Correlation between mRNA expression of transcription factor genes in renal tubulointerstitium and SCR in DN patients. a–f The mRNA expression of AP1 (p = 0.022, r = 0.679), BACH2 (p = 0.007, r = 0.626), FOXD1 (p = 0.021, r = 0.555), FOXJ2 (p = 0.005, r = 0.653), IRF1 (from Ju: p = 0.007, r = 0.630; from Schmid: p = 0.049, r = 0.604) positively correlated with SCR. g–i The mRNA expression of FOXO4(p = 0.022, r = − 0.551), RSRFC4 (p = 0.016, r = − 0.572), S8 (p = 0.012, r = − 0.596) negatively correlated with SCR. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
