MRTF transcriptional target genes are upregulated in DN patients with type 2 diabetes. a Heatmap showing the log2FC (DN vs. Ctrl) values of MRTF transcriptional target genes in microdissected glomeruli from Pima early DN patients. b Pearson correlations between MRTF target gene expression levels and mesangial volumes in Pima early DN patients. c Heatmap showing the log2FC (DN vs. Ctrl) values of MRTF transcriptional target genes in microdissected glomeruli from ERCB patient datasets. Nonsignificant genes are shown in gray. DN, diabetic nephropathy; HT, hypertensive nephropathy; IgA, IgA nephropathy; FSGS, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; MGN, membranous nephropathy; SLE, lupus nephritis; RPGN, ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis; MCD, minimal change disease
