In addition, it has been observed that miR-150-5p could be a suppressor of angiopoietin 2 generation, playing key roles in the resolution of vascular injury and reduction in mortality resulting from sepsis [9], as well as its overexpression in mice with lupus nephritis and its prognostic role in patients with IgA nephropathy [14]. This evidence concerns the gene ANGPT2 and lupus nephritis.
