting miR-379 as a potential therapeutic target for diabetic kidney disease.
