Several recent reporters have indicated the potential role of long noncoding RNA metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in diabetic nephropathy (DN).
To investigate whether the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 mediates the amelioration of diabetic nephropathy after duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery, rats were assigned randomly into four groups: diabetic (DM) group, DM with DJB surgery group, DM with sham surgery group, and healthy control group.
