Aberrant Expression of SIRT6 and VNN1 in Peripheral Blood Monocytes of Children with Primary Nephrotic Syndrome and Its Diagnostic and Prognostic Values
Abstract:Objective. The objective is to explore the aberrant sirtuin-6 (SIRT6) and Vanin-1 (VNN1) protein expression in peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) of children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) and its diagnostic and prognostic values. Methods. 83 child patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and 65 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. The test of SIRT6 and VNN1 was performed by the Western blot. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic and prognostic value of… Show more
