Mitochondrial dysfunction is a pivotal factor in the onset of podocyte damage, which is a central component in the pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome (NS). However, the precise mechanisms underlying the changes in podocyte mitochondria remain elusive. Our study aims to clarify the potential mechanisms involved in the role of F-box protein 11 (Fbxo11) in NS, specifically concentrating on its impact on mitochondrial function.

To date, glucocorticoids remain the mainstay of treatment of nephrotic syndrome (NS). However, serious side effects and development of drug-resistance following long-term use limit the application of glucocorticoids. Protopanaxadiol (PPD) possesses activity of dissociating transactivation from transrepression by glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which may serve as a potential selective GR modulator.

Background: Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway induces uncontrolled cell proliferation in response to inflammatory stimuli. Adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy (ADRN) in rats triggers MAPK activation and pro-inflammatory mechanisms by increasing cytokine secretion, similar to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a crucial role in suppressing the expression of inflammatory markers in the kidney and may contribute to reducing cellular proliferation.
