Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents a major chronic kidney disorder and a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Small RNAs have been showing great promise as diagnostic markers as well as drug targets. Identifying dysregulated micro RNAs (miRNAs) could help in identifying disease biomarkers and investigation of downstream interactions, shedding light on the molecular pathophysiology of DN. In this study, we analyzed small RNAs within human urinary extracellular vesicles (ECVs) from DN patients using small RNA next-generation sequencing. Method In this cross-sectional study, urine samples were collected from 88 participants who were divided into 3 groups: type 2 diabetes (T2D) with DN (T2D + DN, n = 20), T2D without DN (T2D − DN, n = 40), and healthy individuals (n = 28). The study focused on isolating urinary ECVs to extract and sequence small RNAs. Differentially expressed small RNAs were identified, and a functional enrichment analysis was conducted. Results The study revealed a distinct subset of 13 miRNAs and 10 Piwi-interacting RNAs that were significantly dysregulated in urinary ECVs of the DN group when compared to other groups. Notably, miR-151a-3p and miR-182-5p exhibited a unique expression pattern, being downregulated in the T2D − DN group, and upregulated in the T2D + DN group, thus demonstrating their effectiveness in distinguishing patients between the 2 groups. Eight driver genes were identified PTEN , SMAD2 , SMAD4 , VEGFA , CCND2 , CDK6 , LIN28B , and CHD1. Conclusion Our findings contribute valuable insights into the pathogenesis of DN, uncovering novel biomarkers and identifying potential therapeutic targets that may aid in managing and potentially decelerating the progression of the disease.
