Glomerular and tubulointerstitial miR‐638, miR‐198 and miR‐146a expression in lupus nephritis

Aim:  MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. We studied the intra‐renal expression of miRNA targets that were reported to be differentially expressed in peripheral blood or urine between lupus nephritis (LN) patients and normal controls.
