Identification of diabetic patients with high risk for CKD progression has been challenging due to various limitations of traditional diagnostic methods. Epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation, have recently emerged as alternative predicting factors for diabetic nephropathy. Despite strong evidence of correlation, the mechanisms that link epigenetic changes in blood/monocytes with renal physiology are yet to be investigated. As such, it is important to examine the renal expression of these differentially methylated genes in diabetic individuals with and without CKD. Using an animal model of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and biopsy/nephrectomy samples from patients with T2D without and with CKD, we demonstrated that CUE domain containing 1 (<em>cuedc1</em>), microtubule-associated protein 7 (<em>map7</em>), LIM Homeobox 6 (<em>lhx6</em>) and Thioredoxin Interacting Protein (Txnip) were downregulated in the kidneys of T2D animals and patients without CKD.
