Unraveling reno-protective effects of SGLT2 inhibition in human proximal tubular cells
12 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Large clinical trials demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) slow the progression of kidney function decline in type 2 diabetes. Because the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown, we studied the effects of SGLT2i on gene expression in two human proximal tubular (PT) cell lines under normoglycemic conditions, utilizing two SGLT2i, namely empagliflocin and canagliflocin. Genome-wide expression...
