Figure 8 Mechanism diagram.
STZ and HG treatment induced high expression of X inactive specific transcript (XIST); silencing XIST promoted the targeted inhibition of miR-15b-5p on toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) by upregulating miR-15b-5p, thereby inhibiting TLR4, and ultimately alleviating the renal injury of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting NLRP3/Caspase-1-mediated RTEC pyroptosis. mRNA: messenger RNA; DN: Diabetic nephropathy; NLRP3: NLR family pyrin domain containing 3; ASC: Apoptosis speck-like protein; GSDMD: Gasdermin D.
