Diabetic nephropathy (DN), as one of the chronic complications of diabetes, is themajor cause of end-stage renal disease.However,\nthe pathogenesis of this disease is not fully understood. In recent years, research on microRNAs (miRNAs) has become a hotspot\nbecause of their critical role in regulating posttranscriptional levels of protein-coding genes that may serve as key pathogenic factors\nin diseases. Several miRNAs were found to participate in the pathogenesis of DN, while others showed renal protective effects.\nTherefore, targeting miRNAs that are involved in DN may have a good prospect in the treatment of the disease. The aim of this\nreview is to summarize DN-related miRNAs and provide potential targets for diagnostic strategies and therapeutic intervention.
