More importantly, the kidney-target of circRNA_010383 overexpression inhibited proteinuria and renal fibrosis in db/db mice. Mechanistically, we identified that a loss of circRNA_010383 promoted proteinuria and renal fibrosis in DN by acting as a sponge for miRNA-135a. This study reveals that circRNA_010383 may be a novel therapeutic target for DN in the future.
