Calorie restriction leads to degradation of mutant uromodulin and ameliorates inflammation and fibrosis in <i>UMOD</i> -related kidney disease
2025-12-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Mutations in UMOD , encoding uromodulin, lead to Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease (ADTKD), a genetic cause of kidney failure. UMOD mutations have a common gain-of-toxic-function effect, causing mutant uromodulin retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This leads to ER stress, alteration of protein homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics, defective autophagy and increa...
