Scheme depicting the mechanism of Nampt-related type-IV collagen deposition in DN. In DN, a decrease in Nampt suppresses Sirt6 levels. Augmented acetylation of H3K9 mediated by downregulated Sirt6 escalates TIMP-1 expression because RelA attaches to the RelA-binding site in the promoter of TIMP-1. Elevation of TIMP-1 induces type-IV collagen production
