Notes

Strategies improving mitochondrial functions have been demonstrated to be benecial for AKI treatment in mice models. In renal tubular epithelial cells of AKI mice, the mitochondria membrane potential was decreased and mtDNA was released into the cytoplasm. Interestingly, our results indicated that H could ameliorate renal tubular mitochondrial damage, as shown by the improved mitochondrial morphology and restored mtDNA content and mitochondrial gene expression.The improvement of mitochondrial dysfunction could block further release of mtDNA and therefore suppress STING signalmediated inammation and apoptosis.However, some limitations of this study should be noted.First, we did not evaluate the effect of H on AKI in STING knockout mice in vivo.Second, we did not observe the effect of H on tumor growth, which could limit the understanding of the effect of H on tumor pathology in clinical studies.Finally, the <a href="http://

Therefore, there remains a need for new therapeutic targets in diabetic kidney disease.Recently, glucagonlike peptide receptor agonists and sodiumglucose cotransporter inhibitors are important emerging therapeutic tools for patients with diabetic kidney disease. One additional novel therapeutic approach is enhancement of vasodilatory peptides, such as natriuretic peptides, as a complement to the approach using vasoconstriction blocking with ACEIARB.
