Background: Mizagliflozin (MIZ) is a specific inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransport protein 1 (SGLT1) originally developed as a medication for diabetes.
Aim: To explore the impact of MIZ on diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods: Diabetic mice were created using db/db mice.
The maintenance of a healthy epithelial-endothelial juxtaposition requires cross-talk within glomerular cellular niches. We sought to understand the spatially-anchored regulation and transition of endothelial and mesangial cells from health to injury in DKD. From 74 human kidney samples, an integrated multi-omics approach was leveraged to identify cellular niches, cell-cell communication, cell injury trajectories, and regulatory transcription factor (TF) networks in glomerular capillary endothelial (EC-GC) and mesangial cells.

Objectives: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease in China, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aims to explore the regulatory role of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in autophagy and mesangial proliferation during renal injury in IgA.
Methods: The activity of mTOR and autophagy was evaluated in kidney samples from IgAN patients and in an IgAN mouse model induced by oral bovine serum albumin and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) injection.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus and has the complex pathogenesis. The previous study reported that protein kinase Bγ (AKT3) was involved in DN progression. Our aim was to explore the detailed mechanisms of AKT3 in DN development.

Extracellular Ca is the first ligand that has been confirmed to function by activating the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a member of G-protein coupled receptors. CaSR controls not only calcium homeostasis, but also plays a pivotal role in many cellular processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis; moreover, it is implicated in the development of cardiovascular diseases. TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway is a classical pathway of renal fibrosis.
