Research Article: Profilin Promotes Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Apoptosis in Diabetic Nephropathy Through the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
Abstract:
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a significant microvascular complication of diabetes, has become the leading cause of renal failure worldwide. Recently, accumulating evidence from experimental and clinical studies has indicated that DN is caused by oxidative stress, inflammatory disorders, and metabolic disorders at onset and following progression of the disease., High glucose (HG)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and the production of a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase nuclear factor kappa-B (NF- ? B) levels and cause kidney injury, especially tubular injury, which is an important pathological feature of DN. Thus, to explore the underlying mechanisms of HG-induced tubular injury is for seeking a novel therapeutic strategy for DN.
