Considering the present study, it was thought that Pg-LPS induced diabetic renal inflammation such as glomerulosclerosis and tubulitis with infiltration of Mac-1/podoplanin positive macrophages via glomerular overexpression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin, resulting in accumulation of both ACE2 and FGF23 which were unmetabolized with the inflammation-induced kidney damage under the diabetic condition (Fig. 7). Here, ITGB2 is linked to glomerulosclerosis.
