Published: October 2012

The most common cause of death in diabetes is cardiovascular. Diabetic nephropathy has an important role in cardiovascular disease among susceptible diabetic patients. What is not well appreciated is that independent cardiovascular death risk factors (e.g., hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemias and microalbuminuria) may each have a cyclic relationship with diabetic nephropathy. Thus, as discussed in this review, each risk factor may aggravate diabetic nephropathy, increasing the likelihood of end-stage renal disease. Diabetic nephropathy in turn may aggravate each of the risk factors, increasing the likelihood of a cardiovascular event. These cardiovascular risk factors, amplified by vicious cycles with diabetic nephropathy, may then lead to accelerated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs), comprising the greatest subfamily of E3 ubiquitin ligases with approximately 80 members of this family, are widely distributed in mammalian cells. TRIMs actively participate in ubiquitination of target proteins, a type of post-translational modification associated with protein degradation and other functions. Tripartite motif-containing protein 29 (TRIM29), a member of the TRIM family, differs from other members of this family in that it lacks the RING finger structural domain containing cysteine and histidine residues that mediates DNA binding, protein-protein interactions, and ubiquitin ligase, at its N-terminus.

To investigate the role of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6) in regulating podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN) through autophagy mediated by Notch signaling pathway. A blank control group (group A), a diabetic nephropathy group (group B), and a Sirt6 intervention group (group C) were established. The group A cells were human normal glomerular podocyte cell lines (HGPCs) without any treatment.

The escalating diabetes prevalence has heightened interest in innovative therapeutic strategies for this disease and its complications. Human amniotic epithelial stem cells (HAESCs), originate from the innermost layer of the placenta closest to the fetus and express stem cell markers in the amniotic membrane's umbilical cord attachment area, which have garnered significant attention. This article critically examines emerging research advancements and potential application values of hAESCs in treating diabetes and its complications.

Diabetic kidney disease is a leading cause of kidney failure worldwide and is easily detectable with screening examination. Diabetes causes hyperfiltration and activation of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system by hemodynamic changes within the nephron, which perpetuates damaging physiology. Diagnosis is often clinical after detection of heavy proteinuria in a patient with diabetes,but can be confirmed by observation of histologic stages on kidney biopsy.
