In the platelet RNA‐Seq data of DKD vs. CKD, we found that, in the JAK‐STAT signaling pathway, the expression of IL‐2RA, IL‐20RA, IL‐15RA and IL‐5RA was significantly increased, whereas the expression of ILF was significantly decreased in DKD group compared to the CKD group (Fig. 6). This evidence concerns the gene IL5RA and diabetic kidney disease.
