These findings provide an innovative understanding of the molecular mechanism of the protective effect of WCCs on ADM-induced mpc5 cell injury at the molecular transcription level, and Mthfd2, Dhfr, Atf4, Creb5, Apln, and Serpine1, etc., may be potential novel targets for treating nephrotic syndrome. The gene discussed is SERPINE1; the disease is nephrotic syndrome.
