Histopathologically, DKD is characterized by renal hypertrophy, mesangial expansion, podocyte injury, glomerulosclerosis, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, ultimately leading to renal replacement therapy. Amongst the many mechanisms, hyperglycemia contributes to the pathogenesis of DKD via a mechanism known as non-enzymatic glycation (NEG). NEG is the irreversible conjugation of reducing sugars onto a free amino group of proteins by a series of events, resulting in the formation of initial Schiff's base and an Amadori product and to a variety of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs interact with cognate receptors and evoke aberrant signaling cascades that execute adverse events such as oxidative stress, inflammation, phenotypic switch, complement activation, and cell death in different kidney cells. Elevated levels of AGEs and their receptors were associated with clinical and morphological manifestations of DKD.

Small reactive carbonyl species, glyoxal and methylglyoxal, are the primary glycating agents and are elevated in several conditions associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, smoking, and aging. Thus, how protein glycation impacts the cardiomyocyte is of particular interest, to both understand how these conditions increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and how glycation might be targeted therapeutically. Glycation can affect the cardiomyocyte through extracellular mechanisms, including RAGE-based signaling, glycation of the extracellular matrix that modifies the mechanical environment, and signaling from the vasculature. Intracellular glycation of the cardiomyocyte can impact calcium handling, protein quality control and cell death pathways, as well as the cytoskeleton, resulting in a blunted contractility. While reducing protein glycation and its impact on the heart has been an active area of drug development, multiple clinical trials have had mixed results and these compounds have not been translated to the clinic-highlighting the challenges of modulating myocyte glycation.

In various experimental animal models of acute brain injury, Shh or Shh signal activators alleviate BBB disruption by increasing tight junction proteins in endothelial cells. Furthermore, activation of astrocytic Shh signaling reduces reactive astrogliosis, neuroinflammation, and increases the production of vascular protective factors, which alleviates BBB disruption in the damaged brain.
