Abstract excerpt
AIM: Imbalanced M1/M2 macrophage phenotype activation is a key point in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Macrophages mainly exhibit the M1 phenotype, which contributes to inflammation and fibrosis in DKD. Studies have indicated that autophagy plays an important role in M1/M2 activation. However, the mechanism by which autophagy regulates the macrophage M1/M2 phenotype in DKD is unknown. Thus, the aim of the present...
