Progressive glomerulosclerosis in type 2 diabetes is associated with renal histone H3K9 and H3K23 acetylation, H3K4 dimethylation and phosphorylation at serine 10

Abstract

Distinct histone modifications regulate gene expression in certain diseases but little is known about histone epigenetics in diabetic nephropathy. The current study examined the role of histone epigenetics in development and progression of nephropathy in db/db mice.
