Autophagy and mitophagy are critical cellular processes that maintain homeostasis by removing damaged organelles and promoting cellular survival under stress conditions. In the context of diabetic kidney disease, these mechanisms play essential roles in mitigating cellular damage. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the recent literature on the relationship between autophagy, mitophagy, and diabetic kidney disease, highlighting the current state of knowledge, existing research gaps, and potential areas for future investigations.

Podocytes are essential to maintain the normal filtration function of glomerular basement membrane, which could be injured by ischemia-reperfusion. As complicated function of autophagy in terminal differentiated podocytes, autophagy dysfunction might contribute to I/R induced renal dysfunction following glomerular filtration membrane (GFM) injuries. Meanwhile, apelin-13, an endogenous polypeptide, has been proved to be effective in regulating autophagy and apoptosis in podocytes.

Diabetic nephropathy is a prevalent complication of diabetes and stands as the primary contributor to end-stage renal disease. The global prevalence of diabetic nephropathy is on the rise, however, due to its intricate pathogenesis, there is currently an absence of efficacious treatments to enhance renal prognosis in affected patients. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine protease, assumes a pivotal role in cellular division, survival, apoptosis delay, and angiogenesis.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and a major cause of end-stage renal disease. Isoferulic acid (IFA) is a phenolic compound that has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic effects. Researches and our previous study showed the potential anti-diabetic capacity and anti- oxidative stress damage targeting podocytes of IFA.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the common microvascular complications of diabetes, and there are still lack of effective treatments. Huaiqihuang (HQH) is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine mixed preparation, which is mainly made of Trametes robiniophila Murr, Fructus Lycii, and Polygonatum sibiricumhas. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of DKD, but the specific mechanism has not been fully elucidated.
