Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Podocyte epithelial-esenchymal transformation (EMT) induced by the activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a key role in DN. Tang-Shen-Ning (TSN), a Chinese herbal formula, has been shown to decrease proteinuria and protect the renal function in DN. However, the effect of TSN on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and podocyte EMT is unclear.
