However, the expression of miR-200b/c are elevated in glomeruli from type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) mice model and in MCs treated with TGF-β1 (Kato et al., 2011b), implying that difference on the miR-200 expression may due to cell type specificity and individual variability. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
