Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of kidney failure, characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. The complement system is increasingly implicated in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. The important complement anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a are key mediators of the innate immune system, which regulates cellular inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial homeostasis and tissue fibrosis. This review summarizes the involvement of anaphylatoxins in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease, highlights their important roles in the pathophysiologic changes of glomerulopathy, tubulointerstitial damage and immune cell infiltration, and discusses the modulatory effects of new anti-diabetic drugs acting on the complement system. Based on available clinical data and findings from the preclinical studies of complement blockade, anaphylatoxin-targeted therapeutics may become a promising approach for patients with DKD in the future.
期刊介绍：
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
