Irbesartan 36-46 long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 914 Homo sapiens 89-93 22100460-3 2012 Further, since a pathophysiological crosstalk between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and AGEs-RAGE axis is involved in diabetic nephropathy, it is conceivable that metformin and irbesartan additively could protect against the AGEs-RAGE-induced tubular cell injury. Irbesartan 178-188 long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 914 Homo sapiens 94-98 22100460-3 2012 Further, since a pathophysiological crosstalk between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and AGEs-RAGE axis is involved in diabetic nephropathy, it is conceivable that metformin and irbesartan additively could protect against the AGEs-RAGE-induced tubular cell injury. Irbesartan 178-188 long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 914 Homo sapiens 231-235 22100460-8 2012 Our present study suggests that combination therapy with metformin and irbesartan may have therapeutic potential in diabetic nephropathy; it could play a protective role against tubular injury in diabetes not only by inhibiting AGEs formation, but also by attenuating the deleterious effects of AGEs via down-regulating RAGE expression and subsequently suppressing ROS generation.
