Previous studies have shown that FTZ can improve diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the role and mechanism of FTZ in reducing renal lipid accumulation in DKD remain unclear. Phosphorylation of Adenosine 5'-Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of energy homeostasis, inhibits Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) signaling, thereby reducing fatty acid synthesis and promoting fatty acid oxidation via carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1). Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP-1), a transcription factor, regulates lipid metabolism through fatty acid synthesis. This study investigated the anti-lipid accumulation effect and mechanism of FTZ in vitro and in vivo. Streptozotocin (40 mg/kg/d, i.p. for 5 days, consecutively) combined with a high-fat diet (HFD) were used to induce a DKD model in C57BL/6J mice, followed by FTZ (1, 2 g/kg/d, i.g.) or Losartan (30 mg/kg/d, i.g.) treatments for 12 weeks.

In addition, compared with the control group, DKD mice and cells exhibited significantly increased lipid deposition. However, the effect of FTZ in alleviating lipid accumulation was reversed by Compound C. Furthermore, FTZ increased p-AMPK, p-ACC and CPT-1 protein expression while decreasing SREBP-1.

Moreover, plasma oleic acid levels showed a positive correlation with fetal growth in the context of adequate glycemic control, supporting a metabolic dysregulation of other pathways whose identification could help clinicians to discriminate different cases within the spectrum of severity of the disease. Finally, the correlation between plasma oleic acid and circulating BAFF levels at the time of diagnosis and 12 weeks later adds a possible mechanism to support the pro-inflammatory and pro-diabetic state in the metabolic set of GD.
