Renal tubular VMP1 protects against acute kidney injury via modulating autophagy and autophagy-independent pathway
15 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy/autophagy activation protects renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) against acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by various challenges. The mechanism that regulates autophagy in PTECs, however, remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that VMP1 (vacuole membrane protein 1) plays an essential role in enabling PTECs to maintain high autophagic flow under AKI conditions. VMP1 in PTECs...
