Autophagy is a highly conserved process that degrades cellular long-lived proteins and organelles. Accumulating evidence indicates that autophagy plays a critical role in kidney maintenance, diseases and aging. Ischemic, toxic, immunological, and oxidative insults can cause an induction of autophagy in renal epithelial cells modifying the course of various kidney diseases. This review summarizes recent insights on the role of autophagy in kidney physiology and diseases alluding to possible novel intervention strategies for treating specific kidney disorders by modifying autophagy.
自噬是一种高度保守的过程,可降解细胞内的长寿蛋白质和细胞器。越来越多的证据表明,自噬在肾脏维持、疾病和衰老中起着关键作用。缺血、毒性、免疫和氧化应激可导致肾上皮细胞自噬的诱导,从而改变各种肾脏疾病的进程。本综述总结了自噬在肾脏生理学和疾病中的作用的最新认识,暗示通过改变自噬来治疗特定肾脏疾病的可能新的干预策略。
