Abstract

Recent studies indicate that immune activation may play a role in pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). We have previously described a mouse model exhibiting characteristics of human DN including high-grade albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis. In this model, glomerular immune and inflammatory pathways, including networks associated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α signaling are upregulated. In this study, we examine the functional impact of the TNF-α pathway in DN.
