Abated microRNA-195 expression protected mesangial cells from apoptosis in early diabetic renal injury in mice.

Conclusions: These results demonstrated that the abated microRNA-195 expression protected mesangial cells from apoptosis, suggesting that the antiapoptosis in a microRNA-regulated manner may play an important role in the early stages of diabetic nephropathy.
