Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play critical role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, effects and mechanism plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) remain poorly understood. The expression PVT1, miR-23b-3p, early growth response factor (EGR1), Fibronectin (FN), Collagen IV (Col IV), alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), E-cadherin, vimentin, transform...
